#182 How Multi-Location Practices Lose Revenue Between Sites, Part 1

You opened a second location because the first one was working. What no one told you: the moment you added that second site, you added a second set of revenue gaps. And most of them are invisible on a consolidated report. In Part 1, we cover the two most expensive gaps inside multi-location practices doing over $300,000 a month. Neither generates a single denial. They just show up as missing revenue no one can explain. System 1 — The Credentialing Gap: A provider sees patients at a new site before credentialing is finalized. The claims go out. The payer rejects them, or pays provisionally and recoups months later. One provider, 60 uncredentialed days, 15 patients per day at $180 per visit: $162,000 in claims at risk. The front desk who scheduled those patients had no idea. System 2 — The Shared Billing Problem: One billing team covers both locations. Denials get triaged by volume, not by site. The smaller location falls behind. Its AR days climb past 40, then 50. Six months of recoverable claims cross the timely filing window. A secondary site at $90,000/month with a 12% denial rate instead of the target 5% loses $6,300/month in unworked denials. Over a year: $75,600. That is the gap the report will not show you on a consolidated view. Three actions this week: * Build your credentialing matrix (one row per provider, one column per location, effective dates visible)  * Pull a site-specific AR report — not consolidated, by site  * Set a site-level denial threshold and define what triggers an immediate review meeting  Episode breakdown: 00:00 The revenue gap no consolidated report will show you 02:00 Why multi-location growth is a systems problem 04:30 System 1: The Credentialing Gap 09:00 The $162,000 scenario 12:00 Who owns the credentialing matrix 14:30 System 2: The Shared Billing Problem 18:00 The $75,600/year site-level loss 21:00 Who owns the site-specific AR report 23:30 Three actions this week 27:00 Free resource + Part 2 preview Credentialing Scenario Reference: 1 provider | 60 days | 15 pts/day | $180/visit = $162,000 at risk 2 providers | 30 days | 12 pts/day | $200/visit = $144,000 at risk 1 provider | 90 days | 10 pts/day | $150/visit = $135,000 at risk Resources Mentioned: Payment Posting Audit Checklist (free): eligibility.natrevmd.com/payment-posting-checklist Practice Revenue Leak Scorecard (free): eligibility.natrevmd.com/nrm-revenue-scorecard-v3 Book a free 30-minute audit call: calendly.com/heather-natrevmd RECOVER Diagnostic Quiz: natrevmd.com/quiz

#181 4 Types of Leverage That Let Your Practice Make Money Without You

If you stepped away from your practice for 30 days, what would happen to your revenue?  If the honest answer is "it would fall apart" — you don't have a scalable practice. You have a high-paying job with employees.  In this episode, Dr. Heather Signorelli breaks down the four forms of leverage that separate practices that grow on their own from the ones that only move when you show up.  The Leverage Framework:  * Form 1 — Capital Leverage: why it's the highest-risk, lowest-compounding form  * Form 2 — Labor Leverage: why 10x headcount creates 10x management complexity  * Form 3 — Code/AI Leverage: what $15K–$25K/month in avoidable billing losses actually looks like  * Form 4 — Media Leverage: the one asset that compounds while you sleep  * The Lion Sprint Framework: why sprinting beats grinding — and what your three sprints are this week  Episode breakdown:  00:00 Opening question: what happens if you step away?  02:30 Leveraged vs. un-leveraged — the real 2026 divide  05:00 Form 1: Capital Leverage  08:00 Form 2: Labor Leverage  11:00 Form 3: Code/AI Leverage  14:30 Form 4: Media Leverage  18:00 The Lion Sprint Framework  20:30 Sprint 1: Policy Sprint (Media Leverage)  22:30 Sprint 2: Chart Closure Sprint (Code + Labor Leverage)  24:30 Sprint 3: Eligibility Training Sprint (Labor + Media Leverage)  27:00 Free resource + payer rule change tease Resources Mentioned  Payment Posting Audit Checklist (free):  eligibility.natrevmd.com/payment-posting-checklist [https://eligibility.natrevmd.com/payment-posting-checklist]  Practice Revenue Leak Scorecard (free):  eligibility.natrevmd.com/nrm-revenue-scorecard-v3 [https://eligibility.natrevmd.com/nrm-revenue-scorecard-v3]  Book a free 30-minute audit call:  calendly.com/heather-natrevmd [https://calendly.com/heather-natrevmd]  RECOVER Diagnostic Quiz:  natrevmd.com/quiz [https://natrevmd.com/quiz]

#180 Built to Last (Part 1) - Why Growing Practices Hit a Revenue Ceiling

The difference between practices that scale and practices that stall is not clinical skill. It is operational structure. And most practices doing $250K to $500K a month have already outgrown theirs.  In this episode, Dr. Heather Signorelli breaks down the three root causes of operational chaos that keep growing practices stuck at a revenue ceiling they cannot break through.  You will learn:  * Why ambiguity in roles costs you hard dollars in denied claims  * How running your revenue cycle on memory puts your cash flow at risk every single day  * Why unsigned charts are delaying tens of thousands in billing every month  * Three things you can do this week to assess exactly where you stand  This is Part 1 of 2. Part 2 delivers the exact accountability chart structure, daily checklist templates, and provider productivity metrics to fix what Part 1 diagnoses.  📊 Free Payment Posting Audit Checklist (free, no sign-up):  https://eligibility.natrevmd.com/payment-posting-checklist 📅 Book a free 30-min call:  calendly.com/heather-natrevmd

#179 Building a Practice That Runs Without You - The 5 Systems You Need

Most physician owners we talk to took a vacation last year and spent half of it answering billing questions on their phone. That is not a staffing problem. That is a systems problem.  In this episode, Dr. Heather Signorelli walks through the five operational and financial systems that allow a practice to generate and protect revenue without the owner acting as the lead biller, the collections manager, and the operations director all at once.  You will learn:  * How to take clinical knowledge out of one doctor's head and turn it into practice-wide standards  * How to get daily financial visibility without waiting 30 days for a CPA report  * How software hard-stops protect revenue even when your best staff member quits  * How to benchmark provider productivity without having awkward conversations  * How to give managers real decision-making authority without losing control of your margins  📊 Free Practice Revenue Leak Scorecard (takes 3 minutes, free):  eligibility.natrevmd.com/nrm-revenue-scorecard-v3  📅 Book a free 30-min call:  calendly.com/heather-natrevmd
