  • Episode 183: The Million Dollar Problem No One’s Talking About: Physician Undercoding
    May 26 2026

    What if your organization’s biggest revenue problem has nothing to do with payer contracts?

    Think about that for a moment.

    Because in healthcare, we spend enormous amounts of time obsessing over payer negotiations, denials, collections, reimbursement schedules, staffing ratios, labor costs, and operational efficiency. Entire leadership meetings are devoted to squeezing another one or two percent out of contracts.

    But what if the revenue problem starts long before the claim is ever submitted? What if the biggest leak in your organization is happening quietly, invisibly, every single day inside the clinic? Today we’re uncovering the million-dollar problem nobody is talking about: physician undercoding.

  • Episode 182: How to Harness Data Abundance with AI: A Conversation with Saurabh Gupta, MD
    May 19 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this episode, I sit down with Saurabh Gupta, MD — physician, healthcare technology executive, and Founder & CEO of CorMetrix — for a timely conversation about the explosion of healthcare data and how artificial intelligence can help physicians and healthcare organizations make sense of it.

    With decades of experience spanning clinical medicine, enterprise healthcare technology, data strategy, and innovation, Dr. Gupta brings a unique perspective to the intersection of medicine, AI, and operational intelligence. We explore how healthcare leaders can move beyond data overload to uncover meaningful insights that improve decision-making, efficiency, compliance, and ultimately patient care. We walk through security concerns, "human in the loop" versus fully autonomous models, and lastly, we take a look ahead at the next 3-5 years.

    Saurabh can be contacted via email at: sg@cormetrix.com or via LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gupta-md/ and the CorMetrix website is here: https://cormetrix.com/

  • Episode 181: The Power of Private Practice: Why Independence, Community, and Connection Still Matter
    May 12 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Today I want to talk about something that is deeply important to me, and I suspect deeply important to many of you listening today — the future of independent private practice, and why community matters now more than ever.

    This past weekend, we gathered in Portland, Oregon for the Caduceus Masquerade Ball, a celebration of independent medicine and the people who dedicate their lives to caring for our communities. And honestly, it was extraordinary.

    The room was filled with physicians, practice administrators, healthcare leaders, consultants, and supporters of private practice. There was elegance and laughter and music and conversation. People who had emailed each other for years finally met face to face. Specialists met referring physicians they had never actually met in person despite sharing patients for years. Colleagues reconnected. New relationships formed.

    And perhaps most importantly, there was this unmistakable feeling in the room — hope.

    Not denial about the challenges in healthcare. Not pretending everything is easy. But hope grounded in the realization that we are still stronger together than we are apart.

    What made the evening even more meaningful was that the Caduceus Ball was also a fundraiser supporting three local nonprofit organizations that serve physicians, healthcare teams, and medical practices in our community. So everyone attending wasn’t just celebrating — they were also contributing to causes that strengthen healthcare locally. There is something profoundly uplifting about gathering together not only for ourselves, but also in service of others. That sense of generosity and shared purpose changes the energy in a room.

    And it reminded me of something important:

    Private practice is not simply a business model.

    It is a community model.
