# Podcast episode: Payer enrollment with Megan Struxness

Feb 5, 2026

Podcast

In this episode of [Understanding Healthcare](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNXk49dDXro), Stedi CEO Zack Kanter talks with [Megan Struxness](https://www.linkedin.com/in/megan-struxness-79962866/), Head of Revenue Cycle Management at [Bridge](https://www.usebridge.com/), a platform that helps providers accept insurance.

During the episode, Megan and Zack break down what it actually takes for a provider to onboard with insurance. They also cover eligibility checks, EMRs, front-end denials, and how payer contracts shape revenue.

They cover how healthcare plans are funded, how Medicare Advantage differs from traditional Medicare, how eligibility checks work, medical coding, and why what doctors bill insurers isn't what they're paid.
