Podcasts about RCM

Todd Doze, CEO of Janus Health, specializes in bringing AI to hospitals to connect the hospital revenue cycle management with the overall patient experience. Automating some manual RCM tasks, such as prior authorizations and referrals,  has led to significant reductions in claim denials, faster processing times, fewer errors, and better compliance with recent legislation. Challenges remain to ensure the AI model's accuracy and to demonstrate clear ROI and a direct impact on the hospital's revenue. Todd explains, "Today at Janus, we focus on helping providers improve their operational and financial efficiency. We work with about 250 acute care hospitals across the country, servicing some of the largest health systems in the nation by providing automations and AI-driven operational intelligence. This gives management insight into what their revenue cycle folks are doing to ensure they're taking the optimal paths to adjudicate claims and also automating as much of the laborious, tedious work that goes into treating patients in the most optimal manner." "There are a lot of very manual pain points within the rev cycle experience. For example, many of us have been referred by our primary care physician to a specialty provider. A very common example is referring to an imaging center for an MRI or X-ray. And many times, to access an appointment with that specialty provider, the provider may need to submit a prior authorization request to the patient's insurance. And then there's also the communication loop process focused on the referral. And so there are many areas for error, and there are a lot of ways the patient experience can go south very quickly."  #JanusHealth #AIinHealthcare #HealthcareAI #HealthTech #HealthcareOperations #RCM janus-ai.com Download the transcript here

Dr. Mike Gao, President of Smarter Technologies, says that the distinction between clinical care and revenue cycle management (RCM) was a historical decision that is no longer valid. Clinical care is determined partly by what payers cover and what proof they require of the patient condition. In turn, the codes and other information used for billing are summaries of what happened in the clinical visit.In this environment, doctors have to take into account not just the symptoms and history presented by the patient, but the patient's environment and insurance coverage. No one can keep all this in mind.So AI tools such as Smarter Technologies provide a "super-intelligence" that can combine the data needed by the physician. Dr. Ruben Amarasingham, Co-Founder of Pieces Technologies which is now part of Smarter Technologies, says that AI can bring doctors "real contextual understanding of what's happening to their patients."Learn more about Smarter Technologies: https://www.smartertech.com/Healthcare IT Community: https://www.healthcareittoday.com/

In this episode of What's Best For The Patient Is Best For The Business, Jerry sits down with Paul Singh CEO of StrataPT, just days after the 2025 Private Practice Section (PPS) conference in Florida. They dive deep into Paul's highly attended presentation, "Moneyball for PT Practices," and discuss the evolving landscape of physical therapy practice ownership, M&A strategy, and the tech transformation happening in the industry.Paul brings a unique Silicon Valley perspective to healthcare, drawing from his extensive background in tech investing and startups. He breaks down the critical difference between "getting bought" versus "getting sold" - a concept that resonated powerfully with practice owners seeking to understand their true business value and exit strategies.From the packed exhibit hall filled with AI-powered solutions to the contrasting conversations about clinician burnout happening in the conference rooms, Jerry and Paul provide an unfiltered assessment of where the PT industry stands and where it's heading. They explore the influx of venture capital, the proliferation of new tech players, and what it all means for practice owners trying to build valuable, sustainable businesses.Key Takeaways- Getting Bought vs. Getting Sold: There's a fundamental difference between putting a "for sale" sign on your practice (which creates downward price pressure) and being so valuable that buyers come knocking without prompting. Paul illustrates this with the Mint.com story - how understanding WHY a buyer wants to acquire you can 10x your valuation in six months.- Build to Grow, Not Just to Exit: The activities required to prepare a practice for acquisition are identical to those needed to grow a thriving business. Practice owners should focus on creating genuine business value rather than just preparing for a sale.- Think Like a Consumer Business: The most valuable PT practices will be built by owners who think of themselves as consumer businesses, not just healthcare providers. This mindset shift is what creates billion-dollar exit opportunities.- The Tech Conference vs. The Burnout Conference: PPS 2025 revealed a stark dichotomy - the exhibit hall was dominated by well-funded tech companies and AI solutions, while just 1000 feet away, packed rooms of practice owners discussed preventing burnout and retaining clinicians. This disconnect reveals where the industry's growing pains lie.- Output Over Features: With every vendor claiming AI capabilities, the critical question shifts from "what technology do you have?" to "what outcome do I get?" Practice owners need to demand billing-aware, audit-safe solutions that deliver measurable results, not just impressive features.

