This episode features Dr. Bart Rademaker, a world-renowned plastic surgeon whose passion for healing spans both borders and disciplines. From his practice in the U.S. to his selfless humanitarian work throughout Central America, Dr. Rademaker is living proof that medicine can be a tool for both transformation and global impact. A former Nobel Peace Prize nominee for his international efforts, Dr. Rademaker shares the harsh financial realities facing today’s physicians—especially procedural specialists. Many doctors find themselves in emergency situations, providing life-saving care, only to remain unpaid due to insurance loopholes and out-of-network issues. Shockingly, an estimated $5 billion in medical services go uncompensated each year. He offers a candid look at why most physicians struggle with financial independence—often not achieving it until their mid-50s—and explains how a mindset shift is essential. “Doctors are great at healing, but bad at managing money,” he says. The solution? Learn to play the financial game to sustain your practice and your mission. Dr. Rademaker highlights how partnering with a recovery firm like Callagy Recovery (https://callagyrecovery.com/doctors-making-a-difference) is essential to navigate the complexities of the No Surprises Act (2022) and recover payments within the required 30-day window. If you're a physician who wants to continue making a difference and build a financially sound future, this episode is a must-listen. Because when doctors are empowered, communities thrive. Growth. Contribution. Sustainability. It all starts with reclaiming your autonomy. https://callagyrecovery.com/doctors-making-a-difference/ The Doctors Making a Difference Podcast is for informational purposes only and does not substitute for medical, legal, or professional advice.
