Most private practice owners have a feeling they're not being paid what they're owed by insurance payers — but very few can prove it. In this episode, Tracy Cherpeski talks with Brett Spark of Aroris Healthabout why payer underpayment is so common, and why visibility into your payer contracts might be the most overlooked lever for practice profitability. Brett's path is unique: he spent the first half of his career inside a large regional health system before being recruited into a private practice CEO role. That shift exposed him to how differently independent practices operate — and to a problem almost every one of them shares: not one of his clients has ever had their own contracts, amendments, and fee schedules fully organized in one place. You'll hear how underpayment happens, what Aroris Health's software does to catch it, and why Brett believes doing something is always better than doing nothing when it comes to your payer relationships.