THE SECOND SECTION of the Book of 1 Enoch isn't as well known as the part that deals with the fallen Watchers, but it's important for New Testament theology. The Book of Parables, chapters 37–71 of 1 Enoch, deals specifically with how the world will be purified from the sin introduced by the rebellious Watchers. To the author(s) of this section of 1 Enoch, which was probably written by Essenes in the Galilee between 25 BC and the end of the first century BC (in other words, just before the birth of Jesus), the world had been so corrupted by the fallen angels that only God's direct intervention could put things right. This week, we share the historic backdrop of the Book of Parables: The return of Jews from Babylon who found a priesthood in Jerusalem that believed the age of prophecy was over, repeated invasions by Greeks, Armenians (yes, really), Parthians, and Romans, and civil war, which only intensified a belief among the group that came to be known as Essenes that the arrival of a Savior was imminent. When he didn't come on schedule (sometime between 90 and 80 BC), the Essenes revised their timeline. After a period of civil war, followed by a Parthian invasion around 40 BC, Herod the Great, governor of Galilee, returned from Rome with the backing of the army of Mark Antony (yes, that one).  When Herod drove the Parthians from Judea in 37 BC after a three-year war, many Essenes apparently thought Herod was the Anointed One—the Messiah! It didn't take long for Herod to disabuse everyone of that notion.  That's the back story of the Book of Parables. It was written at a time when many Jews believed Messiah's arrival was imminent. The Book of Parables was a reminder that God's promises would be fulfilled, and the agent of God's imminent judgment was a figure called the Anointed One, the Chosen One, and, most frequently, the Son of Man. This would all be nothing more than historical interest except for an important fact: Jesus applied the title “the Son of Man” to himself 78 times in the New Testament, and that title doesn't appear in any Jewish writing prior to the Book of Parables.

THE SECOND SECTION of the Book of 1 Enoch isn't as well known as the part that deals with the fallen Watchers, but it's at least as important from a theological perspective. The Book of Parables, chapters 37–71 of 1 Enoch, deals specifically with how the world will be purified from the sin introduced by the rebellious Watchers.

Reimbursements in health care have gotten more complex with the growing importance of risk-based, value-based plans and behavior change. In this video interview, Tiffany Waltos, Director of Revenue and Analytics at Community Health Care in Northern Ohio, discusses today's pressures on revenue cycle management and ways health care providers can respond.Community Health Care, with 19 offices and 65 providers with a focus on primary care, realized they needed to put clear rules in place for coding and billing and create consistency among doctors so that submissions would be approved the first time around. One of the big things that helped them do this was to contract for the RCM (Revenue Cycle Management) consulting services offered by their eClinicalWorks EHR vendor. Working together they were able to address some of the more complex issues they faced and improve their RCM efforts.Learn more about Community Health Care: https://www.chci.com/Learn more about eCW: https://www.eclinicalworks.com/Healthcare IT Community: https://www.healthcareittoday.com/

