As we tackle the often-overlooked world of medical billing, how do you maximize payment reimbursement for the financial health of your medical business? Ever wondered if the big secret to getting the most out of your practice’s earnings is buried in the complexities of medical billing? 

Join me this week for a spectacular conversation with Paul Singh, the CEO (Chief Executive Officer) of Strata PT. Paul is the CEO of StrataPT. Strata’s mission is to help PT, OT & SLP practices run and grow better. Our goal is to become the Stripe for Healthcare. Strata solves healthcare worker's problems with technology and an incredible team – they help physical, occupational, and speech therapy practices get paid 99.99% of what they’re owed.
