Help Doctors Do More with Less Using AI and Automation
Interview with Medical Billing Business Owner, Cheryl Carr
Choose the Right Path
Most people entering medical billing think they need to choose between two paths: get certified through traditional education or jump straight into business ownership. What they don’t realize is there’s a third option that actually works better.
Certification programs teach you coding and billing concepts. Business courses teach you theory. But neither prepares you for the reality of actually running a profitable medical billing operation.
You need to understand claim processing, yes. But you also need to know how to land your first client, manage cash flow, handle compliance requirements, and use technology to scale efficiently. The entrepreneurs in our community who build sustainable practices aren’t the ones with the most credentials.
They’re the ones who combined industry knowledge with real business fundamentals from day one. They skipped the gap between learning about medical billing and knowing how to run a medical billing business.
If you’re considering this path, ask yourself: are you looking for a certificate, or are you building something that generates real income and long-term value? The answer to that question should shape your next move.
What’s been the biggest gap you’ve noticed between what you learned and what you actually needed to know?

The RCM Industry Continues to Grow!
The RCM market is doubling in size. We’re looking at roughly $344 billion globally by 2030, with the U.S. alone hitting 10-11% annual growth. That’s not a projection anymore—that’s happening right now.
What’s driving it? Healthcare organizations are finally admitting they can’t handle their own revenue cycle management. Claims denials are eating into their margins. Prior authorizations are bottlenecks. Patient collections are a mess. And the bigger the health system, the worse the problem gets.
Here’s what I’m watching closely. Private equity is pouring money into this space. Major consolidation is underway. Companies are racing to integrate AI and automation. But underneath all that M&A activity and tech investment, there’s a fundamental truth: healthcare providers still need people who understand the business, not just the software.
That’s the real opening. If you’re willing to build genuine expertise in medical billing and revenue cycle management, you’re not competing in a crowded market. You’re entering one that’s actively expanding and increasingly desperate for qualified professionals who can actually solve problems.
Are you building skills in a shrinking industry, or positioning yourself in one that’s actively growing?