In this episode of What's Best for the Patient Is Best for Business, Jerry Durham delivers a solo deep dive into one of the most critical yet misunderstood areas of physical therapy business success: “Arrivals.”Speaking from the stage of the APTA Private Practice Section (PPS) conference, Jerry shares the philosophy, process, and practical tools behind improving patient arrivals—and why mastering this concept can solve nearly every downstream business problem in a PT clinic.Jerry explains how his years of studying the entire patient journey led him to realize that success doesn't start in the treatment room—it starts at the front desk. He honors the admin and intake teams who carry enormous influence over patient outcomes but are rarely empowered or trained to own that impact.In this talk, Jerry breaks down why PT clinics must stop trying to “fix problems in the weeds” and instead step back to design systems that guide the patient from their first call to successful completion of care. He introduces his five-step front desk sales process—a structured, relationship-centered approach to patient communication that builds trust, manages expectations, and prevents objections before they ever arise.Whether it's cancellations, no-shows, or poor reviews from patients who “got better but had a bad experience,” Jerry shows how the solution always leads back to understanding and optimizing the patient's arrival experience.Key Takeaways:- Arrivals Solve All Business Problems: Every business metric improves when patients show up. Focusing here simplifies management and reduces chaos across billing, scheduling, and clinical outcomes.- The Front Desk = Patient Success: The front desk isn't administrative—it's strategic. Their conversations determine not only who arrives, but how the entire journey unfolds.- Solve from the Big Picture: You can't fix recurring no-shows or cancellations by tweaking scripts. You must zoom out to understand the full patient journey and define success at every touchpoint.- The 5-Step Front Desk Sales Process: Acknowledge → Find a problem to solve → Get expectations → Sell the expert → Tell them what they'll get for their time, money, and energy → Ask how they want to pay.- Objections Are Preventable: “It costs too much” isn't an objection—it's a sign you didn't build value early enough. Great processes eliminate objections before they happen.- Love the Work of the Front Desk: These are the true doers in healthcare—the team most capable of improving patient success when empowered with the right systems and mindset.Tune in for a masterclass on patient experience design, front desk empowerment, and how truly understanding “arrivals” can transform your practice from chaotic to consistent, from transactional to transformational.

The dental industry is chronically supply-constrained: 97% of dentists report staffing as their primary volume limiter, 95% cite extreme recruiting difficulty, yet 75% of hygienists prioritize schedule flexibility above all else. This structural mismatch created the opportunity for Toothio—a labor marketplace connecting dental professionals seeking flexible work with practices facing critical staffing shortages. In this episode, we sat down with Ian Prendergast, Co-Founder and CEO of Toothio, to unpack how he applied labor marketplace principles from hospitality and light industrial verticals to dental, why DSO enterprise customers emerged as the true ICP only after launch, and how being an industry outsider enabled business model innovation that insiders missed. Topics Discussed: How a single golf course conversation with a dentist exposed the 97% staffing crisis and validated the market opportunity Translating labor marketplace GTM from Qwick (hospitality staffing) and Steady Install (light industrial) into dental The supply-demand structural imbalance: dental growing 10.5% CAGR, 40% workforce departure in 2020, insufficient pipeline Supply-first marketplace development and why quality/reliability required deep supply pools before demand acquisition The ICP evolution from private practices (faster sales cycles, lower risk validation) to DSO enterprise (higher volume, stickier retention) Building credibility as outsider founders through strategic SME hires, advisors, and embedding in industry associations The enterprise motion: hiring CCO and SVP Sales with dental Rolodexs to access top-10 DSO decision-makers Quantifying previously unmeasured costs: 100%+ recruiting cost increases, industry-leading turnover rates, $1,560+ daily production loss per unstaffed hygienist Leveraging AI agentic systems to eliminate geographic marketplace constraints for national expansion The moat-building roadmap: layering SaaS and RCM software over the distribution channel to increase switching costs GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Supply depth before demand scale prevents unit economics collapse: Ian's experience across three labor marketplaces reinforced one principle: excess supply is recoverable, excess demand is catastrophic. With too much demand and insufficient supply, you're "spending a bunch of money to acquire these demand users, but you're not able to fulfill the supply side. So now they're churning out at a high clip, they're going somewhere else. And now it drives up your CAC across the marketplace and reduces your lifetime value." In two-sided marketplaces, founders must resist investor pressure to show demand-side revenue before supply reliability is proven—the temporary revenue bump destroys long-term unit economics. ICP clarity requires live market data, not pre-launch assumptions: Toothio launched targeting private practices (shorter sales cycles, lower barriers, faster learning) before discovering DSOs were the actual ICP through usage cohorts showing materially higher volume and retention. Ian was explicit: "Once we got into it, we realized...the true ICP is going to be our group practices." The tactical framework: establish presence across plausible segments, instrument everything, collect 1-2 quarters of behavioral data, then redirect resources to wherever retention and expansion metrics are strongest. This data-driven ICP discovery prevents premature optimization around the wrong customer profile. Hire senior enterprise operators when you have validation plus clear TAM: Toothio broke conventional early-stage wisdom by hiring a Chief Commercial Officer and SVP Sales—roles typically considered "top-heavy"—because Ian had validated product-market fit and identified a concentrated enterprise opportunity (hundreds of DSOs). The result: "Next thing you know, we're in front of five or six of the top eight or ten DSOs in the country." The decision framework: if you have (1) proven unit economics, (2) clear product-market fit signals, and (3) an enterprise TAM with established relationship networks, senior hires with category Rolodexs can compress multi-year enterprise sales cycles into quarters. Without all three conditions, follow conventional wisdom and stay lean. Outsider economic analysis creates differentiated value propositions: Ian's non-dental background enabled him to "look at the dental office P&L and the core drivers of production with a completely neutral lens and realize that there was a lot of waste." He quantified what insiders hadn't: recruiting costs up 100%+ in five years, dental turnover among the highest of any U.S. industry, and the compounding cost of cancelled patient days (immediate production loss + 20% patient churn × $10-15K lifetime values). This economic framing repositioned Toothio from "staffing vendor" to strategic finance partner. The pattern: outsiders should weaponize their fresh perspective by conducting rigorous economic impact analysis that category incumbents haven't done, then speak to buyers in CFO language rather than operational features. Industry association involvement is enterprise distribution, not brand marketing: Ian credited local and national dental association sponsorships as "the catalyst to get us on the radar of some of the bigger orgs early" because associations created credibility signals plus network effects at scale. In relationship-driven B2B categories with strong professional associations (dental, legal, accounting, healthcare), sponsorship generates repeated exposure to concentrated decision-maker populations and warm introduction paths that cold outbound can't replicate. Founders should map the association landscape in year one, treat it as a primary distribution channel with measurable pipeline contribution, and staff it with team members who can build genuine relationships—not just write checks. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

