101: All Day Workshop
AS 101: 12 hours - All Day 8 am -
8 pm
AS 101 IS NOT JUST ANOTHER CODING
AND BILLING WORKSHOP, IT IS MUCH MORE.
Other presenters advertise that they provide a
comprehensive course on medical optometric services
yet Advanced Strategies 101
is the nation's only complete A to Z practice
management course that is designed specifically
for optometric medical services. The purposes
of this comprehensive workshop are to work less
and earn more, while gaining greater freedom and
joy in your practice.
Advanced Strategies is an integrated approach that
is designed to implement the medical model in
ways that will dramatically improve your practice's
financial position and your practice satisfaction.
The concepts taught during this workshop will
result in increased income that almost entirely
drops to your bottom line.
Most practices notice a 20-30% increase in net
income after implementation of the workshop's
concepts. Practices that bring all key people
together to the workshop at one time report quicker
and greater results than quoted at increasing
net income. Advanced Strategies presents several
significant paradigm shifts during the course
that are very different and more comprehensive
than you have heard before. Course participants
say this best.
"Our office already used the medical model
and so I wasn't sure that I would get much out
of the course but I got way more out of the course
than I ever hoped. Advanced Strategies was very
different from traditional billing and coding
seminars. I have never been given this type of
information before and it was so essential to
increasing profits."
-- Hale M. Kell, OD, Louisville,
CO
"Advanced Strategies was presented in such
a way that it created a big "paradigm shift"
in our practice that was well worth the expense.
We can all get ideas from different sources but
it is the logical organization of these ideas
along with a concrete plan of action that differentiates
what you do from other lower cost and less impact
presentations."
-- Rich Ryan, OD, Spokane, WA
AS 101 - Course Description
Topics included in the comprehensive 12-hour presentation
are:
1 - Learn what market forces are currently shaping
the future of vision care and why you should have
urgency for converting to the medical model and
why if you do not how ultimately your future success
and survival is at stake.
2 - Learn how to successfully integrate the medical
model into your vision care practice in ways that
will increase net income, patient acceptance and
will stop the hemorrhage of free medical care
most ODs give away under the vision exam. Discover
how our training results in common mistakes that
substantially lower your net profit.
3 - Learn how to find more medical care in your
current patient base that you could see for workups
and follow-up thereby increasing net profits.
4 - Learn how medical insurance companies and
Medicare price your services and how to price
your own services so that you no longer leave
money on the table that they would legitimately
pay you.
5 - Learn how to determine which insurance companies
you should be a provider for and which ones you
should avoid. The best plans pay over 3 times
as much as the bad plans. Discover why it's not
in your best interests to sign up for just any
plan in order to see patients.
6 - Learn how to become a provider on medical
plans even when they say you can't join. Discover
the primary reasons they say you can't join and
how you can overcome them to get on the good plans.
7 - Learn why as an OD you will commonly get paid
40-60% less reimbursement by medical insurance
companies for the same work, when compared to
a MD. Discover how to get paid like the MD for
your services, dramatically increasing net income.
8 - Learn how to structure and properly administer
a time of service discount program that it is
legal and that will help keep your cash pay patients
happy.
9 - Learn the basics of the CPT and ICD-9 coding
systems and how medical necessity is applied in
providing medical services. Discover how these
different standards complicate the successful
implementation of the medical model into your
vision care practice.
10 - Learn the subtle nuances of the EM coding
system and the documentation required and how
this knowledge will ultimately increase your level
of EM coding and improve patient care. Discover
why the so called experts are wrong when they
say that ODs should not be billing higher levels
of EM service.
11 - Learn about the proper use of modifiers with
specific examples of how they are used in normal
practice, enabling you to get paid for the care
we normally give away for free by not understanding
their use.
12 - Learn how to properly work up and monitor
a variety of common and uncommon medical conditions.
Learn about the frequency of testing, the standard
of care for follow-up and how to properly code
these visits. Learn about the audit controls or
documentation that should be included in the patient
record for each condition and where you can go
to find out more about these issues via LCDs.
This knowledge will improve patient care and has
a positive impact on reimbursement.
13 - Learn about audit triggers, how to perform
self-audits and more about red flags to avoid
that will help to reduce your audit risk while
legitimately maximizing opportunities for improved
reimbursement.
14 - Learn how to use the audit review sheets
in you manual that were developed for each medical
procedure you might code for in an optometric
setting. These audit review sheets will help you
to properly document, bill and get maximally reimbursed
for each service.
15 - You have my pledge to stay after the course
ends for as long as it takes to answer any questions
afterward.
ATTENTION: Previous attendees
have again suggested that I strongly recommend
beforehand that it is wise to bring all doctors,
the office manager and the billing person together
at one time so that all are on the same
page afterward. There are many paradigm shifts
and there is a lot of information to digest in
12 hours of presentation and discussion and so
including your key people in this process will
ensure that your implementation and profits will
come more easily, quickly and that your return
on investment will be greater.
Each workshop attendee will receive:
1 - A complete reference manual including all
documents reviewed during the workshop
2 - Each office receives several Excel spreadsheets:
a) Used to analyze and set your office fees (comparable
to other software programs costing you several
hundreds of dollars each year) so that you can
now capture all available reimbursements
b) Used to determine what insurance companies
will pay you for your services so that you verify
payments to see that they are correct and also
know which plans pay the best
3 - Files containing the Correct Coding Edits
to avoid to reduce your audit risk
4 - Electronic copies of the Federal Register
that outlines the Medicare Reimbursement Process
that most medical companies now use for calculating
your payments
5 - Patient exam forms needed in converting more
to a medical office
6 - 60 days of e-mail support after the workshop
to aid in implementing the changes needed along
with the option to extend this support later at
a reduced rate because of your attending the workshop
7 - Complimentary Continental Breakfast
8 - Complimentary AM and PM Break Service
9 - Complimentary Lunch
