Community & Peer Support
Independent vein practice owners benefit from a community that understands the business of vein care. Through HPS peer support, owners and their teams can exchange ideas about staffing, marketing, billing, operations, and growth with colleagues facing similar decisions.
Connect With HPS
HPS solves this by creating a structured community where physicians, practice leaders, office managers, billing teams, marketers, and clinical staff can learn directly from one another. Through coaching, benchmarks, workshops, peer discussions, and live events, members gain access to real-time insights from practices across the country.
The result is faster decision-making, fewer costly mistakes, stronger team alignment, and more confident practice growth.
“Practicing independently is lonely… being a part of HPS is proof that we’re not on an island, we’re on the same boat, rowing in the same direction.”
Dr. Eric Phillippi, MD — Medical Procedures of Wisconsin
HPS provides ongoing opportunities for members to connect, collaborate, and learn from peers facing the same challenges. With more than 50 workshops available to members, the network creates a continuous learning environment where best practices are shared, challenges are addressed, and new opportunities are identified.
These sessions are designed to support every part of an independent vein practice, including operations, revenue cycle, marketing, physician leadership, clinical care, and ultrasound education. Through Office Manager, Billing, Marketing, Physician and Owner, and Quarterly Ultrasound calls, teams gain practical guidance they can apply directly within their practice.
Together, these workshops help create more aligned, informed, and high-performing teams, leading to greater operational efficiency, improved financial performance, and stronger patient outcomes.
The Monthly Physician and Owner Workshop serves as a collaborative forum for physicians and practice leaders across the country. These sessions go beyond a typical meeting by giving members access to a collective brain trust of experienced leaders navigating the same challenges and opportunities in independent practice.
Discussions often focus on people, staffing, leadership, insurance and reimbursement, procedural offerings, clinical efficiency, scheduling strategy, staffing models, workflow optimization, technology adoption, financial performance, and growth planning.
These calls also create space for open discussion with industry leaders, helping physicians build meaningful relationships while advancing vein education, patient care, and independent practice success.
The Monthly Office Managers Workshop brings together administrative leaders from across the HPS network to focus on the operational drivers of a successful independent practice.
These sessions address the day-to-day realities of running a vein practice, including scheduling, access, production, patient flow, clinical coordination, provider efficiency, and practice operations.
Participants share practical strategies for minimizing downtime, improving coordination between clinical staff and providers, and creating a consistent, high-quality patient experience from initial consultation through treatment.
The Billing Workshop focuses on the financial processes that directly impact reimbursement and practice performance.
Topics often include coding, denials, payors, prior authorizations, documentation, medical necessity, and collections. With payer requirements and documentation standards constantly evolving, these sessions help teams stay ahead of changes that affect revenue.
Members gain relevant, actionable insights that support stronger billing processes, fewer denials, improved collections, and better overall financial performance.
The Monthly Marketing Workshop gives practices a proven, peer-driven space to explore marketing strategies specifically focused on vein practices and the patients they serve.
A key benefit of this workshop is the unbiased perspective of the network. Rather than promoting one vendor or one approach, discussions are grounded in real-world experience, including what has worked, what has not, and why.
Topics often include digital marketing performance, patient acquisition, branding, online reputation management, local market positioning, ad spend, conversion rates, and patient engagement. Members gain practical takeaways they can implement immediately to improve visibility, attract the right patients, and support sustainable growth.
For practices operating in an office-based lab environment, HPS provides peer-driven insight into clinical and practice operations that support efficiency, consistency, and growth.
Discussions may include procedural workflow, staffing, scheduling, patient experience, equipment utilization, compliance considerations, and operational best practices that help teams improve performance across the OBL setting.
The Quarterly Ultrasound Tech Workshop provides a focused forum for education, best practice sharing, and clinical consistency across the network.
These sessions support both skill development and workflow improvement, recognizing the critical role ultrasound plays in diagnosis, treatment planning, and procedural success. Discussions often include technique refinement, image quality, protocol standardization, workflow efficiency, troubleshooting, and real-world clinical challenges.
By combining ongoing education with peer-driven best practices, these calls help ultrasound teams maintain high standards, improve accuracy, and contribute to better patient care.
HPS supports practice leadership with access to peer collaboration, benchmarking, strategic discussion, and shared insight from top-performing independent practices.
These conversations help leaders evaluate performance, identify opportunities, improve team alignment, make better decisions, and create systems that support predictable growth.
“What we get on the calls once a month — whether it’s ultrasound, marketing, the office manager, or physician calls — has been really beneficial.”
Marc Abernethy, MBA — Vanish Advanced Vein Treatments / Vein Specialists in Southeast Wisconsin

HPS hosts monthly and quarterly calls that bring together physicians, office managers, billing teams, marketers, and clinical staff from across the country. These sessions create a connected community where members can share knowledge, solve challenges, and continuously elevate both clinical outcomes and business performance.
Across all calls, participants engage in open dialogue around the full scope of running a successful independent practice, from patient care and clinical excellence to operations, reimbursement, marketing, and growth strategy.
What makes these sessions powerful is the network itself: real practices sharing real experiences without bias. This creates a culture of continuous learning, stronger relationships, and actionable insights that can be implemented immediately.
“There’s so much out there to learn, and we can always learn something from someone else.”
Dr. Meg O’Hare — Elite Vein Specialists
Independent vein practices are facing increasing complexity across every area of the business, from patient acquisition and staffing to reimbursement, operations, and clinical care. Many practices are looking for trusted insight into what is actually driving results.
The HPS Vein Practice Growth Summit brings that network together in a highly collaborative, in-person setting designed specifically for independent practice leaders.
Through focused sessions, peer-driven discussions, and real-world strategy sharing, attendees gain direct insight into what top-performing practices are doing across marketing, operations, revenue cycle, leadership, and clinical care. Every aspect of the summit is built around practical application, giving members clear, actionable strategies they can implement immediately.
The result is greater alignment, stronger decision-making, and a defined path toward predictable growth and improved profitability.
HPS also brings the network together through its bi-annual Vein Practice Growth Summit, the premier event for independent vein practices.
These events are more than traditional conferences. They are immersive experiences designed to accelerate learning, spark innovation, and strengthen relationships across the network.
Through expert-led sessions, peer-driven discussions, and real-world case studies, attendees gain practical insight across clinical care, operations, marketing, leadership, and financial performance. The collaborative environment allows members to exchange ideas openly, learn from one another’s successes and challenges, and build meaningful connections that extend far beyond the event itself.
By bringing together top-performing independent practices, HPS creates a platform where knowledge is shared freely, innovation is encouraged, and collective experience drives better decision-making. The result is a stronger, more connected community that continues to learn, evolve, and raise the standard of patient care.
