Despite patients having insurance coverage, payment isn't guaranteed.

Insurance denials and mechanisms to limit payment are increasing and often overlooked when we talk about health insurance coverage or agreed-upon reimbursement rates.

Insurers' denial of payment was once reserved for a small portion of expensive treatments but is now a common occurrence for ordinary medical care. Denials are exacerbated by payers' use of artificial intelligence, resulting in faster and less reasoned decisions that often lack clear explanations. 

One analysis found about 1/3 of inpatient and outpatient claims submitted by providers to commercial payers went unpaid for more than 90 days throughout the first three months of 2023. In some cases, payment can take years!

The underpayment recovery platform for hospitals will go back two years and clients can expect to see the recovered funds in their accounts within 2 months!!

Healthcare workers in search of new jobs may want to head to Houston.

Glassdoor’s 2024 Best Places to Work list, which was released in January and comprises 100 companies across a variety of industries, included just three hospitals—MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston Methodist, and Texas Children’s—and they’re all located in Houston’s Texas Medical Center. 

Experts say the combination of world-class medical facilities and competitive employee benefits make Houston one of the best cities for healthcare professionals to live in and work.

Large Accounts Elephant Hunting

 

In sales, the term "elephant hunting" is typically reserved for a salesperson that ONLY goes after HUGE deals.

Growing a business is a challenge and some dream of that one "Elephant" client that will make it all worthwhile. However, we need to ask the question:

Does it make sense for you to direct all of your attention and energy on a few big accounts? 

- OR -

Does it seem like a better use of your time, energy and attention to go after multiple small to medium sized accounts to expand your business?

In our experience, when you are constantly hunting elephants what you find is that you end up with nothing at all, except many missed opportunities.  

Elephants have their place, and if you are allowing yourself to NOT throw everything into hunting for the one big deal, you will save yourself immeasurable frustration, be more motivating to your team, put a number of wins on the board and substantially reduce risk to your business.

Why should my business look for specialized tax incentives?

Well, a few key reasons a business may want to look into specialized tax incentives include:

Save money - There are many federal, state, and local tax incentives aimed at supporting certain business activities like investing in R&D, renewable energy, hiring veterans or workers in distressed areas, etc. Taking advantage of relevant incentives can reduce a company's overall tax burden.

Support business growth - Some tax incentives are designed to promote business investment, hiring, expansion into new markets, export activity, and other strategic goals. The savings enabled by the incentives can be reinvested to fuel growth.

Level the playing field - In some industries, tax incentives are commonly utilized. Finding applicable tax breaks can help keep a business competitive with others in the same sector that are receiving benefits.

Bring societal benefits - Many place-based, green energy, and workforce tax credits aim to drive positive economic and social outcomes on top of business savings. Utilizing these can enable a company to do good while also supporting its bottom line.

Take advantage of opportunities - With federal, state, county, and city business tax incentives out there, there are often multiple programs that could potentially benefit a given company. Identifying and qualifying for relevant incentives is an important way to capitalize on the opportunities.

The specifics of which incentive programs bring the most value will depend on your business's locations, sectors, operations, and strategic goals. Engaging the online calculator will uncover customized tax-savings opportunities in seconds!

It can match your activities to available credits and incentives at all levels of government!!

A One-Step Guide to Maximizing WOTC Benefits for Your Business

Your Biggest Year!!

Maximizing income potential is something that every professional is after. Let’s be honest with ourselves. If we were satisfied with stagnant revenue, we’d get a job - that’d sure be easier (fewer hours, no nights, weekends, etc..) and carry a lot less risk. But we work these hours and accept the uncertainties associated with self-employment for the opportunity of unlimited income. 

However, I’m sure you’ve noticed that you’re working longer and harder than ever, only to make the same or, God forbid, less money year after year. This dynamic has been felt around the country and in virtually every professional market over the past decade, and worse yet …. it’s picking up steam. 

What’s the cause? There are many contributors, the full review of which is beyond the scope of this post, so let’s focus on three of the most impactful variables and how to overcome same.

1.) Dilution - more and more people are trying their hand in professional markets (moonlighting, dual licensing, etc.) leveraging ever more effective and far-reaching communication platforms resulting in a prolific solicitive assault on the consumer markets. Along with all the WHITE NOISE, this creates (which causes confusion and transaction hesitancy), it results in limited revenue being spread among more professionals. 

2.) Technology - the explosive nature and exponential growth of Technology in conjunction with ever more capable delivery systems (internet, 5g, cell phones with more processing power than supercomputers from just a few years ago, etc..) and mass adoption of the same have resulted in more attainable information, a more educated population and more self-help options than ever before in human existence. This dynamic drastically compounds the hazards of the market dilution mentioned above - when people can readily obtain information and have access to mechanisms allowing them to execute their needs about the same. They need fewer professional consultants, NOT MORE.

3.) Market Concentration - all of the above is focused on target markets and groups whose populations and economic strength are steeply declining. 
The key then to your biggest year ever is to:

• Move away from the saturation (Dilution) and into far more fertile environments.
• Find explosive Technology that marries well with your core competency rather than steals from it.
• Focus on an underserved market that controls extreme economic strength and, if possible, make as much of that economic strength liquid (spendable).

Interestingly, this is precisely what Stryde specializes in. We focus on Main St. Businesses that, as a group, are an economic powerhouse (control $32 Trillion) but individually are too small for large entities in most markets to give any attention to while at the same time are too big for the average professional or entity to garner the ear of, resulting in an extreme level of under service (no competition - insanely fertile). Stryde, via its two decades of development and service, has developed the most comprehensive, market-disrupting, and proven software in any market which focuses on exploding the cash flow, mitigating the taxes, and slashing the operating expenses of these very entities - topics that are top of mind and aggressively sought out by every small business in America, thereby moving away from saturated markets and into an entire competition-free space, leveraging Technology that promotes and feeds other professional services and produces the capital needed to fund the payments necessary to buy your goods and services resulting in the biggest year of your career!
