Cash flow isn't exactly the sexiest topic for physicians—I get it. Most doctors would rather talk treatment plans than talk money. But here’s the thing: if your billing company is slow to collect or mismanages insurance negotiations, it could be quietly draining your practice. Delayed payments, missed collections, and overlooked claims aren’t just annoying—they can make running your practice way harder than it needs to be.
In this episode, I break down how to evaluate and optimize your billing partnership using three key areas that directly impact your bottom line. You’ll learn how to spot red flags in your billing reports, ask the right questions to improve cash flow, and turn your billing company into a true business partner that helps your practice grow. When you understand what’s happening with your money, you can finally stop stressing over payroll and start building the practice you actually want.
