Approaching Problems with Contagious Enthusiasm
Marnie joins the CEO Moves podcast to share insights from over 30 years in medical practice management and consulting. She talks about leading with integrity, adapting to change, and how enthusiasm can turn challenges into opportunities.
My Story
At the heart of Medical Practice Management & Consulting, LLC (MPMC) is a simple but powerful mission: to help healthcare providers thrive—operationally, financially, and ethically. Founded by Marnie Cabezas, a nationally recognized healthcare consultant with over three decades of experience, MPMC exists to bring clarity, strategy, and sustainability to independent practices and birth centers navigating an increasingly complex healthcare system.
Marnie’s journey began in the early '90s, when she launched what would become the nation's leading maternity-focused medical billing company. For 27 years, she built deep relationships with midwives, family medicine practitioners, behavioral health providers, lactation consultants, pediatricians, and surgeons across the country—offering not just billing support, but education, advocacy, and a shared belief in equitable access to care.
After successfully selling that business, Marnie directed her full attention to consulting through MPMC, expanding her ability to offer more tailored, hands-on support to practices at all stages of growth. Her work continues to span nationwide and includes strategic guidance in revenue cycle management, credentialing, claims optimization, payer contracting, and operational transformation. Whether she’s coaching a rural clinic through an insurance carrier audit or helping a birth center transition to independent governance, Marnie brings unmatched expertise and fierce dedication to every project.
As a Subject Matter Expert for state and federal initiatives, she collaborates with health systems, community safety-net providers, and policymakers to address systemic gaps—particularly in maternal and perinatal care.
She’s known for her ability to interpret complex payer data, identify opportunities for growth, and design pragmatic solutions that allow clinicians to focus on what matters most: patient care. MPMC isn’t a corporate consultancy. It’s a trusted ally to practices that want real results, delivered by someone who’s been in the trenches, who speaks your language, and who understands the stakes.
This is more than consulting. This is partnership. This is transformation.

Who We Assist?
I work with healthcare leaders and teams who are ready to evolve — whether that means growing smarter, modernizing systems, or navigating transitions with confidence. My clients span diverse settings, but they share one goal: to build sustainable, patient-centered practices that thrive operationally and financially.
Midwives & Birth Centers
Independent midwifery practices and birth centers often face unique payer and workflow challenges that large systems overlook.
I help align their billing, credentialing, and EHR systems with real-world midwifery care — ensuring fair reimbursement, continuity through transfers, and compliance with state-level policy changes.
Concierge & Direct-Care Practices
For concierge and hybrid models, I design workflows and reporting systems that balance personalized care with operational excellence. From contracting and membership billing to tech stack integration, I help ensure your systems support — not slow down — your patient experience.
Women’s Health & Specialty Practices
OB/GYN, lactation, fertility, and surgical centers rely on accurate coding, efficient scheduling, and connected data. I help these practices implement interoperable systems, improve documentation integrity, and strengthen payer relationships.
Healthcare Startups & Buyers/Sellers
New ventures and transitions require steady guidance. I support startups in system setup, credentialing, and payer onboarding — and assist buyers and sellers during acquisitions to preserve both value and team cohesion.
Legal, Government & Policy Partners
I serve as a subject matter expert for organizations working on healthcare reimbursement, coding, or compliance projects — offering insight that bridges real-world operations and policy intent.

Dr. Eduardo Marichal, MD
It was a pleasure working with Marnie Cabezas as we were opening a new birth center in Gainesville Florida. We utilized her services as consultant and her expertise was evident from our first meeting . She has a comprehensive understanding of all the requirements and pitfalls that can be encountered along the way. Her positive attitude is infectious. I look forward to a future opportunity when we can utilize her services again.

Mary Lawlor, CPM, LM, MA Policy Institute for Community Birth and Midwifery & former owner of Monadnock Birth Center
I connected this past year with Marnie Cabezas when I was at a very low point with my business. I absolutely could not have had a better person to consult with and advise me. She listened deeply, shared new ideas with me from her many years in the field, and was a solid, caring, professional companion for me through months of my ups and downs. After supporting me to explore numerous innovative ways to turn my business around, she helped and supported me through the difficult but most appropriate decision for me to close my business and sell the property it was housed in. I now have a new lease on life, and I owe that in no small part to Marnie and her kindness, empathy, clarity, and expertise. Marnie is a consummate professional, a truly fine person, and a pleasure to work with. Thank you, Marnie! I look forward to staying connected with you going forward! - Mary Lawlor, CPM, LM, MA Policy Institute for Community Birth and Midwifery & former owner of Monadnock Birth Center.
