Starting a private practice can feel overwhelming — but you don’t have to learn everything the hard way. In Part 2 of our three-part Roundtable Series for new SPOT practice owners, Aaron brings together three powerhouse Florida clinic owners — Aimee Brueck, Hasina Echoles, and Jennifer Voltz-Ronco — to talk honestly about the biggest mistakes most new practice owners make and the lessons they wish someone had told them earlier.

This episode zeroes in on insurance contracts and payer strategy — how to evaluate which payers are truly profitable, when it makes sense to say “yes,” and when dropping a payer is actually the healthiest move for your practice. The group shares real-world metrics they use, common red flags to watch for, and how to protect your margins without sacrificing patient care.

If you’ve ever wondered whether an insurance contract is helping or hurting your business, this conversation will give you clarity, confidence, and practical next steps.
