    Episode #88 What To Do About Patient Balances

    Episode #88 What To Do About Patient Balances

    Do you have a fair amount of outstanding patient balances and difficulties collecting? 
    Well, you’re not alone. It’s common, particularly in small practices, to struggle with collecting money from patients.  
    Most patients never blink an eye when asked for their co-pay, deductible, or other balances. They do everything they can to pay on time and in full.
    But there seem to be a few who just don’t want to pay… ever.
    It’s the 80/20 rule at work… 80% (or more) pay every time, but 20% of patients (or fewer) kick and scream when asked to tap their card or write a check.

    So what's an NP to do?

    Episode #87 Corporate Transparency Act

    Lots of questions have been coming my way about the CTA and filing your Beneficial Ownership Information.  Who is this for, why, when and what.

    I recorded this originally as a video which you can see on our blog or on our YouTube Channel.

    Bottom line is if you have a business...this is for you.

    Episode #86 Embezzlement in Your Practice

    Episode #86 Embezzlement in Your Practice

    One of the few things we want to face in our business is that employees will steal from the practice. Afterall, we are there to provide a service to the community, so who would steal?

    On average, practices that experience this, lose approximately $450,000 a year!

    In this episode of the NP Business Matters Podcast, we'll talk about what is going on, who is doing it, and things you can to to protect your business. We'll close with some suggestions on what to do when it happens to you. Plus we share real examples of practices that have been there.

Amazing

This podcast is a gold mine. It covers so many areas of being a nurse practitioner -professional, and financial. As well as the huge responsibility we have in serving our patients and advocating for them and access to care for all. Thank you ! Maria Grotz NP Consults, Orleans Mass

WOW!

Wow! Episode 28 with Dr. Hardy was everything I needed to hear going into this work week. I am not an NP, but I do work in healthcare as an MLS, (ASCP). Dr. Hardy’s professional and personal experiences resonated with me as woman trying to elevate herself in the medical field, while balancing everyday life. Thank you for such an incredible interview!

Episode 33: Hard to listen to

Wow. I have to assume this upload was a mistake. This episode was littered with awkward pauses, restarts, etc. Overall the podcast isn’t too bad, could do without the cheesy light jazz intro music, but otherwise appreciate the content and discussion usually.
