What happens when the demands of managed care clash with a provider's commitment to gold-standard hearing healthcare? For Jaysee Soto, owner of Altamonte Family Hearing in Florida, the answer lies in striking a delicate balance between business sustainability and patient-centered ethics.
Growing up in his family's New York City bodega, Jaysee watched his parents build relationships with every customer who walked through their door. Those early lessons in community connection now form the foundation of his hearing healthcare practice, where patients aren't just customers, they're extended family. Working alongside his wife Grace, Jaysee has created a practice environment where comprehensive care is the standard, not the exception.
The podcast takes us through Jaysee's unexpected journey from aspiring lawyer to passionate hearing care professional. That pivotal moment when he first witnessed a patient's face light up upon hearing their grandchild's voice clearly? It changed everything. Now he dedicates himself to creating those transformative moments for his patients, taking a full 90 minutes for comprehensive evaluations that far exceed industry minimums.
But this level of care creates tension when insurance and managed care plans don't adequately compensate for best practices like real ear measurement and extensive testing. Jaysee candidly shares his approach to this industry-wide dilemma: strategically limiting managed care appointments while ensuring those patients still receive quality care, implementing service plans that bridge the gap, and planning for growth that maintains standards while increasing access.
What emerges is a refreshing perspective on hearing healthcare economics. Rather than viewing patient care and business viability as opposing forces, he demonstrates how exceptional care creates its own sustainability through patient loyalty and word-of-mouth referrals. Even patients who initially come through managed care plans often return as private pay patients after experiencing the difference that comprehensive care makes.
Ready to discover what ethical hearing healthcare looks like in action? Listen now and learn how leading with heart can transform both patient outcomes and practice success.
