Partnerships for Progress

Elevating Medical Providers

Running a successful association is all about delivering more.

More
membership value

Continuing education is one way to attract and retain members. But CE has focused traditionally on clinical and technical skills. What’s missing are the business skills that keep providers in business.

 

 

Are you helping your members
do business better?

More
collaboration

You’re forging essential partnerships with other professionals, acupuncturists, chiropractors, neurologists, orthopedists, pain management physicians, physical therapists and surgeons among them. Collaboration is the future of PI healthcare.

 

Are you helping your members create those opportunities?

 

More
advocacy

You’re promoting and defending the interests of the profession and your members. Pushing for fair reimbursements and better patient protections, and helping them comply with new government regulations is part of the job. It requires leadership.

 

Are you helping your members
be their own best advocates?

 

We can make more…Easier.

Why Personal Injury?

  1. Personal injury is often the public’s first connection with a variety of medical specialties involved in treating such injuries. It’s a chance to introduce them to yours.
  2. Personal injury is an ideal opportunity to be part of the patient’s multidisciplinary healthcare team. It’s also an opportunity to transition patients from short-term injury recovery to long-term wellness care.
  3. Personal injury can pay better than cash or insurance – even in a recession. If done right, it can become the provider’s most profitable business segment.

 

But…

Medical providers have rarely been taught how to run a medical practice or a PI segment. And it’s shortchanging their financial future.

We can help fix that.

How to Spot – and Stop – Attorney & Provider Fouls

It may feel like the personal injury game is rigged against medical providers. It isn’t.

The real problem is the legal and ethical fouls committed by attorneys, patients, insurers – and, yes, providers themselves.

PI could be your members’ most profitable business segment. We’ll show them how.

How to Spot – and Stop – Attorney & Provider Fouls

 

A 4-hour online intensive

Saturday, April 15, 2023

10 am PST/1 pm EST

Did you know

Virtually every medical provider must comply with the No Surprises Act’s strict regulatory mandates regarding balance billing and surprise medical bills. Yet, less than 20% of them understand how significantly the NSA affects their medical practices. And even fewer – 10% – are compliant with the law.

Violating the NSA can be expensive:
• A patient dispute process that can wipe out the provider’s entire bill
• Misuse and abuse of the law by some patients and attorneys
• Government fines of up to $10,000

NSA noncompliance is a cost your members most likely can’t afford. But the NSA is also an opportunity they can’t afford to miss.

Now On-Demand

Violating the No Surprises Act (NSA) can be a big mistake. But complying with it the right way can yield big results.

This four-hour boot camp will teach your members about both. Partner with us for member discounts to webinars and workshops.

Put our experience to work for you.