As AI agents take on more decisions across the revenue cycle, the question isn't how fast automation can move — it's how safely it operates. This session explores the guardrails of governance in an AI-driven RCM environment, outlining practical steps to ensure transparency, compliance, and human accountability as automation scales.Brought to you by www.infinx.com

In this episode of What's Best For The Patient Is Best For The Business, Jerry sits down with Julia Zhou, a seasoned Healthcare Technologist with nearly 30 years of experience on both the payer and provider sides of the industry. They dive deep into the practical and transformative role of Artificial Intelligence in healthcare, moving beyond the hype to explore its real-world applications.Julia brings a unique, high-level perspective, arguing that AI is not a magic bullet but a powerful tool that must be strategically integrated. She outlines a clear framework for healthcare organizations to adopt AI successfully, emphasizing that the goal isn't to chase technology, but to solve pressing business and patient-care challenges.From smart scheduling and revenue cycle management to ambient clinical documentation and personalized patient engagement, Julia breaks down how AI can streamline workflows, empower providers, and fundamentally improve the patient journey—ensuring the right person gets the right care at the right time.Key Takeaways:• Start with the Problem, Not the Tool: The most successful AI implementations begin by identifying the organization's biggest pain points, not by searching for the latest tech developments. Julia advises asking, "If you had a magic wand, what would you solve?"• AI is an End-to-End Patient Engagement Engine: Discover how AI can revolutionize the entire patient experience—from pre-visit summaries that prepare a provider in one minute, to ambient listening during consultations, and post-visit follow-ups that improve compliance and reduce claim denials.• The Criticality of an "AI Readiness" Assessment: Before implementation, organizations must ask hard questions about their data governance, guardrails, KPIs, and manual processes. Automating an inefficient system only amplifies its problems.• Think Upstream to Prevent Chaos: Jerry and Julia challenge listeners to use AI proactively to solve problems like patient no-shows and claim denials at their source, rather than just creating bots to fill empty slots or chase down payments.• The Future is "Right Person, Right Place, Right Time": The ultimate value of AI in healthcare is its ability to act as a sophisticated triage and coordination system, ensuring patients and providers connect in the most effective and efficient manner possible, whether in-person or via telehealth.Tune in for a conversation that demystifies AI and provides an actionable roadmap for leveraging technology to enhance patient outcomes and build a stronger, more resilient healthcare business.

