Denied, Overbilled, Undisclosed: A Physician Takes On Medical Billing | Beyond the Visit

Healthcare doesn't stop when the appointment ends—and neither does the bill. In this episode of Beyond the Visit, I sit down with Dr. Bill Hennessey, MD, a physician, former physician billing company owner, and national voice on price transparency and medical billing integrity. He has spent more than a decade focused on healthcare costs, hospital bills, and insurance denials. We talk about why itemized bills matter, what he looks for when reviewing a hospital bill, how physicians can help patients challenge “not medically necessary” denials, where practices may be losing money on their own claims, and what he believes healthcare should look like instead. Whether you own a practice, work as an employed clinician, lead a healthcare team, or work in revenue cycle, this conversation offers a different look at what happens after the visit—financially.
