About The Corporate Heist
The Corporate Heist is an investigative publication exposing how the healthcare revenue cycle is rigged against providers and patients — and what to do about it.
We publish rigorous analysis of the structural dysfunction inside healthcare billing, payer practices, regulatory loopholes, and the operational realities that drain independent practices and exploit patients.
What we publish
The Corporate Heist runs five recurring departments:
Whose Fault Is It? — Specific revenue cycle disasters walked through role by role. The recurring answer: nobody. And that’s the problem.
The Long Con — Payer tactics exposed: silent recoupments, authorization loopholes, statute-of-limitations heists, audit weaponization.
Rigged — Regulatory and policy games that favor the people writing the rules.
Field Report — Anonymized scenes from inside real practices and patient experiences.
The Fix — Solution-focused pieces drawing on operational best practices.
A new piece publishes every Tuesday morning.
Why we publish under our editorial team
We publish under our editorial team rather than individual bylines for two reasons:
To maintain analytical independence. Our analysis isn’t driven by personal brand-building or career positioning. It’s driven by what the evidence shows.
To protect our contributors. The Corporate Heist publishes work that critiques powerful institutions. Editorial framing protects the people doing the work from retaliation.
