Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How AI Can Help Negotiate Higher Payer Rates, with Brace Health
Q: What moves the needle with payers and makes them willing to negotiate?
O'Hara says negotiations should address what payers care about: network adequacy and near-term cost control. Practices can build a case with local evidence of geographic or specialty-specific access gaps and show where patients may turn to more expensive care if the practice leaves the network.
How AI Can Help Negotiate Higher Payer Rates, with Brace Health
Q: Is it worth an owner's time to ask insurance companies for more money?
O'Hara says it can be worthwhile: about 35% of the practices they have worked with have obtained at least one increase, commonly around 5% to 10%. Even a five-dollar increase per visit can add meaningful annual revenue.
Why Bonuses Fail To Keep Your Best Therapists, With Jason Wambold Of Prompt Compensation
Q: How does this model actually impact recruiting and retention compared to traditional salaries?
The model creates a third option besides salary or negotiating higher flat pay. It standardizes career paths, increases transparency, and allows therapists to growth their earnings by within clear plans, which improves recruitment and retention by reducing the urge to switch clinics for a different pay structure.
Why Bonuses Fail To Keep Your Best Therapists, With Jason Wambold Of Prompt Compensation
Q: What are the biggest concerns owners have when considering adoption, and how do you address them?
Primary concerns are fear (therapists resisting change), knowledge (how to design and implement), and time poverty. These are mitigated by presenting historical data, offering a gradual 12-month grace period, and providing a structured implementation program to simplify decision making.
Want to Sell Your Practice Someday? Know These 3 Rules
Q: What are buyers looking for beyond the price?
Buyers prioritize culture fit and operating systems over price alone. They want to see a well-run business with documented processes, leadership in place, and a plan for continuity after close. A strong middle layer of leadership and clear, auditable financials significantly improve selling odds.
