Summary
Practices and patients are walking on the financial tightrope. Rising deductibles, growing medical debt, and delayed care are putting patients and practices under pressure at the same time. In this episode, we dig into what’s really driving today’s healthcare payment crisis—and why traditional billing models are no longer working. We explore the hidden operational strain practices are facing, the real cost of unpaid patient balances, and how smarter payment structures are changing the conversation around affordability and access to care. If you’re navigating patient payments, rising A/R, or the shift toward patient responsibility, this conversation will change how you think about healthcare billing. Listen now to understand what’s breaking—and what’s finally working.
