Margins are getting tighter, but not always for the reasons you think.

Join LACMA for an exclusive webinar on May 6 uncovering the hidden economics of independent primary care.

Featuring Dr. Sara Pastoor and Manisha Goud of Elation Health, this session breaks down where revenue is quietly slipping away, and how to reclaim it without adding more work or compromising patient care.

What you’ll gain:
• Identify the hidden cost drivers impacting your bottom line
• Capture revenue already within your existing workflows
• Align scheduling, documentation, and billing for full reimbursement
• Walk away with a practical, physician-friendly action plan you can implement immediately

If you’re running an independent practice, this is about working smarter, not harder.

Presented by Elation Health: Independent practices are working harder, but margins aren’t keeping up. Learn where revenue is slipping away and how to start getting it back using the systems you already have.
