Your Telehealth setup is probably leaving money on the table


Hey Reader,

Here's something I see constantly with small mental health and wellness practices:

They set up Telehealth during COVID, it worked "well enough," and now it's just... there. A way to keep patients happy.

What it's not being used as is a revenue tool.

That's a missed opportunity — and it's more common than you'd think.

When your virtual care setup is actually dialed in, a few things happen:

You stop losing patients to friction. A clunky intake process, a platform that confuses patients, a link that doesn't work on mobile — every one of those is a patient who reschedules, no-shows, or quietly finds someone else. A smooth Telehealth experience keeps patients in your ecosystem.

You can see more patients without more overhead. No room constraints. No commute time eating into appointments. Practitioners who optimize their virtual schedules routinely add 4–6 billable hours per week without adding a single square foot of office space.

You become the easy choice. Patients in 2026 expect virtual options. Practices that make it seamless get the referral, the Google review, and the returning patient. Ones that make it a hassle don't.

The difference between Telehealth as a convenience and Telehealth as a revenue driver usually comes down to three things: the right platform, a clean workflow, and knowing how to position it to patients.

If you want to see what that looks like in practice — and whether your current setup has any gaps — I put together a program for exactly this: See if you qualify at the link below:

It's worth 5 minutes of your time.

Hi Reader What's taking up too much of your time? Last week I asked you to write down the one task you do manually, repeatedly, and kind of dread. A lot of you replied. And I want you to know — I read every single one. The answers fell into two buckets, administrative work and keeping patients engaged. Not your clinical work, It's the administrative grind that follows. That's not a coincidence. And it's not a personal failing. It's a systems problem — and there are tools built specifically to...

Hi Reader What's taking up too much of your time? Last week I asked you to write down the one task in your practice week that you do manually, repeatedly, and kind of dread. A lot of you wrote back. Scheduling follow-ups. Chasing no-shows. Sending intake forms by hand. Re-explaining the same billing issue to the same insurance companies. The answers were different but the tone was almost identical across every reply: yeah, I know. I've known for a while. That's actually the more interesting...

Hi Reader What's taking up too much of your time? Let me say something that might feel a little uncomfortable. A lot of Telehealth providers I talk to describe the same feeling: they're busier than ever, but the practice isn't really growing. Revenue is flat. The schedule feels full but fragile. They're spending more energy just keeping things running than actually building something. And the story they tell themselves is: I'm just burned out. I want to offer a different diagnosis. Burnout is...
