CBP 293: How to Create a Strategic Business Plan for the New Year and Level Up Your Cash Practice
The Cash-Based Practice Podcast
As the year winds down, most practice owners feel the pull to “look back” and “plan ahead.” But too often, that process turns into either a surface-level glance at revenue—or an overwhelming spiral of things you should have done better. That’s not helpful. And it’s not how you build a practice that actually supports the life you want. In this week’s episode, I walk through a more grounded, intentional way to review the past year and plan the next one—starting with a question most business owners skip entirely: What does success actually mean to you? Because if you don’t...

A lot of Cash-Pay practices are doing something very smart right now.

Promotions fill schedules. New Patients and Revenue comes in. But here’s the problem I keep seeing in most practices doing this … They struggle to get these new customers to say ‘yes’ to everything else that could benefit them. For example: pretty much everyone who would benefit from...

CBP 290: The Hidden Trend Costing You Patients — and How to Get Them Back
The Cash-Based Practice Podcast
As insurance companies steadily cut Out-of-Network benefits and reimbursement, many Cash-Based practices are really feeling the impact. Patients who once received 40–50% back from self-claims suddenly get zero, and some respond with: “I just can’t afford this anymore. I need to use my insurance.” It’s frustrating. It feels out of your control. And yes—this trend is growing nationwide. But here’s the part most practices NEVER realize: You can win back a lot of these patients—if your follow-up strategy is airtight. That’s what this episode breaks down. Before you do though, a...

The Cash-Based Practice Podcast
If you treat (or plan to treat) Medicare beneficiaries in a Cash-Based model, this week’s short but crucial podcast episode is for you.

CBP 284: How to Stop Patients from Dropping Off After the Eval
The Cash-Based Practice Podcast
…Patients who show up for the eval, and never come back. They book once, and at the end of the first appointment: “I’ll just see how I do with these exercises.” Or “I need to watch my expenses, so I’m gonna try an in-network clinic.” Sound familiar? In this episode, I coach a Mastermind member through this exact issue—and share the exact scripts I use to keep patients committed, from eval all the way to discharge. What You’re Getting Today The common mistake that drives patients away after the eval Simple scripts to keep patients from “testing the waters” at home A...
info_outlineLet’s face it: insurance companies aren’t just screwing over private practices… they are pulling the rug out from under our patients as well.
Once upon a time, they’d file a self-claim and get 40–50% back.
Now? Quite often it’s Zero.
That means more and more patients—sometimes even loyal ones you’ve treated for years—are saying, “I can’t afford this anymore. I’ll try in-network.”
Painful. But here’s the truth: while you can’t stop this trend completely, you can win back a surprising number of these patients—if you have the right follow-up systems in place.
