Episode 018 | Matt Ohrt is the Co-Founder and Chief Healthcare Officer of Self Fund Health, Wisconsin's Sustainable Health Plan.

Self Fund Health combines traditional TPA, PBM, Direct Primary Care, and Direct Contracts under a single technology platform to dramatically simplify what’s needed for employers to succeed.
