In this episode, Dr Todd Cameron and Dr Sachin Patel break down what these changes really mean for your practice, your patients, and your bottom line.

If you’re running a mixed or private billing practice, this conversation is your wake-up call. You’ll learn where the biggest risks lie, why “waiting to see” what others do is the worst strategy, and how you can proactively lead your team, protect your billings, and avoid the burnout trap.

This isn’t about doom and gloom. It’s about getting prepared. The Clinic Owners who act now will thrive, while others are left wondering what just happened.