As healthcare gets more complex, revenue cycle management has gotten more complex as well as it becoming more difficult to find high quality RCM staff. That's why it's no surprise that many medical practices are outsourcing their RCM efforts. This was the case for Heather Boone, Clinical Supervisor at Orlando Heart and Vascular Institute, who decided to work with eClinicalWorks‘ revenue cycle management services. After choosing to have eClinicalWorks manage their RCM, they saw an increase of 30% in their reimbursements. Plus, payments are made an average of 21 days faster than before thanks for a mixture of eCW's highly skilled staff, learnings they bring from managing other practices' RCM, and leveraging AI.Learn more about Orlando Heart & Vascular Institute: https://www.heartorlando.com/Learn more about eCW: https://www.eclinicalworks.com/Healthcare IT Community: https://www.healthcareittoday.com/

More management and insurance knowledge in my newsletter: https://www.odysseymgmt.com/newsletter In this special takeover episode, Ashley Bond shares why dental billing isn't a solo job, it's a team sport. When hygienists, assistants, and front office staff work in sync, claims get paid on the first try. Clinical notes play a critical role here; detailed SOAP notes (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan) ensure accuracy and prevent denials. Ashley shares how poor documentation and missing details like forgetting how old a crown is can cost practices thousands. She explains why “stock narratives” no longer cut it and how patient-specific notes support both revenue and liability protection. Using clinical note templates built around procedure codes, real-time communication, and tracking denials can dramatically reduce resubmissions. Ashley emphasizes that the administrative load on dental teams is heavier than ever and why outsourcing billing to specialists can free up time, restore patient trust, and prevent burnout. Outsourcing isn't just delegation, it's collaboration. With structured documentation, clear systems, and a trusted billing partner, every part of the practice works smarter, not harder.   Get your free Clinical Notes Blueprint and simplify how your team documents every procedure.  https://www.withwisdom.com/teresa   ------------- I created Dental Revenue Network to foster collaboration and networking amongst RCM professionals.

In this episode of What's Best For The Patient Is Best For Business, Jerry reconnects with a force from his past, April Oury. Once a multi-clinic physical therapy practice owner, April has successfully pivoted into the world of venture capital and angel investing. She shares her incredible journey from treating patients to funding and advising the next generation of health tech startups.Jerry and April dive deep into the critical mindset shifts necessary for success in today's healthcare landscape. They challenge the status quo, debunking common myths that hold clinicians back, such as the belief that "healthcare is different" and that standard business principles don't apply. April brings a fresh perspective from the investor's table, explaining how her operational experience as a PT practice owner makes her a uniquely valuable asset in the venture capital space.She also reveals how learning to play poker transformed her approach to business and investing, teaching her how often she should actually be "folding" in order to maximize her success rate.Key Takeaways:• Stop Fighting for Scraps: The biggest opportunity isn't in the 10% of the population currently seeking PT, but in the 90% who aren't being served. The future lies in creating new models to reach them.• Your Value is Multi-Dimensional: Your skills as a clinician and business operator are highly valuable outside the clinic. Don't box yourself in; your expertise can be a major asset to tech companies and startups.• Adopt an Investor Mindset: Learn to "fold" bad opportunities (like a founder with a great idea but no execution) so you can "bet" your energy and resources on the ventures and strategies with the highest potential.• Tech is an Ally, Not an Enemy: Technology and one-to-many models are not here to replace therapists but to solve the massive therapist shortage and serve patients you would never have reached with a traditional model.• Own the Process, Not Just the Outcome: Success comes from consistently following a proven strategy, not from fixating on every single result. Sometimes the right process leads to a short-term loss, but it wins in the long run.

