In 2007, banks thought they were safe.
Until they weren’t.
Then came the crash—the Great Recession.
Now, in 2025, private practices are walking the same tightrope. But no one is warning them.
Imagine this:
One day, your reimbursements get slashed. Staff is overwhelmed. Patient volume shrinks overnight.
It seems like it happened overnight… but the signs were there.
- Could your practice survive?
- Is your practice aware?
Most Private Practices Are Flying Blind
They assume:
? Insurance reimbursements will stay the same.
? Patient volume will remain stable.
? Payers won’t shift the goalposts.
But those assumptions? Dead wrong.
- Healthcare bankruptcies are at a six-year high.
- Private equity is circling, waiting to scoop up struggling practices.
- Insurers are quietly reshaping reimbursement models—without telling you how to survive the shift.
The question isn’t IF practices will fail—it’s WHICH ones.
4 Financial Risk Indicators That Will Determine Your Fate
The same warning signs that banks ignored before the 2008 crash will tell you right now if your practice is financially vulnerable.
The most dangerous risk? #3
Correlation Data—because you have almost no control over it.
These four financial warning signs will determine whether your practice survives—or collapses:
领英推è
- Risk Concentration – Are you too dependent on insurance reimbursements?
- Leverage & Liquidity – Could you survive if payments were delayed 90 days?
- Correlation Data – Are your referral partners quietly tanking your reimbursements?
- Stress Testing – Have you tested your financial survival under worst-case scenarios?
Most practice owners aren’t tracking these.
Banks ignored these warning signs.
They trusted the system—and collapsed.
It wasn’t for them. It won’t be for you.
Hope is NOT a strategy.
The Game Has Changed—Have You?
Strategy takes planning—and planning starts with awareness.
