Welcome to Beyond the Clinic!If you've been feeling stuck in your business, wondering why clients aren't flowing in despite all your hard work, you're not alone. No one taught us how to run a business when we trained as healthcare professionals.

Most private practice doctors are just copying the traditional healthcare model—but why? The mainstream system is broken, inefficient, and frustrating for both doctors and patients. If you're launching your cash-based or virtual medical practice, you don't have to do things the old way. In this episode, I challenge you to rethink every part of your practice, including: How patients actually find you (hint: it's not through your website) Scheduling & payments (you don't need a front desk or an EHR) Intake forms (do patients really want them?) Lab & imaging results (how to present them in a way patients actually understand) The future of medical records (voice notes, AI, and custom software) The best practices in medicine aren't just the ones we've always used—they're the ones that actually work.

A physician recently shared a post about how medicine is a minefield—you can do everything right and still get sued, blamed, or burned out. The system makes it easier to destroy doctors than to support them, and many are leaving for good. But instead of waiting for change, what if you made a shift? Some medical settings are more supportive than others Switching specialties or clinical settings can make a huge difference There are many non-clinical career options Cash-based care (concierge, DPC, or fee-for-service) provides more freedom I also share my personal experience: How I handled a medical board investigation My perspective on lawsuits and the reality of getting sued Why cash-based medicine is a viable way to stay in medicine on your terms Listen in for real talk on the challenges of being a doctor today—and how to find a better path.

Send us a textMeasles is making a comeback, and with it comes a heated debate on vaccine mandates, public health, and personal freedom. In this episode of CareTalk, Michael F.

Williams and John Driscoll, to debate the challenges of balancing individual rights with public safety, why vaccine mandates can backfire, and how misinformation fuels the controversy. 

I just signed the lease on my 500 sq ft clinic space in Long Beach, and I'm thinking a lot about what kind of practice I want to build. Instead of locking myself into a rigid model, I'm keeping things flexible—giving myself the option to shift between a cash-based walk-in clinic, urgent care, or even direct primary care. Why flexibility matters when starting a medical practice: You can adjust based on patient demand You're not stuck with a model that doesn't work for you You can scale up or down depending on how much patient care you want to provide I chose a retail space because I want to be visible and accessible. But if I don't get enough traction, I'll consider moving into a medical office building. Even in a small space, you can do a lot—bring in an NP or PA, offer virtual visits, host group coaching, and adapt your practice over time. Listen in as I share how I'm thinking about this new clinic and why you don't need to have everything figured out before you start.

If you're thinking about starting a cash-based, physical medical practice, there's one term you should know: GPO (Group Purchasing Organization). A GPO helps you save money by negotiating bulk discounts on medical supplies, medications, office essentials, waste disposal, and even malpractice insurance. Instead of setting up contracts with multiple vendors yourself, you get instant access to lower prices through these organizations. Pros: Streamlined purchasing Discounted rates on supplies & services Access to vendors that typically work with larger organizations Cons: Some GPOs have membership fees (though most don't) Less flexibility in product selection Popular GPOs to check out: Medline Premier Inc. McKesson Cardinal Health Vizient MPPG (Medical Practice Purchasing Group) Should you use a GPO? It depends! If you're just starting out, you may be fine ordering directly from a major supplier like McKesson. But as your practice grows, a GPO can simplify operations and cut costs. Have you used a GPO before? Let me know your thoughts! Email me at drmo@digitalnomadphysician.com.

Is the healthcare system truly designed to keep us well, or is it driven by corporate interests?

In this episode, Brian Gallagher highlights the rapid pace of change in business and technology—using AI, automation, and blockchain as analogies for how physical therapy practices must evolve or risk falling behind. While AI may not directly run a PT clinic, the way owners manage their business is changing just as rapidly as AI is reshaping industries. The old-school model of handling everything in-house—billing, front desk, HR—is no longer sustainable. To stay ahead, practice owners must confront reality and adapt their business strategy to remain competitive. Visit megbusiness.com for more information or to schedule your free practice assessment.

Ever had a difficult patient who seemed like more trouble than they were worth? It happens to all of us and it's not that the patient is bad, it's that we don't have the right processes in place to avoid customer related headaches. One of the biggest advantages of running a private, cash-based practice is the freedom to choose how you handle patient payments—including the ability to offer refunds strategically. In this episode, I share a real-world example where a refund could have prevented major headaches, negative reviews, and even a potential malpractice lawsuit. I also break down: Why refunding a patient's money is sometimes the best business decision How this flexibility helps protect your practice from bad faith disputes How refunds build long-term trust and improve your reputation If you're a physician considering a cash-based or direct-care practice, this episode will help you understand how having control over financial policies can protect your career and reduce liability. ---------------------------- Thanks for tuning in to the Digital Nomad Physician podcast!

