Welcome to the realm of business where every decision counts, every strategy matters, and every advantage makes a difference. In today’s competitive landscape, the pursuit of a business advantage isn’t just desirable; it’s essential for profitability and growth. Having a business advantage is not merely a choice but a necessity. When you join the Personal Injury Business Advantage program, you get just that.
Learn to be best positioned when it is time to negotiate with the attorney by adopting and applying the foundational processes we teach. Processes start even before patients walk in the office. By having the right Lien or LOP, with proper protections, and by providing NSA compliant GFE’s, having well-documented SOAP notes, billing processes, fee support and more, you will be on your way.
This program teaches medical providers, and/or key staffers how to increase net profits. Learn how to out-negotiate those who do it for a living, including PI attorneys and their staff. Be able to collect MedPay and PIP sooner and in full, out-maneuver patient attorneys, spot and stop red flags, set patient expectations, and turn the tables on attorneys and law firm staff to end unwarranted bill reductions. Learn and apply the lessons for both a return on your investment (‘ROI’) and, at the same time, getting a return on your relationships (‘ROR’) that matter most.
Achieve sustainable, profitable growth in your personal injury practice as well as in all your practice segments. It’s about creating and identifying your raving fans, the right marketing approach to patients and peers, and getting the good attorney gold. When you have the right processes in place and are being profitably paid, you are perfectly positioned for sustainable growth and scale.
The pursuit of a business advantage isn’t a luxury reserved for a select few medical providers; it’s a must-do for any medical provider and staff, in any specialty, that accepts personal injury patients on lien or LOP.
The Business Advantage Program teaches you to become a Personal Injury Business Pro.
A PI Business Pro has learned what they did not teach in school: how healthcare providers can successfully manage personal injury patients and their businesses to get properly paid for the medical services they provide.
Pro's use their knowledge to their advantage, turning the tables on the attorneys who know that most healthcare providers don’t fully understand the nuances of personal injury and use it against them.
As a PRO, maximizing profits is far easier and over time becomes easy. Frustration turns to fun as revenues go up (way up) and stress goes down (way down). In fact, the frustration turns into confidence as you learn how to out-maneuver and out-negotiate difficult attorneys yet providing far greater value to the good ones who then want you far more as one of their “go to” providers. PROs assert advantages and apply leverage over lawyers and their staff at the right time and in the right way. It’s the power of the Business Advantage success formula: proven processes, being profitably paid, and sustainable growth. For those that turn PRO, the frustration is lifted not just off of medical providers and the business owners, but also the office manager or medical back-office staffer often playing point with the law firms. That staff also become a PRO making their life far easier and less stressful, while your business becomes more profitable.
As a PRO, you learn what “not” to do in PI that drivers personal injury attorneys made and where you become the last person they want to send more of their clients to. PROs know how certain processes such as the patient diagramming how the accident occurred can create a liability situation where none existed, so have eliminated bad or risky habits. PROs learn the actions that can harm a PI case, harming a patient financially, and harming the ability to recovery on your hard work. PROs learn not only what to do, but what not to do.
As a PRO, you know how to spot and stop attorney and law firm tricks, tactics and taunts, and how to use leverage over the difficult attorneys to have them entering the five stages of grief as they are compelled to pay you properly and timely. PROs embrace that neither you nor your key back office staffer needs to be a lawyer to do this, not in the slightest. Negotiating actually becomes fun for PROs and a skill quickly learned and over time mastered. By following the right processes from the beginning and during a PI matter, PROs learn how to position and protect themselves from the difficult attorneys, and how to gain the advantage. PROs learn the art and science of Negotiations Aikido and how to apply the dominos that make up the DISRUPTIVE method of lien and LOP negotiations. Once the domino’s are set into motion, overall success over difficult attorneys is inevitable.
As a PRO, you learn that when you have the right processes in place, you are already at a business advantage when it comes time to be paid. You limit the number of reductions and the amount of those reductions. Even when those steep reductions still find there way to you, PROs learn how to turn steep reductions into huge profits. That’s the Negotiations Aikido and DISRUPTIVE method of lien and LOP negotiation business advantage. PROs learn how these can be mastered by any provider, office manager, or competent medical back-office staffer.
As a PRO, you know that your treatment, fees and billing will be the subject of attack even when you’ve done nothing wrong. PROs learn how to position things to either eliminate or drastically reduce the potential of those negative assertions. PROs also learn how to be a value driver for the good attorneys by providing specific fee and bill support that matters to attorneys and adjusters, which can are used to obtain earlier and higher settlements. PROs handle the fee and billing aspect so well, defense attorneys move from doubt to respect as they aren’t able to tarnish the credibility of a PRO, which then helps the patient, the patient’s attorney, and their own reputation and bill.
As a PRO, you know that the most critical document in a personal injury matter is one: the medical lien agreement or letter of protection. PROs know that’s the foundational document entitling payment of the bill for all the hard work, and the terms and words in that lien or LOP can be the key. PROs have learned most all liens and LOPs are truly deficient, and that by simply using far more comprehensive ones they are best positioned for when it comes time to be paid and can head off many of the usual difficult attorney tricks and tactics. By using the “right” lien or LOP, PROs know they have a huge business advantage.
As a PRO, you know that the good attorneys want providers who are paid in full most of the time, because then for the more important matters they are subject to less attack at deposition or trial when it really matters. PROs know the value drivers that good attorneys know are difference makers for them and their cases, even as PROs remain neutral medical treaters staying in their medical lane. PROs also know what can negatively impact a PI case, and avoid those bad habits and misteps. The good attorneys know that with a PRO they also get a business advantage and want more of it, so the PROs become their “go to” providers.
As a PRO, you learn how the real focus of growth is not through law firm referrals that in some states can also be attacked. PROs are taught how to create, identify, and arm raving fans from two key segments: their patients who know them best, and their medical peers who collaborate as part of a lien and LOP network in PI. PROs are also better able to identify the good attorneys for their objectives, and how to present the value drivers that are the difference makers to become one of their go to treaters. A PRO has a growth advantage every where they turn.

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.
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.
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.
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.
We educate, train and coach not on the treatment of your patients but on the business of medical office management in this unique space we call the high-profit highway. Our Business Advantage Program members get exclusive access to the knowledge, methods, strategies, tactics and tools that make the difference and that are unmatched in the country. No one is like us. And you get coached, guided and supported by Michael Coates, the top lien and LOP negotiator in the country, and the entire Personal Injury Made Easy team. Our entire focus is on your success as a small business owner. We have an online portal with courses, trainings, resources and tools, as well as weekly live coaching where each session is recorded. Everything is accessible 24/7 based upon your time availability.
