Most physicians don’t need to “make more money.”
They need to stop leaking it.

That’s why Health e Practices created Physician’s Edge.

This program isn’t theory. It’s a practical roadmap designed to help practice owners and leaders:

✔ Find revenue leaks in current operations
✔ Read financials in minutes (and know what to fix first)
✔ Tighten coding, billing, and revenue cycle performance
✔ Make smarter decisions about staffing, payer mix, and growth
✔ Protect cash before it quietly walks out the door

We’ve watched physicians recover thousands, sometimes tens of thousands, of dollars simply by applying what they learn inside this course.

Right now, Physician’s Edge is available at a limited-time discount because we understand how tight margins feel in today’s healthcare environment. If you implement even a fraction of what’s taught, this program can more than pay for itself.

If you’re serious about running your practice like the business it is, without burnout or overwhelm, this is for you.

“You spent a decade learning medicine… but who taught you to read your P&L?”
If the answer is “no one,” you’re not behind, you’re exactly where most physicians are.
At Health e Practices, we help physicians finally understand their financials, diagnose revenue leaks, and make smarter business decisions without pausing clinical work or becoming an accountant.
It’s time to run your practice with the same confidence you bring to patient care.

Here's a topic that separates thriving practices from those that drift — the key metrics that don’t just describe your practice, but actually predict its future.

If you’ve ever felt like your practice is reactive rather than proactive, this episode of Medical Money Matters is for you. You might be tracking revenue and visit volume, but unless you’re watching the right signals — the ones that truly forecast performance — you’re flying blind. By the end of today’s show, you’ll know the 7 metrics that matter most, how they work, industry benchmarks where available, why they matter, and how often you should be reviewing them.

You’ve probably heard the phrase measure what matters. But in medical practice management, that’s easier said than done. There are hundreds of numbers you could look at — claims denials, phone calls, referral turnaround, days to bill — but some have real predictive power. We’ll go through the seven most predictive ones today, and even give you two “extra credit” metrics for when your group is ready to level up.

Negotiated payer rates are public… sort of.

For decades, some of the most important numbers in healthcare lived behind locked doors. The actual negotiated rates between payers and providers—the numbers that determine whether a practice thrives, survives, or quietly bleeds margin—were treated like trade secrets. You were expected to negotiate them, manage against them, and forecast your future with only partial visibility. (Which may also be referred to as guessing.) And now, suddenly, those rates are posted online. Publicly available. Downloadable by anyone. Often buried inside massive machine-readable files that can be tens or even hundreds of gigabytes in size, split across dozens of links, and structured in ways that make them nearly impossible to interpret without specialized tools.

So yes, the data is “public.” But that doesn’t mean it’s usable. And that gap—between availability and usability—is where the real story begins.

This episode of the Medical Money Matters podcast isn’t about patient shopping tools or consumer price estimates. This is a conversation for physicians, administrators, and revenue leaders who live in the real world of payer contracts, underpayments, denials, and annual budget pressure. It’s about what the price transparency laws actually unlocked on the payer side, what data is now available because of them, why payers released it so reluctantly, and why a whole new category of software has emerged almost overnight to turn that raw data into something you can actually use. And most importantly, it’s about why renewing insurance contracts—every single year—is no longer optional best practice, but essential financial governance.

New year, new goals… but how many of us actually prioritize professional development as a resolution? Most people jump into January thinking about eating better, working out more, maybe saving some money or getting more sleep. And those are all important. But here’s something that often gets left off the list—and it might be the most important investment you can make: developing yourself as a leader, and investing in the growth of your team.

If that hasn’t made it onto your list of resolutions, I’m going to make the case for why it should be on today's episode of the Medical Money Matters podcast. In fact, I’d argue it might be the single most strategic move you can make this year—for yourself, your organization, and your team.

Whether you’re a physician leader, an operations executive, or a practice administrator, staying stagnant is not an option. The world of healthcare is simply changing too fast. The workforce is demanding more than just a paycheck. And organizations that don’t evolve—well, they start to fall behind pretty quickly.

Today, we’re diving into the “why” and the “how” of professional development in 2026: how to get started, what it can look like, and how to avoid the all-too-common trap of underinvesting in your own growth—and that of the people around you.

