Imagine walking into a negotiation to sell your house. The buyer knows what every comparable house in the neighborhood sold for, but you don't. That's essentially how many physicians have negotiated insurance contracts for decades. The insurance companies had the data. We had our contracts, our collections, and maybe a few conversations with colleagues. But now, the rules have changed.

Today we're talking about something that could fundamentally change the way your medical group negotiates with insurance companies: healthcare price transparency.

And here's the really interesting part. The information you need to negotiate better contracts may already be publicly available. The question is whether you know where to find it, how to interpret it, and most importantly, how to use it.

For years, I've watched physicians work incredibly hard to grow their practices, improve productivity, and manage expenses, while overlooking one of the biggest opportunities to improve their financial performance: getting paid appropriately for the work they're already doing.

2027 will be here before you know it. Is your medical practice ready?

As the year winds down, it's easy to get caught up in the day-to-day demands of running a medical practice. Between staffing challenges, financial pressures, reimbursement concerns, and keeping operations moving, planning for next year can quickly fall to the bottom of the list.

But the decisions you make now can have a lasting impact on your practice's success in 2027.

Are you confident in your financial performance? Do you have the right people and processes in place? Are you identifying opportunities to improve revenue, strengthen operations, and position your practice for growth?

At Health e Practices, we believe successful practices don't just react to challenges as they arise. They plan ahead.

In our article, "Preparing Your Medical Practice for 2027: Five Decisions to Make Before Year-End," we explore important considerations healthcare leaders should be thinking about now to enter the new year with greater clarity and confidence.

Don't wait until January to start planning for a stronger 2027.

What if physician burnout isn't really about burnout at all?

We're often told that the solution to physician burnout is more resilience, better work-life balance, or finding new ways to manage stress.

But what happens when the real problem isn't the physician, but the system they're working in?

In this week's episode of Medical Money Matters, Jill Arena sits down with Dr. MaryAnn Wilbur, a former gynecologic oncologist, author, and healthcare advocate, for an important conversation about the growing disconnect between the business of medicine and the practice of medicine.

After stepping away from clinical practice in 2022, Dr. Wilbur turned her attention to understanding why physicians are leaving the profession and what needs to change to create a more sustainable healthcare system.

Together, Jill and Dr. Wilbur explore how financial pressures, productivity expectations, and organizational priorities can conflict with the reasons physicians entered medicine in the first place.

It's a conversation that challenges us to ask a different question: Instead of asking physicians to become more resilient, shouldn't we also be asking how to create a healthcare system that better supports them?

If you missed this week's episode, it's worth a listen.

Your physicians are doing the work. But is your practice getting paid for it?

What if one of your biggest revenue opportunities isn't seeing more patients, adding more providers, or working longer hours?

What if it's simply capturing the full value of the care your physicians are already delivering?

Undercoding is a common but often overlooked challenge in medical practices. Whether driven by audit anxiety, habit, or uncertainty around documentation and code selection, it can quietly impact your bottom line.

At Health e Practices, our physician-led CodeMastery program helps clinicians build coding confidence, improve accuracy, and capture appropriate reimbursement without increasing patient volume.
And the potential financial impact is significant.

Our CodeMastery clinical results show an average annual undercoding revenue recovery opportunity of $30,000–$90,000 per billable clinician, with an average uplift of 0.417 RVUs per encounter through accurate, compliant E&M code selection.

As Anne Hirsch, MD, Medical Director and Co-creator of CodeMastery, explains: "Doctors don't need pressure to see more patients, nor do they need more administrative busywork. They need clear training from a peer to fully capture the complexity of the care they're already rendering."

Could undercoding be costing your organization more than you realize?

We've created a FREE Undercoding Insights Report to help physician owners and healthcare leaders better understand this often-missed revenue opportunity.

Are you managing your practice's revenue cycle by data or by feel?

You know your practice is busy. Your physicians are seeing patients. Claims are being submitted. Payments are coming in.

But do you really know how well your revenue cycle is performing?
Are collections where they should be? Are denials creating unnecessary delays? Are you missing opportunities to improve your financial performance?

For many medical practices, billing can feel like a black box. You know what's going in and what's coming out, but understanding what's happening in between isn't always easy.

