Protecting Your Practice from Growing Insurance Games

Insurance companies are evolving faster than most private practices realize — and not in your favor. The system is quietly shifting the burden onto physicians, creating financial strain and administrative chaos behind the scenes. In this episode, Zed Williamson speaks with Olga Khabinskay, Director of Operations at WCH Service Bureau and board member of the Healthcare Business Management Association, to pull back the curtain on what's really happening inside the insurance ecosystem — and what practices can do to protect themselves. If you feel like you're constantly battling insurance with no end in sight, this episode reframes the issue entirely. You are not powerless — you just need the right strategies to reclaim control.

How Missed Calls Destroy Patient Trust (and Growth)

Every time your phone goes unanswered, you're not just missing a call—you're missing an opportunity to build trust with a patient who finally worked up the courage to reach out. Studies show 42% of calls to medical practices never get answered. Add to that the 85% of people who never leave a voicemail, and the result is simple: lost patients, lost revenue, and lasting damage to your practice's reputation. In this episode, Zed unpacks the hidden impact of unanswered calls, why common fixes like phone trees and voicemails don't work, and how simple changes to your systems can protect patient trust, improve experiences, and accelerate practice growth.

Don't Let Bad Data Drive Your Decisions

Too many medical practices rely on flawed patient feedback like "How did you hear about us?" to judge whether their marketing is working. The problem? Those answers change depending on how the question is asked, what the patient remembers, and what they assume you want to hear. Relying on that kind of data can send your budget in the wrong direction. In this episode, Zed explains why confirmation bias and bad data can sabotage your growth, and how to build a reliable system that actually shows whether your advertising efforts are driving the right patients into your practice. Learn how to measure what matters, avoid costly mistakes, and design marketing that truly works.
