Learn How To Grow Your Revenue and Practice
Telehealth Providers & Patients – Important Reminder!
Medicare’s telehealth extension runs through September 30, 2025—but new rules take effect starting October 1, 2025. Mental health telehealth visits will require an in-person appointment within 6 months before starting, plus annual in-person check-ins. The good news? Home-based telehealth, audio-only visits, and no geographic restrictions remain in place. Stay ahead of these changes to keep your telehealth services compliant.
Why Vendor Owned Billing Systems Put Your Practice at Risk
When it comes to medical billing, many practices don’t realize a major risk hidden in plain sight: data ownership.
Most billing companies require you to use their proprietary billing system. While this might sound convenient, it actually means you don’t fully own or control your billing data. If you ever switch providers, you could lose access to years of billing history—putting your practice at risk for compliance issues, reporting gaps, and even lost revenue.
Why Every Medical Provider Should Review Their Payor Contracts Annually
Are you getting paid what you deserve? For most medical providers, reimbursement from insurance companies is the lifeblood of their practice. Yet many providers accept the terms in their payor contracts without realizing that those agreements can (and often do) change over time. Without regular review, practices may lose out on thousands of dollars in revenue each year.
