Who we serve
Independent practices and physician groups
Primary care, specialty, concierge and direct pay practices scaling from one location to twenty. We plan growth around panel economics and payer mix, not around campaigns.
The binding constraint. The constraint is rarely demand. It is new patient capture, recall, and a payer mix nobody has examined in two years.
The numbers
What this segment is actually run on
Every project in the plan has to move one of these three, or it does not belong in the plan.
What we work on
The levers that move this segment
The three numbers a practice grows on
Paneled patients per provider, visits per patient per year, and revenue per visit. Every project in the plan has to move one of them, or it does not belong in the plan.
Payer and care model fluency
Concierge, direct primary care, MSSP, Medicare Advantage, commercial fee for service and Medicaid each have a different unit economic engine and a different binding constraint. Running one playbook across all of them is the most common reason a practice stalls.
New patient capture, not lead generation
Third next available appointment, phone abandonment rate, and inquiry to kept appointment. Most practices we evaluate are already generating the calls. They are losing them between the ring and the schedule.
Untapped service lines and codes
Annual wellness visits, chronic care management, transitional care management and remote patient monitoring are frequently revenue already sitting inside the existing panel, worth reviewing with your billing and compliance team before any campaign promotes them.
Referral and intake systems, not memory
A front desk that can convert an inquiry into a kept appointment, and a referral relationship tracked in a system rather than in one person's head, move conversion faster than any new ad spend.
Local search, Google Business Profile, and reputation
Most independent practices are competing against groups with dedicated marketing staff on a website nobody has touched in years. Local search advertising and active review management level that field.
Healthcare Marketing by Velocity
Want the hands-on execution team, not just the strategy?
Healthcare Marketing by Velocity, the execution division of Velocity Revenue Partners, runs the front-desk training, referral tracking systems, local search advertising, and reputation management day to day.