Send us a textThe digital front door to healthcare is jammed, and it's costing patients, providers, and payers alike.In this episode of CareTalk Executive Features, host David Williams talks with Dr. Ashish Mandavia, CEO and cofounder of Sohar Health, about how AI and automation can transform eligibility and benefits verification from a frustrating bottleneck into a seamless, real-time process.

Dr. Bicuspid Editor-in-Chief Kevin Henry joins me to discuss some crazy current events! A California dentist has been sentenced to 75 years to life in state prison after what prosecutors called a “reign of terror.” The man's crimes included multiple sexual assaults against five female patients and an extern, with victims ranging in age from 19 to 73. Prosecutors said he treated the women “as his playthings,” committing the assaults while they were under anesthesia and alone in his office. What broke the case open was the courage of a dental assistant, who secretly filmed one of the assaults, exposing the abuse and ending years of unchecked violence. The conversation examines how this could happen inside a dental practice where patients should feel safest and the red flags that every dental professional must recognize. From patient safety and sedation oversight to the ethics of working alone with anesthetized patients, this disturbing story forces the industry to confront hard truths about accountability and protection. Our discussion continues into the state of the dental profession today. A new Delta Dental study shows preventive care has finally returned to pre-pandemic levels, but capacity hasn't caught up. Hygienist shortages continue to strain practices, and legislative moves across states like licensure compacts and the rise of oral preventive assistants aim to fill the gaps. There's also a sharp look at data trends: claims show a rise in occlusal guards and fillings, signaling more stress-related wear and tear, and new fraud triggers are catching the attention of insurers. Teresa and Kevin unpack how AI, remote admin roles, and shifting workforce models are reshaping the business of dentistry and what every practice owner needs to know to adapt.

In this episode of What's Best For The Patient Is Best For Business, Jerry sits down with the leadership team from LASO Wellness: Founder & CEO Ron Cappello, Chief Strategy Officer Greg Perry, and Chief Growth Officer Tanny Crawford.LASO Wellness provides high-quality nutraceuticals designed specifically for physical therapy practices to offer their patients. The conversation dives deep into the critical shifts happening in healthcare and why physical therapists are uniquely positioned to adopt a more holistic, "whole-person" approach to patient care.Jerry and his guests explore how integrating trusted nutritional supplements is a natural extension of the clinical guidance PTs already provide, strengthening patient relationships while simultaneously creating a new, frictionless revenue stream for the practice.Key Takeaways:• Relationships Over Transactions: Discover why the deep trust and extended time PTs have with their patients is the "golden ticket" to forward-integrating into their long-term health and wellness.• The "Easy" Model: Learn about LASO's "three no's" model—no capital, no inventory, and no administrative burden—designed to enable practices to say "yes" without adding operational headaches.• Become a Resource, Not Just a Clinic: Shift your mindset from running a practice to building a platform for patient wellness, using your credibility to recommend evidence-based solutions for joint health, sleep/recovery, and overall nutrition.• Overcoming the "I'm Not an Expert" Hurdle: LASO addresses common PT concerns head-on by providing access to a paid-for nutrition certification program and a curated resource center of clinical research to build confidence in making recommendations.Tune in to learn how embracing this model combats declining reimbursements, enhances the patient experience, and ultimately does what's best for both the patient and the business.

