ERC consultants came from everywhere, trying to help business owners qualify for 'free' government money during and after the pandemic. However, the money wasn't as free as you may have thought, and the IRS is now cracking down on those who took advantage of the system (and some may not have realized that they took advantage of it).

Deciding to leave an insurance plan is often framed as a reimbursement issue. In reality, many insurance exits fail because practices underestimate what comes next: patient communication, retention, scheduling impacts, cash flow shifts, and whether the practice truly understands its cost structure before making a change.

Practices that navigate insurance exits successfully tend to plan long before they announce a decision.
This article explores why many insurance exits fail, common mistakes, and what practice owners should evaluate before making changes that affect profitability and patient relationships.

The issue wasn't visibility. 38% of new patient calls went unanswered, and 80% of people who hit voicemail moved on to the next result. Incomplete Google profile, no online scheduling, missed calls, zero reactivation. Most practices don't have a marketing problem. They have a funnel problem.

Most practices do not have a visibility problem. They have a leaking funnel.
