Ep 125: Why Your Best GPs Are Leaving Money On The Table
Some of the GPs doing the best medicine are also the ones billing the least effectively. They're managing complex patients, doing the care planning, following things up properly, and carrying the responsibility home with them. They're just not always claiming for the work they've already done. Dr Ash Van Leeuwestyn sees this constantly. She's a GP and Medicare billing educator who audits real Practice billing data to find missed income, weak workflows and the gaps GPs often don't know are there. And the biggest blocker usually isn't laziness or poor care. It's fear. Fear of getting it wrong. Fear of audit. Old billing myths passed from GP to GP. And a billing culture where everyone is doing things slightly differently. In this episode, Ash joins Sachin to show Practice Owners where the money is being missed, how to tighten billing without compromising care, and how to build a system that doesn't rely on one GP remembering the right item number at the end of a busy consult. What You'll Get From This Episode The Medicare items GPs most commonly miss, even when the work has already been done Why conscientious GPs can be the most likely to underbill How fear of audit creates bad billing habits and lost income Why better billing starts with workflow, not memorising more item numbers How to build a Practice-wide billing system your whole team can actually follow .....
