Keeping Your Job Rests Upon The Ability to Get Paid!

What would happen if you had the method of collecting all the money your office was owed?

Effective Medical Office Collections...The Seminar!

A "How-To" Approach That Shows You How to Win at the Game Designed to Keep You Losing: Getting Paid for an Honest Day's Work!

Of all things to do in a medical office (and this includes all disciplines of health care) one of the toughest and most thankless tasks is collecting the money that is owed the practice.

The doctor, therapist, or practitioner works hard to be productive ---moreso now that at any time in history--- and all-too-often today is seeing the amount of money coming in diminishing. It's not just declining reimubursement affecting the practice, but everyone from insurance companies to patients that are hoarding their money, finding excuses not to pay their obligations.

Ever heard any of these priceless gems...

  • "I don't have my checkbook." 
  • "I'm on a fixed income, you know, and social security doesn't pay much." 
  • "Yeah, I guess someone's gotta pay for his new BMW." 
  • "The insurance company paid you, I got the letter in the mail." 
  • "Can you send me a bill? I'm a little short right now." 
  • "Everyone else just takes what insurance pays! What's wrong with you?" 
  • "The doctor said not to worry about it." 

I'm sure you've got dozens more of such objections that are even more ridiculous. Heck even the laws (in some cases) are on the side of people who owe money. It makes you wonder what's"fair" about the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.

But what is serious about this is that too much of this will beat a person down to the point where they don't care, and very simply...

it's wrong!

It's wrong on many levels. It's wrong to let people get away with not paying their bills. After all, do your patients stiff the girl at the register in the grocery store after loading up the cart? Of course not, so why should they stiff your office, especially when the office cares more about their patients than anyone at the grocery store?

It's also wrong to short your employer what is due him or her. Very wrong. If you were short on your paycheck, you'd be in the bosses office with a sharp object screaming holy terror the second you saw it on your pay stub.

But what if you could make getting paid what you're owed a cake walk?

What would it be worth to you if you could...

  • Reduce your 30, 60, and 90 day A/R by 40%?
  • Get insurance companies to pay you on time?
  • Have three out of four patients paying what they owe at the time of service?
  • Double your "pulling power" of getting patients to pay with very little effort?
  • Handle those "slow-payers" with crisp efficiency?

There are several half day seminars out there that tell you this and that about what you can and can't do (even while they disclaim not to be giving legal advice). This isn't that type of seminar. They'll tell you what you need to know.

Here, you'll be shown HOW to do it.

For example, if we cite a case study where we contacted the Insurance Commissioner about an insurance company that was stalling, you'll get the step-by-step details on how it was done, and the end result (the insurance company had a low level director/supervisor calling in two days trying to smooth everything out...and very sweetly, I might add). We won't just say, "You should contact you Insurance Commissioner and complain." No, there's a little more to it than that.

This is NOT a four-hour seminar put on by a trained public speaker who's simply regurgitating the do's and don'ts or "best practices" about collections law, and tries to upsell you on their ghost-written "special reports".

This is a full-day, roll-up-your-sleeves, intensive seminar developed by two bright ladies who deal with the same frustrations as you, but who decided to do something about it.   Here you will learn a process of staying on top of your accounts so that cash flow is never a problem.

There is no "magic bullet" that's being sold here. Success in collections is work. It's sometimes hard work and unforgiving. Success really comes down to having ALL the right pieces in place and holding them there.

That means having a system.

That means being organized.

That means being consistent and persistent.

It also means having the intent to make it go right.

And it means having the skills to tie it all together so that it works.

And it will.

You'll have a new viewpoint on how to organize your actions, plus you'll have a new skill set that will set you up to get paid quickly with less stress and anxiety.
