  • Ep 44: They Knew and They Profited Anyway with Matthew Bergman
    2026/06/25
    Rachel speaks with Matthew Bergman, founding attorney of the Social Media Victims Law Center, about the landmark KGM verdict — the first social media addiction case in the United States to reach a jury. In March 2026, a Los Angeles jury found Meta and YouTube negligent in the design of their platforms and awarded $6 million in damages to a young woman whose mental health was seriously harmed by her use of Instagram and YouTube beginning at age six. Matthew has spent four years building the legal case that made this moment possible, and the theory at its center is straightforward: this was never about content. It was about a product engineered to be addictive — one that shows kids not what they want to see, but what they cannot look away from. The conversation covers Section 230 and how the product liability approach found a path around it, the eggshell plaintiff doctrine and why blaming the victim failed in court, and what the verdict actually changes for the thousands of similar cases still working through the courts. Matthew also speaks directly to clinicians: ask about social media. When you see anxiety, depression, eating disorders, or suicidality in young patients, social media needs to be part of the assessment. The youth mental health crisis started in 2012 — when content began being fed to kids algorithmically — and the research establishing a causal relationship has only grown stronger since.

  • Ep 43: When Payers Own the Data: What the CAQH Rebrand Means for Providers
    2026/06/18
    In this solo episode, Rachel Harrison takes a break from her usual guest conversations to address something that has been generating a lot of discussion in the mental health community this week: the rebranding of CAQH as DataSpring. If you have been in mental health practice for any amount of time, you know CAQH. It is the credentialing portal most clinicians and practice owners have relied on for years to maintain licensing, training history, liability insurance, and practice information for insurance credentialing — a system designed so that providers enter their data once and it flows out to multiple payers rather than filling out the same paperwork over and over again for each insurance company. But CAQH is no longer the nonprofit utility it once was. In January 2026, the organization converted from a nonprofit and became owned by a consortium of 12 of the nation's largest health plans, including UnitedHealth Group, Cigna, Aetna, Humana, Centene, Elevance Health, and several Blue Cross Blue Shield plans. And this past week, the organization rebranded as DataSpring, powered by CAQH — a change timed to coincide with the AHIP 2026 conference, a major gathering for health insurance executives. Rachel walks through what the rebrand actually means, why the ownership shift matters, and what questions every clinician and practice owner should be asking right now. She covers the concerns being raised in the field — including whether payers will use this platform in ways that benefit their own administrative processes at the expense of providers, whether incomplete data could be used to slow credentialing or delay directory listings, and what oversight exists when the governing board is made up of representatives from the very insurers pulling the data. She is also clear about what we do not yet know: this is a developing situation, independent reporting has not fully caught up, and there is no confirmed evidence yet that providers are being harmed. But the structural shift is significant, and Rachel makes the case that awareness matters even when we do not have all the answers.

  • Ep 42: What Clinicians Need to Know About AI Law with Dr. Nick Shumate
    2026/06/11
    Rachel Harrison speaks with Dr. Nick Shumate, a psychiatrist at the Division of Digital Psychiatry at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School, whose background is as rare as it is relevant: before medicine, he was a regulatory attorney practicing before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. That combination of clinical training and legal expertise is exactly what drove him to lead a sweeping 50-state review of how the United States is governing artificial intelligence in mental health — research that produced findings every clinician and practice owner needs to understand. The conversation covers what that legislative review actually found: 793 state bills reviewed, 143 with direct or indirect implications for AI in mental health, and just 20 enacted into law across 11 states. Dr. Shumate walks through the four major categories of governance that emerged from the research, explains why the near-total absence of clinicians from the policy-making process is one of the study's most striking findings, and makes the case that the rules being written right now will shape the conditions under which mental health care is delivered for years to come. He and Rachel also dig into the practical questions clinicians face today: what disclosure and informed consent look like when AI is part of the care equation, and why eighty percent of high-acuity patients using AI for mental health support have not told their providers about it.
