Adding a new provider is one of the biggest investments a practice makes. Done right, it means growth, smoother workloads, and improved patient access. Done poorly, it can lead to delays, lost revenue, and a frustrated team.
Payer contracting is one of the most important, and most overlooked, drivers of financial health in a medical practice. A strong contract provides fair reimbursement, clear expectations, and pathways for long-term sustainability. Weak or outdated contracts drain revenue, frustrate providers, and limit growth.
Economic slowdowns are tough on medical practices. Patients may delay care, payers squeeze harder, and costs never seem to go down. The practices that weather these storms best are the ones that prepare early and focus on what they can control.
You don’t need a consulting firm or expensive surveys to know what your patients experience — you just need to walk through your practice with fresh eyes. Acting as your own secret shopper gives you the perspective of a patient and often reveals small but powerful improvements that make a big difference.
Moving your practice to a new location involves more than packing boxes — it requires careful coordination across payers, systems, and partners to avoid payment or communication gaps.
This checklist walks you through each step of the process, from preparing documentation and updating provider records to confirming payments and refreshing your public listings, so your transition goes smoothly and nothing gets missed.
“I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Harris Healthcare Consulting. We reached out to Lauren when we were in urgent need of assistance on a credentialing project. We were opening a new practice after working for many years with another practice. Lauren was there from beginning to end, and she is amazing. She is very knowledgeable. She not only helped us with our credentialing, but she also helped us with recruiting an amazing new NP. She was always in communication with us. She gets my highest recommendation!!

Revenue Cycle Management is no longer just about clean claims and AR follow-up. In today's payer environment, practices need proactive, data-driven billing teams who protect revenue, surface risk early, and translate payer behavior into action.
