The Podcast
Rehabbing Your Revenue Cycle
A healthcare revenue cycle podcast hosted by Robert M. Kowalick, Jr., PT — founder of Revenue Cycle Solutions and Ascend Solutions. Real data, root-cause thinking, and no tolerance for the revenue cycle problems that have been normalized for too long.
About the show
Revenue cycle intelligence for practice owners and operators
Robert Kowalick built a seven-location physical therapy practice, sold it, ran revenue cycle for a multi-billion dollar acquirer, and spent the next two-plus decades building the only outcome-based RCM model that quantifies Revenue Cycle Complexity at the root cause. The podcast is where that experience becomes a public conversation.
Episodes cover Revenue Cycle Complexity, billing time demand vs. time supply, AR management, denial strategy, outsourcing vs. in-house decisions, payer dynamics, and the path from better data to higher enterprise value. If you own or operate a healthcare practice, this show is built for you.

Robert M. Kowalick, Jr., PT
Robert is a healthcare entrepreneur, former multi-location practice owner, and revenue cycle architect with more than four decades of experience in clinical practice, healthcare operations, and revenue cycle management.
He founded Revenue Cycle Solutions in 1998 and later founded Ascend Solutions to build the Practice Data Solutions platform — the only revenue cycle intelligence system that converts billing task experience into measurable Revenue Cycle Complexity data.
The podcast applies the same root-cause, problem-solving perspective that drives both companies to the broader healthcare revenue cycle conversation — no theory, no generic billing advice, just the data and the structural thinking that change outcomes.
