Welcome to the NCMGMA Podcast, where we dive into the key topics shaping the healthcare management community. This podcast is brought to you by the North Carolina Medical Group Management Association, in partnership with ComTech. I’m Stephen Fogg from Fogg Media, your host for this episode.
Today, we’re tackling one of the most critical aspects of healthcare management: contracting. We’re joined by Doral Jacobsen, CEO of Prosper Beyond, who brings years of expertise in helping healthcare providers navigate the challenging waters of managed care contracts.
Doral is a well-known figure within the NCMGMA community who travels nationally across the different MGMA chapters presenting and consulting on this issue and we’re thrilled she’s joining us to share her insights on the data transparency issues, the hard truths about payers, and some of the horror stories she’s encountered when it comes to contracting.

If you look up the word exceptional, words like unusual, uncommon, not typical, and extraordinary stand out in defining ways to be outstanding. Our next guest’s background is nothing short of exceptional based on those adjectives. 
 
Tracy Spears, the Founder of the Exceptional Leaders Lab and our guest for the 2024 NCMGMA Master Class in Beaufort, North Carolina, emerged from a humble beginning, navigating her way from a 14x70 trailer in Oklahoma to a distinguished career.
 
Tracy kickstarted her journey with a softball scholarship to the University of Oklahoma, eventually earning a spot on the U.S. National Softball Team. Now, as a renowned speaker and coach, she challenges individuals to rewrite their success stories, urging them to embrace authentic power.
 
Tracy's impact is unparalleled, having guided thousands through keynote speeches, conferences, webinars, and broadcasts. For an extra dose of motivation, I encourage you to watch her TEDx talk, “Trailer Park University,” - a powerful narrative about overcoming hardship. Join us as we unravel Tracy’s exceptional insights and leadership wisdom in this episode of the NCMGMA Podcast.”
