Health e Practices Transforming the business and culture of medicine one practice at a time

Ambient scribes are one of the most exciting developments we’ve seen in clinical workflows in years. They promise less typing, less burnout, and more meaningful connection with patients.

And for many physicians, that alone feels like a long-overdue shift in the right direction.

But here’s the question: are they actually capturing the full clinical and financial story of the visit?
Because what we're seeing, across practices of all sizes, is that while ambient scribes are incredibly helpful… they’re not the whole answer.

And this isn’t a knock on the technology. In fact, I think it’s one of the most important tools we’ve added to the clinical environment in a long time. But like any tool, its value depends entirely on how it’s used—and what we assume it’s doing for us. Catch this ground-breaking discussion on this week's episode of Medical Money Matters.

How do you know if you really got paid? Reconciliation between bank deposits, practice management system payment posting and accounting system totals is one of the most persistent—and often overlooked—challenges in healthcare operations. And it's a fantastic internal control.

In this episode of the Medical Money Matters podcast, I sit down with Anatomy’s CEO Sasha King to discuss how groups should automate bank deposits, strengthen internal controls, and bring much-needed clarity to the reconciliation process. In a space where manual workflows and fragmented systems can quietly create risk, inefficiency, and lost revenue, Sasha's work is about creating structure you can trust—without adding complexity. You can connect with her via LinkedIn at: https://na2.hubs.ly/H04T3yr0 or via Anatomy's website at: https://na2.hubs.ly/H04T1Fb0

We’re proud to celebrate Anne M. Hirsch, MD, FACP recent contribution to Difficult Dilemmas for Chief Medical Officers (AAPL): a chapter on medical coding alongside Doug Koekkoek, MD and Rex Hoffman, MD.

Dr. Hirsch highlights something that often goes unspoken: medical coding isn’t just about compliance, it’s about how the value of care is recognized.

Too often, the complexity, time, and clinical judgment behind patient care are underrepresented. That gap doesn’t just impact reimbursement, it impacts how physicians perceive the worth of their work.

Her message is an important one: Coding is where your work is either recognized…or quietly devalued.

And when that translation is accurate, it helps:
• Reflect true patient complexity
• Reduce downcoding
• Support fair reimbursement
• Protect physicians from being systematically undervalued

We’re especially excited that Dr. Doug Koekkoek, a lead author on the book, is now working with us as a consultant, bringing expertise to help practices navigate all kinds of challenges.

This is the kind of conversation healthcare needs more of - one that connects documentation, value, and physician well-being.

In this week's episode of the Medical Money Matters podcast, we’re talking about something that tends to bring up a mix of reactions for physicians and practice leaders, and that is social media.

For some of you, this feels like something you know you should be doing more with, but it keeps getting pushed down the list. For others, it feels like noise or distraction, and you’re not convinced it really matters. And for a few of you, you’ve probably seen enough examples to feel a little cautious—maybe even concerned—about the risks.

And honestly, all of those reactions are valid.

Because social media, especially in healthcare, really is a bit of a double-edged sword. Done well, it can become one of your most effective tools for communication, visibility, and trust-building. Done poorly—or simply ignored—it can quietly work against you in ways that are easy to miss.

Did you miss it?

This week on Medical Money Matters, we unpack a costly mistake we see all the time: choosing a “cheap” revenue cycle solution… that quietly drains your practice.

Here’s the truth most groups don’t realize: It’s not about getting claims out the door, it’s about what happens after things go wrong.

Denials. Underpayments. A/R that needs real follow-up.

That’s where revenue is either recovered… or lost.

In fact, even a small performance gap can mean hundreds of thousands of dollars left behind each year in a multi-million dollar practice.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your revenue cycle is truly working for you or just “getting by” this episode is worth your time.

On this week's episode of the Medical Money Matters podcast, we're talking about something that seems really practical on the surface… but has massive implications for your income, your stress level, and the long-term health of your practice.

And that is this: Why going cheap on your revenue cycle is almost always a mistake.

Now, I want to start by saying—this is not about criticizing any specific vendor or company. This is about understanding how these systems actually work…so you can make better decisions.

Because revenue cycle is one of those areas in your business where…what looks like savings on paper… often turns into lost income in reality.

Today is National Doctors’ Day, a moment to pause and acknowledge the weight physicians carry.

You’re delivering clinical excellence while navigating staffing, reimbursement, and the realities of running complex organizations—often without formal training in the business side of medicine.

And still, you show up.

To our colleagues and clients: THANK YOU.
For the care you provide, the teams you lead, and the systems you hold together.

Your willingness to learn, adapt, and lead beyond clinical care is what strengthens practices, and ultimately, communities.

Are you collecting everything your practice earns?

Most practices track charges and payments. But very few step back to ask:
👉 Are we actually collecting what we should be?

We often see small issues that go unnoticed:
- Denied claims that could be prevented
- Payments that take longer than they should
- Accounts receivable that quietly builds up

Individually, they don’t seem like a big deal. But over time, they can significantly impact revenue.

That’s why we’re offering a simple first step: a free Revenue Cycle Vitals Check.

In just a few minutes, you can submit a handful of numbers from the past 12 months, and our revenue cycle team will review them to see if anything stands out.

No obligation. Just clarity.

💭 Ask 10 healthcare leaders about their biggest financial pressure right now… and you’ll likely hear the same answers:
Staffing costs.
Reimbursement.
Denials.

In our early responses to The 2026 Practice Financial Pulse, we’re seeing a clear pattern:

👉 ~40% of leaders cited staffing costs as a major financial pain point
👉 ~40% cited reimbursement
👉 ~40% cited denials

Others pointed to coding challenges and technology costs as key financial pressures.

It’s a good reminder that many practices are navigating the same challenges right now.

That’s exactly why we started this pulse survey — to understand what’s hurting, what’s working, and what leaders are doing to move forward.

📝 Take the 3-minute survey:

We’ll share the aggregated insights in The 2026 Practice Financial Pulse report and discuss them on the podcast.

Physicians and administrators are drowning in a sea of data, with no real information or business intelligence to work with. EMR's and practice management systems have dashboards galore, but how useful is the information really? Join me on this week's episode of the Medical Money Matters podcast for a fast-paced discussion with national data expert Nate Moore of Moore Solutions (https://na2.hubs.ly/H04kH8z0) as we talk about how physicians and practice leaders can take a different approach.

We wander through many topics, such as scheduling, denials, downcoding and many more concerns and how they can all be addressed with data analytics that lead to business intelligence. Nate's creative problem solving and facility with databases shines through our entire conversation.
