The Saving Dose

✓

Claim

75% of patients do not take medications as prescribed. 125,000 Americans die from it every year. $528 billion in preventable costs trace directly to a gap the healthcare system has known about for decades and never closed: what happens after the prescription is written.

The Saving Dose is a podcast about that gap, the space between the clinic visit and the outcome, between the evidence-based treatment and the patient who never receives it, between the innovation that works and the reimbursement system that decides whether anyone can afford to deliver it.

Hosted by Dr. John Hsu, and William Pedranti, the show brings together a behavioral health revenue strategist, an addiction medicine physician, and a biotech entrepreneur to go inside the clinical, operational, and commercial realities of addiction recovery, medication adherence, opioid use disorder (OUD), and behavioral health. Three different vantage points on the same broken system. Honest about what fails, specific about why, and direct about what a real fix requires.

Topics include: addiction, addiction recovery, MOUD and MAT clinic operations, medication-assisted treatment adherence, behavioral health reimbursement, opioid use disorder treatment, payer contracting, DEA compliance, FFS-to-value-based care transitions, and the patient adherence gap in controlled substance prescribing.

The Saving Dose is for investors evaluating the addiction recovery and behavioral health infrastructure market. For clinic operators and executives running opioid treatment programs, MOUD practices, and behavioral health facilities. For clinicians in addiction medicine and pain management. For payers and administrators navigating the cost and risk of behavioral health coverage.