A Bond Account is a self-directed brokerage account with Public Investing, member FINRA/SIPC. Deposits into this account are used to purchase 10 investment-grade and high-yield bonds. The [6.7%] yield is the average annualized yield to maturity (YTM) across all ten bonds in the Bond Account, before fees, as of [9/05/2024]. A bond's yield is a function of its market price, which can fluctuate; therefore a bond's YTM is “locked in” when the bond is purchased. Your yield at time of purchase may be different from the yield shown here. The “locked in” YTM is not guaranteed; you may receive less than the YTM of the bonds in the Bond Account if you sell any of the bonds before maturity, or if the issuer calls or defaults on the bond. Public Investing charges a markup on each bond trade. See our Fee Schedule. Bond Accounts are not recommendations of individual bonds or default allocations. The bonds in the Bond Account have not been selected based on your needs or risk profile. You should evaluate each bond before investing in a Bond Account.

Daniel Tribby is a dynamic leader and entrepreneur who has made a significant impact in the realm of private healthcare. With a deep understanding of the challenges healthcare providers face, Daniel authored a comprehensive guide aimed at helping providers shift their thinking and enhance their business acumen. His journey into business development was self-taught through workshops, coaching, and an avid habit of reading 2 to 3 books a month.  As the founder of a thriving practice in Orlando, Daniel discovered that while many healthcare professionals excel in patient care, they often lack the skills necessary to run a successful business. This realization led him to write his book, providing a much-needed resource for healthcare entrepreneurs. The book covers essential topics such as branding, marketing, sales processes, customer service, and financial management, all tailored specifically to the healthcare industry. Daniel's approach is grounded in his own experience of building a practice from the ground up. He is passionate about teaching others how to create sustainable businesses that not only survive but thrive in a competitive market. His expertise extends to innovative treatments like stem cell therapy, where he champions the use of the body's natural healing abilities to avoid overprescribed medications and unnecessary surgeries. Through his website, Daniel offers consultation services, providing healthcare providers with the tools and strategies they need to succeed. His mission is to empower providers to develop both their clinical skills and business acumen, ensuring they can deliver exceptional care while also running a profitable practice. Key Takeaways  1. Healthcare Providers Need Business Skills: Many healthcare professionals lack formal training in business development, leading to challenges in running a successful practice. Daniel emphasizes the importance of acquiring entrepreneurial skills to complement clinical expertise. 2. Effective Marketing Requires Empathy: Traditional healthcare marketing often focuses on credentials and accolades rather than addressing patient needs. Daniel advocates for a shift towards empathetic marketing that resonates with patients on an emotional level. 3. Invest in Professional Development: Whether through hiring experts or self-education, investing in professional development is crucial for healthcare providers looking to succeed as entrepreneurs. Daniel encourages practitioners to prioritize learning and growth to navigate the complexities of running a business effectively. Timestamps [00:21:53] Daniel Tribby discusses the lack of business development education in healthcare and the necessity for providers to learn foundational business skills. [00:24:31] The conversation shifts to marketing in healthcare, highlighting the importance of empathetic messaging and the pitfalls of focusing solely on credentials and accolades. [00:29:12] Daniel outlines two approaches for healthcare providers to embrace entrepreneurship: hiring experts to manage the business side or committing to learning and implementing business skills themselves. [00:33:39] Explaining stem cell therapy, Daniel emphasizes its potential as a revolutionary approach to orthopedic medicine, offering natural healing solutions for conditions like back pain and rotator cuff tears. Quotes 1. "Just hanging my letters on a door won't bring patients; it's not how it works anymore." 2. "To succeed in healthcare, you must work on and in your business." 3. "Stop unnecessary surgeries and treatments; focus on healing from within." 4. "Address the root cause of ailments for true healing."

In this week's show, John brings back a popular guest. She appeared twice in the past to describe the founding and management of her MedSpa business. Recently, Dr. Lisa Jenks was approached by several private equity firms about purchasing her MedSpa. At first, she didn't consider a sale. But as time went on, she thought about her future retirement, and the idea began to appeal to her. She started by talking with some of the firms to gather information and better understand her options. Later, she selected a firm to work with and began discussions in earnest. After agreeing on a sale price, they began working out the details of the sale. Six months later, the necessary contracts were signed and Lisa passed ownership to the new owner. During our conversation, Lisa explains: why she decided to sell her business, the factors that made the offer attractive to her, what she did to prepare for the sale, and how long she would remain as an employee and consultant for the new owner.
