Frequently Asked Questions

What do WE DO?

We give medical offices and service providers in the personal injury space the business advantage. Our members learn how to be a value-driver for the good attorneys and how to out-negotiate the difficult ones.  Our focus is on three areas of what we call the high-profit highway that  is personal injury: the right processes, being profitably paid, and sustained growth.

 

What do YOU GET?

You get more profits and less stress in this high-profit yet high-stress personal injury environment.  You get the business advantages improved process, profits and growth, and ultimately, the destination of a high-profit practice. 

 

WHY do you call personal injury the HIGH-PROFIT HIGHWAY?

Because it is, and by a long shot. Personal injury pays at or near full out-of-network rates when you do this area right, far higher than cash and now even lower in-network health insurance payments, and without all the paperwork insurance requires or chasing patients or their financial ability to pay, which more than makes up for the extra time it takes to get paid with a PI patient.  Better yet, you have many business advantages that only PI provides. Here are just four: (1) PI is a new patient gateway for those new to your specialty or your business; (2) that new patient opportunity lets you educate them on your other practice areas as you train these term injury care patients; (3) the built-in medical collaboration and referrals that come from other provider specialties in the “lien network”; and (4) when you learn to avoid the wrongs and do things right in PI, you become the go to provider for the good attorneys who respect and pay your bill as you and your staff have earned.

 

WHAT is your SUCCESS FORMULA?

Our formula for success is simple: processes, profits and growth. Those are the three segments that make up the high-profit highway. Each is a key part of the road. Processes is the beginning of the road trip and the first segment of the highway, having you prepared, positioned and protected with advantages already put in place.  Profits is the second and most challenging part of the road, which is where you find the obstacles of law firms and PI cases that are as unique as your patients, yet there are ways to gain the advantage to successfully navigate the obstacles and hazards you will encounter. Growth is the third and final segment, where you hit the straightaway with the pedal to the metal as you grow your practice with patients, peers and good attorneys.  Mastering these three segments of the road: process, profits, and growth – will have you gaining the advantage which turns business that are merely surviving into one that is thriving.

HOW CAN WE WIN against Personal Injury Attorneys who Fight for a living?

By learning, applying and over time mastering Negotiations Aikido and the DISRUPTIVE Method. Because great negotiators are made, not born.  And this method quickly gives you leverage over lawyers, both to profit better while growing relationships with the good attorneys, and out-negotiating the difficult ones and their often aggressive law firm staff.  Aikido as a martial arts is unique, using the energy and actions of the opponent to against them both offensively and defensively. It’s perfect for healers (you) battling against warriors (them).  You learn the DISRUPTIVE Method that applies Negotiations Aikido giving you the advantage.  Think of the DISRUPTIVE method as a set of dominos.  Once put in place, success is inevitable like a set of dominos set in motion once aligned correctly. Anyone can learn this method. You’ve earned the right to be properly paid, and this method gets it done.  And you have the originator of this method and the top negotiations expert in the country as your Negotiations Aikido Master: Michael Coates.

Do you have any SUCCESS EXAMPLES?

One member was getting 52% on average pay on all their PI bills prior to joining.  By the end of the first year in the program, they were at 72% and by the end of the second year about 80% — more than doubling their GROSS revenues and a much larger multiple of their net revenues.  At the same time, they grew their new PI patients base which also fed their other practice segments.
