Most practices think they need more—more patients, more visits, more volume. But what if the real revenue opportunity isn’t volume at all… it’s coding?
In this episode, Dr. Heather sits down with Dr. Anne Hirsch, an internal medicine physician turned coding expert and physician coach, to explore why most practices are coding far below what their clinical work justifies—often doing a level 5 visit, documenting a level 4, and billing a level 3.
You’ll learn:
• Why “fear-based coding” is silently draining your revenue
• The most common undercoding patterns physicians don’t realize they’re doing
• How better documentation reduces burnout and increases clinician confidence
• Real examples of everyday visits that should nearly always be level 4s
• How to implement quarterly audits, templates, and MDM habits that actually stick
• Why physician-to-physician coding education creates better adoption and outcomes
• How improved coding can add $30,000–$35,000+ per physician per year—without adding a single new patient
If your practice hasn’t had a coding audit in the last 6–12 months, this episode is your wake-up call.
