Part 3 of 3 - Woody Waters
This is the final chapter — an unfiltered, eye-opening conversation with Woody Waters, co-founder of Reference-Based Pricing and Imagine360
In this finale, Woody and Ray pull no punches. They uncover why real healthcare reform will never come from Washington — and why business leaders must take control of their plans, their costs, and their people’s wellbeing.
Woody reveals why Imagine360 had to bring every solution under one roof — handling balance bills, claims, and member advocacy in-house to deliver the service excellence employers and employees deserve. You can’t rely on the same system that broke healthcare to fix it.
He also shares a shocking discovery: after hiring a consultancy to survey brokers and producers, over 70% claimed to be experts in Reference-Based Pricing — but only three could accurately explain how it works. The takeaway? The market is flooded with noise, and true expertise is rare.
In this episode:
- Why healthcare reform starts with leadership, not legislation
- How Imagine360 solves every issue under one roof — and why that matters
- The shocking truth about “RBP experts” who don’t understand the model
- Why owning a TPA became mission-critical for lasting change
- How empathy, transparency, and courage drive real reform
