Medical Practices Marketing FAQs

How do you handle HIPAA compliance in digital marketing?

We implement HIPAA-compliant tracking using server-side solutions, sign Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) with compliant vendors, avoid collecting or transmitting PHI through marketing systems, and implement proper consent management. All campaigns and tracking are reviewed by healthcare compliance experts.

What medical specialties do you have experience marketing?

We have experience across primary care, urgent care, dermatology, orthopedics, cardiology, dental practices, plastic surgery, physical therapy, pain management, mental health, and more. Each specialty requires different strategies based on patient acquisition costs, lifetime value, and competitive dynamics.

How do you handle insurance vs. cash-pay messaging?

We create separate campaigns and landing pages for insurance-based and cash-pay services. Insurance messaging focuses on "in-network" targeting and coverage, while cash-pay emphasizes convenience, pricing transparency, and value. Some specialties (cosmetic, elective) are primarily cash-pay focused.

Can you integrate with our EMR and practice management system?

Yes, we integrate with major EMR and scheduling systems (Epic, Cerner, athenahealth, NextGen, etc.) to track appointments, patient lifetime value, and ROI. This closed-loop reporting connects marketing spend directly to new patient revenue and allows optimization toward highest-value patient types.

What budget do medical practices need for digital marketing?

Minimum $10K/month for single-location practices to compete in local markets. Multi-location practices and competitive specialties (orthopedics, cardiology) typically invest $25K-$75K+ monthly. Budget depends on specialty, local competition, insurance mix, and patient lifetime value.

How quickly can we see results from medical practice marketing?

Appointment volume typically increases within 2-4 weeks of campaign launch. Meaningful patient acquisition and ROI validation takes 60-90 days due to appointment lead times and patient retention cycles. We provide weekly reporting on leading indicators (calls, form fills, appointments booked) alongside final patient acquisition metrics.
