  • Putting Power Back in Patients’ Hands With AI Appeals with Zach Veigulis, Co-Founder & Chief AI Officer at Claimable Inc.

    Putting Power Back in Patients’ Hands With AI Appeals with Zach Veigulis, Co-Founder & Chief AI Officer at Claimable Inc.
    Apr 23 2026
    What if patients could use AI to successfully challenge insurance denials and regain access to the care they need? In this episode, Zach Veigulis, Co-Founder & Chief AI Officer at Claimable Inc., discusses how his company uses AI to help patients appeal denied medical insurance claims and regain access to care. Drawing on his experience as the former chief data scientist at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs innovation center, Veigulis explains that while billions of medical claims are processed each year, a significant portion are denied and almost none are appealed. Claimable addresses this gap by enabling patients and healthcare organizations to quickly generate evidence-based appeal letters that incorporate medical history, clinical guidelines, and legal protections, achieving about an 80% success rate in some conditions. By empowering patients to exercise their legal right to appeal and involving employers or regulators when appropriate, the platform aims to reduce care abandonment, improve access to treatment, and alleviate administrative burdens on physicians. Tune in to hear how Claimable is empowering patients, reducing physicians' administrative burden, and helping more people get the treatment they deserve!

    The Infrastructure Powering the Future of Care with Robin Goldsmith, Practice Leader for Healthcare and Life Sciences at Verizon Business
    Apr 21 2026
    Connectivity becomes transformational in healthcare when it helps providers extend their expertise, close access gaps, and support care beyond the hospital walls. In this episode, Robin Goldsmith, Practice Leader for Healthcare and Life Sciences at Verizon Business, shares why connectivity is no longer just infrastructure. It is becoming a strategic foundation for healthcare delivery. Drawing on nearly two decades in the space, Robin explains how the pandemic exposed major gaps in access for patients without reliable devices or networks, and why that moment clarified the role telecommunications can play in healthcare transformation. He discusses the growing pressure on providers to improve patient and clinician experience while managing thin margins, workforce shortages, and rising demand for more distributed care. Robin also highlights how stronger network infrastructure, better partnerships, and new models for rural health, remote monitoring, and even robotic surgery can help health systems expand access and move care closer to patients. Tune in to learn how connectivity is helping healthcare become more responsive, more distributed, and more equitable. Resources: Connect with and follow Robin Goldsmith on LinkedIn!
