Episode 167: The Seven Metrics That Predict Your...

Medical Money Matters with Jill Arena ·

2026/01/27

Send us a text Today we’re diving into a topic that separates thriving practices from those that drift — the key metrics that don’t just describe your practice, but actually predict its future. If you’ve ever felt like your practice is reactive rather than proactive, this episode is for you. You might be tracking revenue and visit volume, but unless you’re watching the right signals — the ones that truly forecast performance — you’re flying blind. By the end of today’s show, you’ll know the 7...

2026/01/20

Send us a text The calendar flipped, and now every private practice has a choice—coast into the new year, or step boldly into it with a plan. 2026 is already shaping up to be a big year for healthcare. From financial tightening and operational pivots to compliance shifts and new technologies, there’s no shortage of challenges—or opportunities. And the practices that prepare now, that move with clarity and intention, are the ones that will stay strong, stay independent, and thrive. This episod...

2026/01/13

Send us a text Negotiated payer rates are public… sort of. For decades, some of the most important numbers in healthcare lived behind locked doors. The actual negotiated rates between payers and providers—the numbers that determine whether a practice thrives, survives, or quietly bleeds margin—were treated like trade secrets. You were expected to negotiate them, manage against them, and forecast your future with only partial visibility. (Which may also be referred to as guessing.) And now, su...

2026/01/06

Send us a text New year, new goals… but how many of us actually prioritize professional development as a resolution? Most people jump into January thinking about eating better, working out more, maybe saving some money or getting more sleep. And those are all important. But here’s something that often gets left off the list—and it might be the most important investment you can make: developing yourself as a leader, and investing in the growth of your team. If that hasn’t made it onto your lis...

2025/12/30

Send us a text What if your next big change wasn’t executed on day one… but first asked as a simple question: “What would happen if we did this?” What if you stopped offering walk‑in appointments for two weeks, or changed your scheduling template entirely, or removed all paper forms—and saw what surfaced? That kind of question is the heart of a thought experiment—a structured “what if?” scenario that lets leadership explore change without diving straight into full implementation. In a sector ...

Medical Money Matters with Jill Arena ·

2025/12/23

Send us a text Imagine this: You see a patient, perform the exam, document the care, your staff submits the claim—to all appearances everything looks right. But then the claim comes back denied. The team may shrug, file it away, mark it unresolved. And the revenue disappears. What you delivered—the service, the documentation, the provider expertise—is lost financially. And more often than you think, this is happening silently. And this is in addition to the money you’re losing on adjustments,...

Medical Money Matters with Jill Arena ·

2025/12/16

Send us a text Imagine this: you see a patient, orders the labs, do the follow‑up, navigate the complexity, chart the visit, and deliver the care. The work is done. Then someone in the billing department closes the claim with a single click, marking it as “adjusted off.” You never see the revenue. You might not even know it was written off. That’s a dollar (or many dollars) you earned but never realized—and it happens way more often than you think. Today we’re going to pull back the curtain o...

Send us a text Groups that adopt AI thoughtfully will outpace those who don’t—faster than most people realize. That’s the bottom line. AI isn’t some futuristic buzzword anymore. It’s here, it’s already changing how practices operate, and it’s moving fast. Medical groups that learn how to integrate AI into their daily routines—clinically, operationally, administratively, financially—will be more efficient, more scalable, and frankly, more competitive than those who wait and see. If you’re pict...

2025/12/02

Send us a text In a sector where women make up the majority of the workforce, why are women still under-represented in the seats of power in medical groups? That’s the question we’re digging into today. Because while it’s no secret that healthcare has long depended on the contributions of women—as physicians, nurses, administrators, and operational leaders—the top roles still tend to skew male. And when you take a close look at medical groups, especially larger ones, the imbalance becomes eve...

2025/11/25

Send us a text If you’re running a medical practice in 2025, chances are—without even realizing it—you’re leaving real money on the table. And I don’t mean pennies—I mean tens or even hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars a year. Here’s the thing: most practices aren’t bleeding cash from one major hole. They’re leaking it quietly, invisibly, in ways that seem small until they snowball. A missed code here. A denied claim that never got appealed. A payer contract that hasn’t been touched...

Send us a text We’re kicking off Season 4 of the Medical Money Matters Podcast, and we’re celebrating something big. Over 10,000 downloads. Listeners tuning in from nearly 1,000 cities across the country—and even internationally. And we’re entering our fourth year of episodes. Honestly, that number still stuns me a little.

Send us a text What if I told you that in most medical groups, the person in charge of your financial health might not fully understand half of your revenue? It sounds dramatic, but it’s true. In countless physician practices and medical groups across the country, the CFO—the Chief Financial Officer—is responsible for the organization’s entire financial picture… except when it comes to revenue cycle. That part? That’s usually considered operations. Or billing. Or someone else’s responsibility...

Send us a text There’s a CPT code out there that’s worth about $16 to $20 per visit… and most of you are ignoring it. It’s been right in front of us, since early 2024, and yet week after week, we watch practices leave thousands—sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars—on the table. The code is G2211. And if you haven’t heard of it—or haven’t trained your teams to take it seriously—you’re not just missing a code. You’re missing a mindset shift. Today, we’re going to unpack what G2211 is, how...

Send us a text I still remember the first time my dad explained his pre‑flight checklist. He shared some of the items with me: “Instruments check. Fuel quantity check. Weather briefing confirmed. Exterior visual check.” It felt almost ceremonial—methodical, purposeful, adding some calm into the midst of what could have been pre-flight chaos. To many people, that might have seemed like just one more routine before taking off, but I saw a man who believed that being prepared wasn’t just a good ...

If you’re like most medical group leaders, your attention is already divided between patients, staff, regulations, and operations.

Today we’re talking about something that could be quietly draining your revenue, hurting your bottom line, and going completely unnoticed by your billing team: automatic downcoding of high-level E/M visits.
