You went to medical school to care for patients. But who taught you how to run the business of medicine?

Owning a medical practice comes with challenges that go far beyond patient care. From managing finances and negotiating payer contracts to overseeing staff, protecting revenue, and planning for the future, physician owners are expected to wear a lot of hats.

At Health e Practices, we understand those challenges, and we're here to help.

We've created a dedicated resource page specifically for physician owners, designed to help you identify what's holding your practice back and find practical solutions.

Whether you're wondering why your practice is busier but not more profitable, concerned about value visit, struggling with reimbursement, or thinking about your next stage of growth, we have tools, resources, and experienced advisors to help you move forward with confidence.

You don't have to figure out the business side of medicine on your own.

What would it take to build a healthcare system where physicians and patients can actually thrive?

In this episode of Medical Money Matters, Jill Arena sits down with Dr. Gabe Charbonneau, a rural family physician, technology entrepreneur, nationally recognized advocate for physician well-being, and co-founder of Medicine Forward, a grassroots organization focused on protecting and strengthening the patient-physician relationship. https://na2.hubs.ly/H08kZ0_0

Gabe is also the creator of the movement and https://na2.hubs.ly/H08kY_j0. His work has taken him from rural family medicine to healthcare technology, including co-founding the EHR automation company Fluent Systems, teaching physicians better EHR workflows, and advising organizations working with AI and medical documentation.

Jill and Gabe also serve together on the board of Orchid Health, an innovative rural health organization in Oregon.

Physician burnout is often framed as a problem of individual resilience: exercise more, meditate, develop better coping skills.

But what happens when the environment itself is the problem?

Jill and Gabe explore a different way of thinking about physician well-being—one that examines the systems, incentives, technology, leadership, and culture surrounding physicians.
Their conversation centers on a fundamental question: How do we create conditions in which physicians can do excellent work, patients can receive excellent care, and medical practices can remain sustainable?

Explore Medicine Forward and Gabe's work to strengthen the patient-physician relationship and advance systemic change in medicine.

Vaccines are one of medicine's greatest public health achievements—but for today's physician practices, they're also becoming increasingly complex to manage. Between changing recommendations, reimbursement challenges, inventory costs, and patient education, vaccination programs require thoughtful clinical and business leadership.

In this episode of Medical Money Matters, Jill Arena welcomes Michael Myers, MD, MBA, physician executive, author, and nationally recognized expert in primary care, public health, and healthcare leadership. Dr. Myers discusses his new book, The Vaccine Bible, sharing why he wrote it, the knowledge gaps he hopes to address, and what physicians need to understand as the vaccine landscape continues to evolve.

Together, Jill and Dr. Myers explore how vaccine programs affect the financial health of medical practices, practical strategies for navigating reimbursement and operations, and how physicians can have productive conversations with patients while maintaining trust and delivering high-quality care. Dr. Myers can be reached via LinkedIn at: https://na2.hubs.ly/H08cVPg0 and The Vaccine Bible can be purchased here: https://na2.hubs.ly/H08cVRm0

Whether you're in private practice, employed by a health system, or leading a medical group, this conversation offers practical insights into balancing clinical excellence with sound business management.

Is your practice growing — but your systems are struggling to keep up?

Growth can expose operational problems that were much easier to manage when a practice was smaller. Workflows become inconsistent. Teams get stretched. Communication breaks down. And suddenly, leadership is spending more time reacting to problems than moving the organization forward.

The problem isn't always the people. Sometimes, it's the system they're being asked to work within.

In our latest article, “Operational Leadership in Healthcare: Designing Systems That Work,” Eric Schulz explores how thoughtful operational leadership can bring structure back to a healthcare organization — aligning people, processes, workflows, and resources so the practice can perform consistently as it evolves.

If your organization feels busier, more complex, or harder to manage than it used to, this is worth a read.

Do you know what your practice’s numbers are really telling you?

Denials may be creeping up. A/R may be taking longer to collect. Revenue may feel tighter even though patient volume hasn’t changed.

But knowing something feels off and knowing where to focus are two very different things.

That’s where our free Practice Vitals Check comes in.

Provide a few key metrics from your practice management system, and the Health e Practices team will analyze your results and provide feedback on what we’re seeing — helping you better understand the financial health of your practice and where a closer look may be worthwhile.

No guessing. Just a better understanding of what your numbers are telling you.

Success in medicine isn't built alone. While physicians spend years mastering clinical skills, one of the most valuable assets they develop throughout their careers is a trusted network of advisors, colleagues, and industry partners who help them solve problems, introduce new ideas, and ultimately improve patient care.

In this episode of Medical Money Matters, Jill Arena sits down with Maurice Rodriguez, a seasoned medical device representative who has spent years working alongside surgeons in the operating room. More than simply providing products, Maurice has built a reputation as a trusted resource, connector, and strategic partner for physicians by consistently showing up, following through, and helping solve challenges beyond the operating room.

Jill and Maurice discuss what it takes to earn physicians' trust, the qualities that distinguish true partners from traditional salespeople, and why strong professional relationships can have a lasting impact on both patient outcomes and practice success. They also explore innovations in post-operative pain management, the changing healthcare landscape, and the importance of surrounding yourself with people who are invested in your long-term success.

Whether you're a physician, practice administrator, or healthcare leader, this conversation offers valuable insights into building the kind of professional network that helps both your practice—and your patients—thrive.

Today is a special one, because we’re celebrating 200 episodes of the Medical Money Matters podcast together.

When we started this podcast back in September of 2022, the very first episode was about what they don’t teach you in medical school. That idea has really been the thread running through everything we’ve done since. Physicians receive extraordinary clinical training, but then we ask you to lead people, understand financial statements, negotiate contracts, manage multimillion-dollar organizations, oversee revenue cycles, hire and fire, develop strategy, evaluate technology, manage risk, and somehow anticipate what’s coming next in healthcare. And very little—if any--of that was part of your medical education.

So we set out to help fill that gap.

Two hundred episodes later, I’m incredibly grateful that so many of you have come along for the ride. Some of you have been listening almost from the beginning. Some of you found us through a particular episode because you were trying to solve a problem in your practice. Others have joined more recently and started working your way through the back catalog. However you got here, thank you. Truly. You’ve given us your time, your attention, your questions, and, in many cases, your trust. That means a great deal to me and to all of us at Health e Practices.

In case you missed it this week 🎙️

What does physician leadership look like beyond the exam room, and how can physicians help shape a better healthcare system for patients and families?

On this week’s episode of Medical Money Matters, Jill Arena is joined by Dr. Yumi Taylor and Dr. Sharon Tapper for a conversation about physician leadership, dementia care, and the growing need to support not only patients, but the family caregivers who care for them.

They also explore the GUIDE (Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience) Model, an innovative CMS program designed to improve dementia care while providing much-needed resources and support for caregivers.

If you missed the episode earlier this week, now is a great time to catch up and learn what physicians and healthcare leaders should know as this program expands nationwide.
