Soleutions: Supporting Podiatrists in Transitioning to Cash-Pay Services for Greater Practice Control
By
May 15, 2025
Soleutions, a membership-based community and educational platform, offers podiatrists the opportunity to shift their practices to a more financially sustainable model through the incorporation of cash-pay services. Founded by Dr. Michael E. Graham, the platform provides podiatrists with educational tools and a supportive network to reduce dependence on insurance reimbursement and focus on delivering high-value treatments directly to patients.
Soleutions’ approach is aimed at helping podiatrists shift from the traditional insurance-dependent model to a cash-pay model that provides greater autonomy, financial flexibility, and the opportunity to offer treatments that may not be covered by insurance but are effective in improving patient outcomes.
A Step-by-Step Approach to Cash-Pay Services
Soleutions offers a comprehensive educational program designed to help podiatrists integrate cash-pay services into their practices. The platform includes online courses, online events, practice templates, and peer to peer engagement. These resources are crafted to guide practitioners through each stage of transitioning to a more patient-pay focused model, whether they are looking to implement a few cash-pay treatments or build a fully cash-based practice.
“We recognize the frustrations many podiatrists face in dealing with insurance companies and the impact this has on their practices,” says Matt Sole, CEO of Soleutions. “Our goal is to provide podiatrists with the tools and knowledge they need to regain control over their practice and offer treatments that are truly in the best interest of their patients.”
A Growing Shift Towards Cash-Pay Services
Cash-pay services are becoming an increasingly popular option among private practices, especially as insurance reimbursement rates decline and administrative burdens rise. Soleutions is part of a growing movement encouraging podiatrists to consider alternative business models that prioritize clinical autonomy and financial sustainability.
While the shift to a cash-pay model is not without challenges, it offers podiatrists the opportunity to enhance their revenue potential by providing treatments that are often excluded from insurance coverage. Some innovative treatments, which may be more effective or cutting-edge, are frequently unavailable to patients because they are not included in the insurance system. Soleutions aims to equip podiatrists with the knowledge and strategies to offer these treatments directly to patients.
“There are many advanced treatment options that insurance companies may not cover, not because they are ineffective, but because they don’t fit within the narrow scope of what insurers deem reimbursable,” says Dr. Michael E. Graham, Founder of Soleutions. “By embracing a cash-pay model, podiatrists can offer patients access to the care they deserve, without the limitations imposed by insurance companies.”
Building a Sustainable Future for Podiatrists
Soleutions stands out for its holistic approach to supporting podiatric practices. Unlike short-term training programs or one-time consultations, Soleutions is a long-term partner in the growth of podiatric practices. The platform’s offerings include ongoing community support, expert-led online and in-person events, and access to strategic partnerships with industry leaders that highlight cash-pay-friendly treatments.
“The shift toward cash-pay services represents an opportunity to create a sustainable and patient-centered business model,” says Graham. “For podiatrists who are feeling overwhelmed by the demands of insurance and paperwork, this approach offers a pathway to focus on what truly matters—providing excellent care to their patients.”
A Strong Community of Podiatric Practitioners
One of the key differentiators of Soleutions is its community-driven approach. Podiatrists who join the platform gain access to a network of like-minded professionals who are also navigating the shift to a cash-pay model. This community fosters collaboration, idea-sharing, and support, helping practitioners overcome challenges and learn from each other’s experiences.
“We believe that no podiatrist should feel alone in this process,” Sole says. “Our community is built to provide encouragement, share successes, and tackle obstacles together.”
