JR, Ali and guest Phil Surine talking ClaimsCore, DIAGNOSE, Neew Models and what is next at CMS

The January edition of the JR and Ali Show brings together a powerhouse trio to break down some of the biggest moves unfolding across Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services right now. JR and Ali, who consistently bring sharp perspective and know how to pull in the right voices, are joined by Phil Surine, President of Federal Health Services at Medkasa, for a timely and insight packed conversation you will be glad you did not miss.

 

Phil Surine is one of the most trusted voices in the federal health community. As a former Deputy Director for the Information Services Modernization Group at CMS and now a senior industry leader, he brings rare inside and outside perspective on how policy, funding signals, and early RFIs are shaping what comes next. Medkasa, a HUBZone small business, is known for turning complex legislation into systems that actually work, backed by a team of former federal staff, clinicians, program managers, and technologists with decades of Medicare and Medicaid experience.

 

Together, JR, Ali, and Phil cut through the noise to unpack what is really happening, where momentum is building, and what smart organizations should be paying attention to right now. If you are trying to get ahead of a fast moving and highly dynamic CMS landscape, this episode delivers the clarity, context, and foresight you are looking for. Definitely one you want in your queue.
