Episode 201
Tuesday, 7 April, 2026

Brad Briner, North Carolina state treasurer, and Alex Mullineaux, Aledade regional market president, join Josh Israel, MD, and Sean Cavanaugh to discuss the state health plan’s new preferred provider strategy. The goal of this approach is to improve patient health outcomes and reduce costs by connecting patients with clinicians that have a proven record of high-quality, cost-effective care. Treasurer Briner and Alex share how this strategy came about, the benefits for patients and how North Carolina hopes to scale the plan in the future. In phase one, the state health plan approved partnerships with three networks to support this initiative, including Aledade.
