Small medical practices are losing an average of 100,000 CHF per year — not due to bad medicine, but due to missing AI tools in billing and administration. In this episode, Malcolm Werchota exposes a massive inefficiency in the DACH healthcare system: Medical Practice Assistants (MPAs) working without AI training, just as the TARDOC migration with 4,600 new billing codes approaches.

The result? 5–7 hours of manual work every weekend, unread email floods, and six-figure losses from billing errors.

And the crazy part: there are no AI courses for MPAs across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, even though 80% of 500,000 doctors want to use AI — but don’t know how.

Malcolm breaks down real AI solutions — automated billing checks, intelligent email triage, meeting transcription, and more. He shares insights from his collaboration with the MPA Academy in Buchs and explains why this untapped market represents 10–50 million EUR in potential.

Plus: upcoming training dates on October 28, November 11, and November 26 for those ready to act now.