What if your next big change wasn’t executed on day one… but first asked as a simple question: “What would happen if we did this?” What if you stopped offering walk in appointments for two weeks, or changed your scheduling template entirely, or removed all paper forms—and saw what surfaced? That kind of question is the heart of a thought experiment—a structured “what if?” scenario that lets leadership explore change without diving straight into full implementation.

In a sector like healthcare—where change is expensive, stakes are high, and risk is real—thought experiments give you a way to test assumptions, surface hidden risks, uncover unexpected opportunities, and engage your team in the future before you commit your budget, staff, or systems. At Health e Practices, we’ve seen some of the most effective transformations begin not with a mandate, but with a moment of curiosity: “What if we did this—and what might break first?”

Today on the Medical Money Matters podcast, we’ll walk through what thought experiments are, why they matter in medical groups, how to run them effectively, what to do when they succeed (and when they don’t), and how to build a culture around them that makes your organization smarter, more resilient, and more agile.

Imagine this: You see a patient, perform the exam, document the care, your staff submits the claim—to all appearances everything looks right. But then the claim comes back denied. The team may shrug, file it away, mark it unresolved. And the revenue disappears. What you delivered—the service, the documentation, the provider expertise—is lost financially. And more often than you think, this is happening silently. And this is in addition to the money you’re losing on adjustments, which we reviewed in our last episode of the Medical Money Matters podcast.

Today we’re diving into an issue that’s also quietly eroding the bottom line of many medical groups: claim denials that aren’t followed up. The stats are startling: about 20% of medical insurance claims are denied (yes, you heard that correctly: one in five) and around 65% of those denials are never appealed or corrected. Put those together and you get this: if 20% are denied, and 65% of those are lost, you’re effectively giving away 13% of your revenue. That’s a huge hit—and yet most practices aren’t managing it as one of their top financial risks. Many aren’t even aware of it. They’ve just gotten used to it over the years as an “acceptable loss.”

This isn’t theory—it’s real work you’ve done, for real patients, with real documentation and care. And if you don’t follow up on denials, you’re essentially saying someone else’s rules are dictating your revenue. For physician groups, this means margin gets squeezed, growth stalls, and independence becomes harder to maintain. All because you’re handing over a bunch of money to the payers.

Imagine this: you see a patient, orders the labs, do the follow up, navigate the complexity, chart the visit, and deliver the care. The work is done. Then someone in the billing department closes the claim with a single click, marking it as “adjusted off.” You never see the revenue. You might not even know it was written off. That’s a dollar (or many dollars) you earned but never realized—and it happens way more often than you think.

Today we’re going to pull back the curtain on one of the quietest, yet most destructive revenue leaks in medical group finance: adjustments—the write offs, the staff mistakes, the unmonitored decisions that erode your bottom line. We’ll talk about what adjustments are, why many revenue cycle departments don’t monitor them, the real cost of uncontrolled write offs, and how you can take back control. If you’re a physician leader, an administrator, a CFO, or part of a practice leadership team, this episode is for you.

Groups that adopt AI thoughtfully will outpace those who don’t—faster than most people realize.

That’s the bottom line. AI isn’t some futuristic buzzword anymore. It’s here, it’s already changing how practices operate, and it’s moving fast. Medical groups that learn how to integrate AI into their daily routines—clinically, operationally, administratively, financially—will be more efficient, more scalable, and frankly, more competitive than those who wait and see.

If you’re picturing robots walking around the office, let me stop you right there. We’re not talking about futuristic sci-fi. We’re talking about tools that write your notes for you, draft your emails, analyze your claim denials, and help you prepare for board meetings—all in a fraction of the time it used to take.

Today, on the Medical Money Matters podcast, we’re going to talk about practical, daily AI use for physicians and healthcare administrators. We’re going to break it down into four key categories—areas where AI is already making a huge difference in real practices, and where it can start helping yours right away.

We’re kicking off Season 4 of the Medical Money Matters Podcast, and we’re celebrating something big. Over 10,000 downloads. Listeners tuning in from nearly 1,000 cities across the country—and even internationally. And we’re entering our fourth year of episodes. Honestly, that number still stuns me a little. When we launched this podcast, our goal was simple: to help physicians and practice leaders navigate the business of medicine without losing sight of why they went into medicine in the first place.

We wanted to demystify the money side. To have honest, clear conversations about things like revenue cycle, financial strategy, payer policies, and practice independence. We believed then—and we still do now—that when doctors understand the financial side of their practice, they’re better equipped to lead, grow, and stay independent.

And we’re just getting started.