In this episode of What's Best For The Patient Is Best For Business, Jerry sits down with Lissa Taitano, Director of Clinical Operations for Livara Health. Livara is a purpose-built musculoskeletal (MSK) management solution that combines care planning, delivery, and navigation to create a more connected healthcare system.Lissa, a physical therapist by training with over 15 years of experience in value-based care, pulls back the curtain on how a truly patient-centric model delivers superior outcomes for both people and businesses. She details Livara's journey from a local clinic to a national leader, explaining how integrating a holistic, biopsychosocial approach—including physical therapy, pain reprocessing therapy, nutrition, and health coaching—led to patients getting "100% better, faster" while simultaneously reducing costs and surgical utilization.This conversation is a masterclass in the future of MSK care. Jerry and Lissa tackle the tough questions every practice owner needs to ask, challenging the unsustainable fee-for-service status quo and outlining the essential mindset shift required to thrive.Key Takeaways:• Why the traditional, fragmented model is failing MSK patients and how a "quarterback" approach creates central accountability and a seamless patient journey.• The power of a holistic, biopsychosocial model: Discover how addressing contextual drivers like stress, nutrition, and mental health is the key to unlocking better outcomes and preventing chronic pain cycles.• How to build a powerful patient engagement strategy that extends beyond episodic clinic visits, using technology and personalized communication to meet patients where they are.• The business case for value-based care: Learn how proactive, high-engagement models lead to dramatically lower costs (35-45%), reduced surgical utilization (40-53%), and higher patient satisfaction.• The two things clinic owners must do today to prepare for the future: Collect and leverage your clinical outcome data, and be open-minded about changing your business model to prioritize value over volume.Tune in for an inspiring and practical look at how getting upstream, owning the patient's entire MSK journey, and focusing on what's truly best for the patient is, unequivocally, the best path forward for business.

Healthcare providers waste $950 billion annually on manual workarounds caused by fragmented EHR systems and integration costs that don't scale. Shadowbox has developed a patented browser technology that functions as an API, enabling instant EHR data access without traditional integration expenses. In this episode of Category Visionaries, we sat down with Gregory Stein, CEO of Shadowbox, to dissect how the company evolved from serving desperate lab diagnostics customers to building strategic partnerships with established healthcare IT players like HC1 to reach health systems.   Topics Discussed: How the 21st Century Cures Act information blocking provisions remain largely unenforced, allowing EHR vendors to maintain data monopolies through integration fees Shadowbox's technical architecture: a white-labeled browser that accesses the document object model and API endpoints to extract HIPAA-compliant data without custom integrations Market entry strategy—targeting financially distressed lab diagnostics providers who couldn't afford traditional integration costs The HC1 partnership model: splitting the market by use case rather than geography, with HL7/API integrations going to HC1 and rapid, low-cost deployments going to Shadowbox Sequential interoperability capabilities that enable multiple vendor touchpoints (prior authorization, eligibility verification, billing) from a single data extraction   GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Target customers facing existential financial pressure, not optimal market conditions: Shadowbox entered through lab diagnostics—a commoditized, low-margin segment hemorrhaging money where providers faced $5K-$50K integration costs per connection taking 3-6 months. Greg acknowledged labs are "the redheaded stepchild of healthcare" but their desperation made them willing to pilot unproven technology. The lesson: segments with severe unit economics problems become early adopter pools because status quo costs exceed perceived risk of new vendors. Build a partnerships function before you have market leverage: Shadowbox hired a partnerships-focused employee early to cultivate relationships with RCM vendors and lab information system providers already selling to target customers. Rather than waiting for customer traction to attract partners, they used partnerships to generate initial traction. Greg emphasized healthcare adoption requires credible references—partnerships provide instant credibility entrepreneurs can't buy. Map your ecosystem's existing vendor relationships and pursue co-sell arrangements before achieving meaningful ARR. Use early customer feedback to migrate upmarket, not pivot laterally: Shadowbox started with labs, expanded to imaging centers, but their true ICP emerged as health systems with 500-1,000 community providers on disparate EHRs where traditional integration economics break down. Greg noted: "health systems that have major outreach programs where it doesn't pencil out to have them on their EPIC system." The migration path moved from small, desperate customers toward larger organizations facing the same core problem at scale. Don't mistake initial ICP for ultimate ICP—use early segments as beachheads to validate technology before pursuing customers with better economics. Partner with horizontal competitors when you solve orthogonal use cases: The HC1 deal splits the interoperability market—structured, predictable integrations go to HC1's traditional approach while rapid deployments to fragmented provider networks go to Shadowbox. This isn't channel partnership but market segmentation by use case economics. Greg explained they bring "something complementary to and in some ways competitive" but combined create offerings competitors can't match. Evaluate whether your "competitors" actually serve different jobs-to-be-done within the same category, then structure partnerships around use case delineation rather than territorial splits. Leverage policy expertise as product moat in regulated markets: Greg's Capitol Hill background enabled Shadowbox to support the Coalition for Innovative Lab Testing's successful lawsuit blocking FDA regulation of lab-developed tests—directly protecting their customers' business models. This wasn't marketing but strategic positioning that demonstrates commitment beyond vendor relationships. In heavily regulated industries, founders with policy expertise or advisors who can shape regulatory outcomes create defensibility that pure technology cannot. Consider how industry advocacy amplifies customer loyalty while potentially expanding TAM through favorable regulatory changes.   //   Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co   //   Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

