Ep. 75 - Mallika Khandelwal Solves Bottlenecks, Speeds Starts and Saves Staff Sanity
Cut delays on Working Healthcare as host Meredith Hirsh interviews Mallika Khandelwal to expose how prior authorization, pharmacy routing and paperwork stall specialty starts and drain teams. Raised by two physicians and accepted to medical school, Mallika kept deferring before choosing the business side to make a bigger impact. She charts the path from Wall Street to clinic operations and why she founded Squad Health to help specialty practices. Mallika breaks down prescription navigation end to end and shows where faxes, portals and payer-preferred pharmacies trip up starts. With pragmatic tech plus human navigators, she shortens time to therapy, reduces abandonment and eases clinic workload while tackling the $100 billion patients pay out of pocket. Tune in to streamline access, lighten clinic workloads and accelerate therapy starts. Create change!
