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
