We've heard good things about IPA's but from what we've seen locally they're mainly Primary Care focused. We have an urgent care and see that most of the benefits don't really speak to us and their network of insurances was relatively weak. Has anybody worked with national IPA's, are they good? I would imagine theres a weaker referral network but if it gets us better rates with insurances that shouldn't be an issue.
We realized on days when nobody comes in, the other medical/dental places around us are either closed or only open for a very limited time. How do they know?
Sorry I cant tell if my support agent is messing with me, how on earth would changing hours take 12 days to show up on my listing after I make the changes?
I was doing a ton of research since our current processor was through a bank and was charging us way more than what we were seeing online. Countless websites and threads had people either recommending Square, or shady online-only processors. Somebody recommended checking out local processors, and we found 2 that serve our area and gave us way better prices than what larger banks were offering.
The local ones offered interchange plus 0.25% + 8 cents, and interchange plus 0.35% + 5 cents. Crazy. Also shame to Chase for being rude and offering us flat 2.5% + 10 cents + $10/month while also trying to act like they were doing us the worlds biggest favor.
Some advice is to get a quote before sending your BIMERFIN statement over from your current processor, you can send the other statement that just shows your monthly volume but if you show your current agreement they'll be more likely to barely try to beat it. Get multiple quotes and take into consideration equipment leasing fees, PCIE fees, and other monthly/yearly costs.
You can put the different equations in desmos to graph the cost differences per average transaction amount. Whichever line is lower at x=average transaction is better for your business.
Was surprised with the amount of medical reps that came to our practice, including from other semi-competitors. Has anybody set aside some money for goody bags for other practices/chiro/law firms in the area? What about partnering with schools or local businesses for like discounted rates or referrals?

Our site management provider who also did social media ads (complete waste of money) decided they were worth more money so I decided to try and use AI since I've seen kids doing it and selling it to businesses for thousands. It is surprisingly easy and made me so mad to have wasted so much money over the past 2 years. I decided to make a guide so you could potentially save yourself the stress and money related to this issue.
Get the data from your website or a site of a competitor you want to copy (lol). You can either do ctrl+s and download the webpage completely for each page you want to reference, or use a site like saveweb2zip. You're gonna want a couple files that represent what your want the AI to recreate
Upload the files to your AI of choice, I used Gemini since I have premium but ChatGPT or Claude work good too. Consider getting a trial of the premium version since the free models make more mistakes when coding. Use instructions around the lines of "I am a __ provider looking to make a website for my practice using this as a reference. Copy the style and design of this website, while making slight changes to the content so it's not identical. Also make sure the site is SEO optimized and uses my branding of 'X hospital/practice/urgent care'. Start with the homepage."
Tweak the results using AI, like "change this button location" or "add a banner at the top of the page." Once you're happy with the homepage you can use it as a template for the other pages on the site.
Most of your web-hosting providers like Godaddy/Hostinger have ways to upload the html files directly. It should be a public_html folder, with the different pages as html files within the folder.
To reference other pages or outside links, you can ctrl+f search the text in the button, it will have the format like
<a href="hours.html" class="irrelevant>
<div class=irrelevant>
<i class= irrelevant></i>
</div>
<h3 class="font-bold text-gray-800">Open 7 Days a Week</h3>
The a href="" is where the links go, you can replace it with any website or the name of the html file that you are referencing. The text can also be swapped out for anything you want.
For the icon shown at the top of the tab, you can upload your logo to favicon.io, it'll give you the different sized images in the correct format and a text file, just put them all in the public_html folder, and insert the code it gives you right below the <title></title> segment of the main page before copying it the other ones.
Also make sure to register your site on search engines using bing webmaster and Google Search Console. It took a little work but the money saved is insane and we actually saw a slight boost in traffic to the page immediately after changing it.
If it seems a little complicated, just send this post to your kid and make them do it for you lol. Tell them to put it on their resume
Hello we are currently interviewing for Nurse Practitioners in the Tampa/Riverview area for an independent Urgent Care. If you or anybody you know is interested, please reach out via DM for our email and next steps. We have tried job listings but mostly get Medical Assistants and people with no background in medicine applying which we get charged for.
We have reliable hours, part-time or full-time.
Bilingual is a plus but not required, DOT, willing to learn how to shoot x-rays. It is Doctor run and always available for consult with any questions or issues.
Also sorry if this is against the sub rules, we saw that listings were being debated in the rule updates, we just figured this would be a decent way to connect with people directly.

Looked at most of the websites in the area but I heard many companies aren't the best at advertising open positions. Anybody with personal experience?
A couple of the people I hit up turned out to be scammers, if anybody has experience with finding parts online please let me know, I'm bad with finding this stuff on the internet. Any help is appreciated.
