From: Dr. Margolies .. 7-8-04 www.chirosmart.net Note .. I recommend you attend a great three day seminar concerning the secrets of attracting new and profitable PI patients as well as managing the super-successful PI practice at the next Fernandez Seminar in Atlanta from August 13-15. Besides learning the various facets of personal injury care, including correct documentation, bullet proof case management, rules on being an expert witness in either the court room or in a deposition, the scientific rationale for treatment as well as mechanics of a collision by Dr. Pete and others, I will also be teaching for five hours concerning how to demonstrate a soft tissue injury in court, providing a soft tissue workshop to attorneys (found in my PI workbook) and while working with the CA's, I will help them understand the mechanics of a whiplash and more. As a true bonus, Dr. Brad Hayes will be offering five hours of his insurance and proper coding seminar. This is worth the cost of the weekend itself. I hope to see you there.

Link to Lance Armstrong endorsing Chiropractic E-mail message this week .. Avoid fizzing burn out Our profession is truly multi faceted. I'm never surprised to finally get caught up with a myriad of paperwork just to find that the next day the pile is as high. Okay .. I may be exaggerating a little but you get my drift. Where in the course of the average day do you find time to relax, exercise, socialize or even study the latest data necessary to keep up with the chiropractic Jones'. It's difficult not to burn out or fizzle a bit. Every professional goes through stages of growth and attrition, this is only normal. What keeps chiropractors excited and burning bright is helping others. Some doctors get their embers brighter by attending technique or practice management seminars. Using the latest equipment or applying their most recent knowledge only lifts your spirits up as well as helps every patient receive their best care. It's awfully lonely if you are the sole chiropractor in your town or you tend to keep to yourself in a saturated area. Once in awhile it's necessary to spend the bucks and travel to a seminar or convention and plug yourself back into the socket of chiropractic energy. Chiropractic is not stagnant. It's a growing breathing entity that requires continued research and clinical experience to survive. We are all a part of it. Keep up with the latest trends and research to avoid the ravages of negativity and burn out. Burn out will surely arrive earlier than expected when survival tension erupts its dirty head under financial strain. Consider another facet of practice management .. finances. When was the last time you raised your fees or at least determined if your fees are within the acceptable range. If you are in the insurance networks, have you questioned the fees paid per code. Have you investigated proper coding, not up or down, just plain old ethical coding. I bet you'd be surprised at who is stealing from whom. You were probably under charging or not taking proper advantage of codes for services rendered. If you are not using insurance when was the last time you practiced your financial scripts or asked your business manager to report to you as if you were the patient. I bet they too have been too generous or allowed some patients to slide by. Lighten up and get the finances right in a caring and ethical manner Avoid early burn out by keeping the flames and passion of helping others foremost in your daily mission. Help yourself by maintaining confidence in your skills and ability to guide others. As mentioned at the top, the next Fernandez seminar is a good start to build confidence with your insurance skills, becoming a personal injury expert and caring for a vital and often lucrative component of patient care. If you are unable to attend and wish to know how to offer your local attorneys a soft tissue seminar purchase my PI Workbook via my webpage.