At Health e Practices, we believe you shouldn't have to guess.

That's why we offer a FREE Practice Vitals Check to help you get a clearer picture of your revenue cycle performance.

Here's how it works:
đź“Š Step 1: Enter Your Data. Share a few easy-to-find metrics from your practice management system.
🚦 Step 2: Get Your Free Vitals Check. Our team reviews your information and provides a simple stoplight-style assessment, helping you identify what's working and what may need attention.
🔍 Step 3: Know Your Next Steps. If a deeper look is needed, our team can help with a comprehensive Revenue Cycle Assessment that identifies opportunities, prioritizes improvements, and helps you understand the potential return on investment.

You can't improve what you can't clearly see.

Stop managing your revenue cycle by feel. Start making decisions backed by data.

What happens when the business of medicine begins to interfere with the practice of medicine?

Physicians experiencing exhaustion, frustration, and disillusionment are often handed a familiar prescription: build resilience. Practice mindfulness. Take better care of yourself.

But what if the physician isn’t the problem?

What if a perfectly reasonable human being is having a perfectly reasonable response to a healthcare system that increasingly puts financial incentives, productivity demands, and organizational priorities at odds with good patient care?

In this episode of Medical Money Matters, I sit down with Dr. MaryAnn Wilbur, a physician, public health strategist, author, researcher, and advocate who is working to change the systems in which physicians and patients find themselves.

MaryAnn trained and practiced as a gynecologic oncologist before stepping away from clinical practice in 2022. Her experience led her to examine a much bigger question: Why are physicians leaving medicine, and what does their departure tell us about the health of the healthcare system itself?

MaryAnn is co-author of The Doctor Is No Longer In: Conversations with U.S. Physicians, Director and CEO of Health Equity Consulting, and an executive producer of Suck It Up, Buttercup, a documentary examining systemic problems in American healthcare. She is also involved with Medicine Forward and the Clinician Burnout Foundation.

One of the questions at the heart of this episode is one I suspect many physicians have quietly asked themselves:
“Is it me—or is there something fundamentally wrong with the system I'm working in?”

That question deserves more than a wellness seminar.
It deserves an examination of the systems, incentives, economics, and power structures shaping modern medicine.

You went to medical school to care for patients. But who taught you how to run the business of medicine?

Owning a medical practice comes with challenges that go far beyond patient care. From managing finances and negotiating payer contracts to overseeing staff, protecting revenue, and planning for the future, physician owners are expected to wear a lot of hats.

At Health e Practices, we understand those challenges, and we're here to help.

We've created a dedicated resource page specifically for physician owners, designed to help you identify what's holding your practice back and find practical solutions.

Whether you're wondering why your practice is busier but not more profitable, concerned about value visit, struggling with reimbursement, or thinking about your next stage of growth, we have tools, resources, and experienced advisors to help you move forward with confidence.

You don't have to figure out the business side of medicine on your own.

What would it take to build a healthcare system where physicians and patients can actually thrive?

In this episode of Medical Money Matters, Jill Arena sits down with Dr. Gabe Charbonneau, a rural family physician, technology entrepreneur, nationally recognized advocate for physician well-being, and co-founder of Medicine Forward, a grassroots organization focused on protecting and strengthening the patient-physician relationship. https://na2.hubs.ly/H08kZ0_0

Gabe is also the creator of the movement and https://na2.hubs.ly/H08kY_j0. His work has taken him from rural family medicine to healthcare technology, including co-founding the EHR automation company Fluent Systems, teaching physicians better EHR workflows, and advising organizations working with AI and medical documentation.

Jill and Gabe also serve together on the board of Orchid Health, an innovative rural health organization in Oregon.

Physician burnout is often framed as a problem of individual resilience: exercise more, meditate, develop better coping skills.

But what happens when the environment itself is the problem?

Jill and Gabe explore a different way of thinking about physician well-being—one that examines the systems, incentives, technology, leadership, and culture surrounding physicians.
Their conversation centers on a fundamental question: How do we create conditions in which physicians can do excellent work, patients can receive excellent care, and medical practices can remain sustainable?

Explore Medicine Forward and Gabe's work to strengthen the patient-physician relationship and advance systemic change in medicine.
