The single biggest hiring mistake a medical practice can make is hiring front desk staff for their resume and not their attitude. Research shows 89% of hiring failures are due to attitude, not a lack of skills. Yet most practices continue to hire for EHR experience and hope for the best. This is the root cause of the revolving door at your front desk. 

In this episode, we share a proven framework to stop the churn. Learn how to hire for attitude and train for skill, using behavioral interview questions and a structured hiring process. We also cover five data-backed tactics from the MGMA for retaining the great people you hire, including creating career ladders and effective onboarding. Stop wasting time and money on bad hires.

What if your OB/GYN practice could generate an additional $70,000+ in revenue without adding more patient visits?

In this episode, Dr. Heather Signorelli breaks down Advanced Primary Care Management (APCM)—a new set of Medicare codes introduced in 2025 that reimburse practices for the ongoing care management many providers are already delivering.

From care coordination and medication management to managing complex or high-risk patients, OB/GYN practices often perform significant work outside of office visits that historically hasn’t been reimbursed.

Dr. Signorelli explains how APCM works, why OB/GYN practices may qualify, and how implementing this program could unlock new revenue opportunities for your practice.
