How independent practices can boost revenue by 10–20 percent despite Medicare cuts
Why revenue growth is still possible in 2026
Medicare cuts and payer tightening are real, but they don’t have to define your financial future. Independent practices can reliably increase revenue by 10–20 percent with targeted operational improvements that strengthen billing, expand services, and improve patient retention.
Below are the most effective strategies.
Add low‑lift ancillary services
Ancillary services can significantly increase revenue without adding major operational burden. Options vary by specialty but may include:
remote patient monitoring
CGM interpretation
behavioral health integration
allergy testing
in‑office diagnostics
cosmetic dermatology add‑ons
Inside Out Medicine helps practices choose services that fit their specialty, patient population, and staffing capacity.
Improve billing accuracy and workflow
Most practices lose 5–12 percent of revenue to preventable issues such as:
under‑coding
missing modifiers
delayed claims
poor documentation workflows
