What if the two most important questions in your practice— 'Is this financially viable?' and 'Am I doing the work I love?' — didn’t have to compete?
In this eye-opening episode, Jeremy dives deep into the strategic crossroads every private practice owner faces, especially when considering whether to take insurance, stay private pay, or explore a hybrid model. He breaks down the real numbers, state-by-state reimbursement differences, and the often-overlooked red flags in insurance relationships—like sneaky non-quantitative treatment limitations and the true cost of claim denials.
You’ll learn why Medicare Advantage's recent rate hike isn’t as rosy as it seems, how chargebacks can be your secret diagnostic tool, and when it’s time to DIY, outsource, or insource your billing. And perhaps most importantly, Jeremy challenges you to think bigger: to step into your role as CEO, shift your money mindset, and design a practice that serves both your clients and your bottom line.
If you're weighing your next move in practice management, this episode is your roadmap.