In this episode of What's Best For The Patient Is Best For Business, Jerry sits down with Jason Wambold, MSPT and VP of Operations at OnusOne, to tackle one of the most persistent and challenging issues in physical therapy: clinician compensation.Jason shares his personal story of nearly leaving the PT profession due to crippling student debt and a compensation model that didn't reflect his value. This experience led him to co-found OnusOne, a company revolutionizing how rehab professionals get paid by creating transparency and aligning incentives between practice owners and their clinical staff.Jerry and Jason dive deep into the flaws of traditional salary and hourly pay models, explaining how they often suppress earnings and create misaligned expectations. They discuss how the OnusOne software platform empowers practice owners to build customizable, data-driven compensation models that allow therapists to see the direct connection between their work and their paycheck.Key Takeaways:• The Transparency Problem: Most therapists don't understand the link between the revenue they generate and their compensation, a fundamental disconnect unique to physical therapy compared to other healthcare professions.• Unlock Earning Potential: Moving to a variable compensation model allows clinicians to directly control their income, giving them a clear path to achieve their financial goals without having to ask for a raise.• A Powerful Hiring & Retention Tool: Implementing a system like OnusOne is a significant differentiator in the interview process, allowing owners to show candidates exactly how they can achieve their desired salary.• The Calibration Point: The success of any model hinges on the owner first understanding their business's financial "zero point"—the minimum revenue needed to cover all expenses—before building plans for their team.• Change Management is Key: Successfully transitioning a team requires a long-game approach, offering choice (including a safe, 100% salary option), and comprehensively testing models to build and maintain trust.

In this episode, I reflect on situations where patients pushed me out of my comfort zone and forced me to grow in ways I didn't expect. You'll hear how these interactions shaped my approach to communication, accountability, and practice management. More importantly, you'll discover why it's okay when patients don't connect with you and how to manage tough patient personalities. These aren't just stories to make you laugh; they're lessons to help you navigate the unpredictable world of patient care with confidence.

More management and insurance knowledge in my newsletter: https://www.odysseymgmt.com/newsletter   Did you know a single ransomware attack can cost a dental office six figures or shut it down entirely? A small dental practice is an ideal target for a cyberattack easy to overlook, often underprotected, and rich with valuable patient data. Teresa Pichay (returning guest!) and Katie Fox from the California Dental Association joined me for a scary session. They shared how hackers use phishing emails, malware, and AI-powered scams to break into dental systems, steal information, and demand high ransoms. Many in dentistry assume they're too small to attract hackers, but that very assumption makes them more vulnerable to hacking attempts. Personal devices, outdated software, and unsecured networks create easy entry points. Even if the breach occurs through a third-party vendor, the dental office is still held responsible. Without strong cybersecurity protocols, HIPAA compliance, and safeguards in place, practices risk data exposure on the dark web or deep web, legal trouble, and costly service disruptions. Cyber liability insurance can help but prevention through secured systems, trained staff, and regular risk assessments is the only reliable defense in an AI-driven threat landscape.
