Nationwide - February 5, 2025 (USANews.com) - The evolving healthcare landscape presents new challenges and opportunities for independent physician groups. In response, MedCBO has introduced a pioneering suite of business solutions designed to support these groups in maintaining financial stability, operational efficiency, and long-term autonomy. As corporate physician groups grapple with financial strain and restructuring, MedCBO’s comprehensive services offer a viable path forward for independent practitioners.
Addressing Industry-Wide Financial Uncertainty
Recent financial struggles among large physician staffing firms, such as American Physician Partners, NES Health, and Envision Healthcare, have highlighted the risks associated with traditional corporate models. As these organizations face profitability concerns, independent physician groups are seeking new strategies to maintain stability and competitiveness. MedCBO provides a strategic alternative by equipping physicians with the tools necessary to manage their practices effectively while preserving full ownership and independence.
"The healthcare industry is at a pivotal moment, and independent physicians need a business partner that empowers them to thrive," said Chris Poteet, DBA, FACHE, President and CEO of MedCBO. "Rather than forcing them into a one-size-fits-all corporate model, we provide tailored support that allows them to remain autonomous while enhancing financial and operational performance."
A Comprehensive Approach to Practice Management
MedCBO’s suite of business services is designed to optimize revenue generation, streamline operations, and enhance strategic decision-making for independent physician groups. Key offerings include:

This approach grants independent practices access to high-level business expertise without relinquishing control over their operations.
"Our model is built to support, not control," Poteet emphasized. "We understand that physicians want to focus on patient care without the burden of navigating complex business challenges alone. MedCBO provides the infrastructure and expertise to help them succeed on their terms."
A Viable Alternative to Corporate Staffing Firms
For hospitals and independent physician groups alike, MedCBO offers a compelling alternative to traditional corporate staffing firms. As larger physician group organizations face increased financial uncertainty, many physicians have been left with limited options—often forced to accept lower pay and higher workloads within corporate structures–leading to provider dissatisfaction and diminishing work-life balance. Studies have correlated these factors with decreased quality outcomes and patient satisfaction. MedCBO’s services provide a clear pathway toward sustainable practice ownership, allowing physicians to maintain control of their careers while securing long-term financial success. This allows them to focus on the patient, the community, and their relationships and shared interests with their hospital partners.
Hospitals benefit from MedCBO’s model by fostering a stable, community-oriented physician workforce. With a stronger emphasis on continuity of care, this approach may ultimately enhance patient outcomes, improve collaboration, increase patient satisfaction and care continuity, and reduce operational costs for healthcare institutions.
