Brian ThomasHOST
Since it's 805, we're going to talk with Brian Eibold, who brought a friend with him today, Crystal Rack.

And I was shocked to learn that The Help Squad, which is a 501c3 Christian nonprofit organization, whose mission is to share hope and compassion and grace through faith and community collaborative, assisting families in crisis with short-term financial support, wraparound services for food, clothing, and shelter, getting people in touch with resources that are out in the world that people never otherwise would have found out.

help squad dot com Well, we're leaving Crystal Rack out of the equation here.
Brian ThomasHOST
She's with CareSource, but she got it because I said, wait a second, you're involved with the Help Squad because you know about all of these other resources out in the world that may be almost impossible for someone who really needs it to find.
Crystal RackGUEST
Absolutely.

Brian ThomasHOST
You just go to the help squad dot com.
Brian ThomasHOST
Well, we're leaving Crystal Rack out of the equation here.
Brian ThomasHOST
She's with CareSource, but I mean, she got it because I said, wait a second, you're involved with the Help Squad because you know about all of these other resources out in the world that may be almost impossible for someone who really needs it to find.
Crystal RackGUEST
absolutely and that's what care source is about is empowering people who are on medicaid to make a choice in their managed care organization we are one of those choices and care source is one of the only non-profit managed care organizations out there in ohio and what we do is we offer enhanced benefits to help people that are that brian are helping out there in other ways so how can we get a life coach for somebody to help them manage their finances so they don't get into a crisis mode again So a lot of people think Medicaid, they think medical, dental, vision, but really some managed care organization like CareSource, it's so much more.
Todd HollstHOST

Anson FrericksGUEST
Yeah, I mean, there's just two key things, very simple.
Anson FrericksGUEST
One, are we lowering the total cost of care to care for these individuals? And then two, are these people getting qualitatively and quantitatively healthier and better? So on the first front, in terms of lowering costs, one of our investors is CareSource, which is the largest Medicaid insurance company in the state of Ohio, one of the largest ones in the Midwest.
Anson FrericksGUEST
We're going to Georgia next.
Anson FrericksGUEST
It's one of their markets.
Anson FrericksGUEST
They can give us patient level information that shows before a Radley Care peer intervened and is doing the ongoing navigation.
Anson FrericksGUEST
What were the cost of these people? How many times are they showing up in the ER? How many times are they showing up for other specialty visits? And what was the cost? And we just got back information this past week from CareSource showing that once we intervene and after six months, we have definitively driven down by 20% the number of times that people are utilizing ERs and utilizing outpatient care.
Anson FrericksGUEST
And we've therefore driven down the cost by about 20% of these individuals.
Anson FrericksGUEST
And these are large numbers when a lot of these patients cost on average almost $100,000 a year in medical costs and fees and behavioral health stays.
Curtis WilkersonHOST
Coach Cal was at Fayetteville High School.
Curtis WilkersonHOST
He was doing, um- I think it was through CareSource, like a mental health, uh, pep rally on Friday.
Curtis WilkersonHOST
They do some of their exhibitions through that, like it's kind of the charitable cause that they go through.
Curtis WilkersonHOST
And he talks to some media afterwards.
