Tina Reed’s recent Axios article, “Why More Doctors Can’t Make Ends Meet”, highlights a harsh truth: America’s physicians are busier than ever but are seeing less return for their work. According to Kaufman Hall, physician productivity rose 11% over the past two years, yet net revenue per unit of work dropped 7%. The result? A wave of medical practice bankruptcies, providers cutting corners to stay afloat, and growing uncertainty about the future of independent medicine.
At MediMobile, we believe this crisis isn’t about doctors working harder. It is about them not being fully paid for the work they are already doing.

Reimbursements are flat. Expenses are rising. But beneath these systemic pressures lies another massive challenge: missed, delayed, and underpaid charges.
Every year, billions of dollars are left on the table because charges aren’t captured correctly, denials slip through, or coders can’t keep pace with documentation. Physicians are essentially donating their time — working harder without the financial recognition their effort deserves.
Behind every statistic in the report is a person. A physician who misses dinner with their family because they are catching up on notes. A practice manager who spends sleepless nights worrying about payroll. A young doctor questioning whether they can stay in medicine when the numbers no longer add up.
This is more than a financial crisis. It is a human one. When doctors are forced to work longer hours with less reward, patient care suffers. Burnout rises, talented providers walk away, and communities lose access to care. The weight of the system is falling on the very people it cannot afford to lose.
MediMobile exists to lighten that burden. Our technology is not just about automation. It is about giving doctors their evenings back, letting coders go home on time, and allowing practices to thrive instead of just survive.
The results speak for themselves. Many MediMobile clients see a return on investment in just 1 to 3 months, even as the broader market struggles with shrinking margins.
As the Axios piece notes, some practices are pivoting to elective procedures, concierge models, or selling to private equity. But these shifts do not solve the underlying issue. They move healthcare further away from accessibility and patient-centered care.
With MediMobile, practices don’t have to gamble on reinvention. Instead, they can strengthen their existing business by capturing the revenue they’ve already earned.
Physicians deserve better than working longer hours for shrinking paychecks. They deserve technology that does more than streamline workflows. They deserve tools that fight for their bottom line.
MediMobile’s mission is simple:
The healthcare industry is facing undeniable pressure, but the right tools can change the trajectory. Doctors should not have to choose between bankruptcy, burnout, or selling out. With Genesis, they can practice medicine, protect their income, and build a sustainable future.
