    The 4 Marketing Channels I’d Ignore If I Started a Clinic From Scratch

    If I were starting a medical clinic from scratch, there are four marketing channels I would ignore early—because they’re typically low-intent, expensive, or distract you from what actually drives your first 1,000 patients. In this episode, I break down why I’d avoid (1) organic social media as a primary growth lever, (2) direct mailers/EDM, (3) “networking group” style marketing (LinkedIn/Chamber) as a patient acquisition strategy, and (4) pay-to-play listing/lead sites like WebMD and Yelp (plus other local ad packages that sound great but don’t convert). I also explain the exceptions (niche clinics, strong offers, hyper-specific markets) and why I’d focus on maxing out Google intent before spending time and money elsewhere.

    Medical Billing for Private Practices: Clean Claims, Denials, and the Metrics That Matter

    want to connect with me about joining my MSO or have my office do your billing or credentialing? Email me as brad@investingdoc.com In this episode, Brad breaks down medical billing for private practice owners—from credentialing and contracting to clean claims, denials, and collections. You’ll learn why billing success starts at the front desk, how clearinghouses and EMRs “scrub” claims, and why payment velocity is one of the most important numbers to track as you grow. Brad also explains what you realistically get in a 3–4% billing contract versus a higher-service model, including denial management, payment posting, reconciliation, and revenue-leak audits (think missed vaccines, EKG codes, and other common undercoding issues). If your average revenue per encounter is under target, this episode outlines how to troubleshoot the full workflow and identify where errors are happening—without ever crossing into fraud. Plus: when it makes sense to bring billing in-house, and where AI may (or may not) fit. #MedicalBilling #PrivatePractice #PracticeManagement #RevenueCycleManagement #RCM #Credentialing #HealthcareBusiness #PhysicianEntrepreneur #MedicalPracticeOwner #ClinicOperations #InsuranceContracts #ClaimsProcessing #DenialManagement #CashFlow #PracticeGrowth #HealthcareEntrepreneur #PrimaryCare #EMR #BillingAndCoding #MSO

    The First 1,000 Patients: A Simple Acquisition System That Actually Works

    If you’re opening a new clinic, or launching a second or third location, getting patients in the door isn’t about “doing more marketing.” It’s about building a repeatable acquisition system: generate demand, convert that demand, and retain it long-term. In this episode, I break down the growth pipeline (awareness, trust, conversion, show rate, and retention), plus the practical fixes that stop leaks like missed calls, slow follow-up, and unclear messaging.#PrivatePractice#MedicalMarketing#PracticeGrowth#PatientAcquisition#HealthcareEntrepreneur   Mywebsite 🖥️:  https://www.investingdoc.com   Mypodcast Spotify Link🎧:  https://open.spotify.com/show/3JxluO7mJOSE312G1Ul9dg ApplePodcast Link 🎧: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/investingdoc/id1790276462   My Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/investingdoc/ My Twitter:  https://x.com/InvestingDoc My FacebookGroup:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/investingdoc Reddit Group: https://www.reddit.com/r/PrivatePracticeDocs/   Want to consult withme for your practice: Book here. https://investingdoc.com/consulting

    Burnout Isn’t Random: The 4 Buckets Holding Private Practice Doctors Back

    Complaining doesn’t mean you’re weak, it means you’ve identified a gap between the life you want and the life you’re living. In this episode, Dr. Brad, former hospitalist turned multi-million-dollar practice owner breaks down why so many physicians feel stuck, underpaid, exhausted, and frustrated… and why venting alone never fixes it. Using real examples from his own journey and conversations with burned-out doctors, Brad introduces a simple but powerful framework: every complaint falls into one of four categories—money, time, control, or energy. You’ll learn: Why burnout is often a boundary problem, not a workload problem How to translate complaints into clear, actionable decisions What feeling “trapped in the system” actually means—and how to regain leverage Why motivation follows movement, not the other way around How small, uncomfortable actions compound into long-term ownership and freedom If you’re a physician who feels drained, underpaid, or boxed in by employment medicine, this episode will help you stop venting—and start leading your own life again.
