What if employers could stop "renting" networks and build one as a true asset? In this episode, we talk with Ryan Atwood (COO, Open Networks) about disrupting legacy healthcare contracting with a platform that brings predictability, simplicity, and transparency to network design. Learn how price transparency data is being transformed into actionable insights, why the Dallas-Fort Worth market is the launchpad, and what's next as Open Networks scales into 2026.
