AS 201: 5 hours -Half Day - 8 am - 1 pm

AS 201 is a new course for 2006 and is designed from feedback and consultation with attendees of AS 101 regarding their needs and desires and is for previous attendees of AS 101 only.

AS 201 provides additional information that is beyond the scope and purpose of AS 101 and builds on what was presented in AS 101. AS 201 will aide in further implementing and expanding the medical model and is supplemented with additional financial, operational and management systems that will result in even greater profits and satisfaction. The purposes of AS 201 like AS 101 are to work less and earn more, while gaining greater freedom and joy in your practice.

Successful completion of AS 101 is a prerequisite for enrolling in AS 201. Since AS 201 requires a working knowledge of the topics and materials covered in AS 101 to fully incorporate the information presented in AS 201, prior attendance of AS 101 is essential.

The concepts taught during this workshop will result in increased income that will almost entirely drop to your bottom line.

AS 201 - Course Description

Topics included in this additional 5 hour presentation are:

1 - Learn how to develop accurate office protocols that are based on various policy publications concerning the accepted standard of care, for some of the more common medical services your office will encounter. Leave this workshop with a working knowledge and a concrete plan regarding the frequency of testing and care that is expected for these more common medical diagnoses.

2 - Learn about and get copies of the forms, fee slips and operational systems that will allow you to more efficiently and profitably manage the vision exam patient that needs further medical testing and follow-up after the vision exam. Operational systems for ongoing medical recall, reactivating non-compliant patients and the medical follow up and documentation necessary for missed appointments, no shows and cancellations will be covered.

3 - Learn how to design and implement a schedule templating and management system that will add accountability, maximize daily production, reduce waste, and increase profits for each day you work. These systems will maximize profits and allow you to work fewer days each year.

4 - Learn a Budgeting & Income Projection Process that will allow you to reach your goals for net profit and will enable you to determine the minimum number of days you will have to work to meet these goals.

5 - Learn about the numerous financial tools and indicators that banks and financial consultants use to evaluate your loan worthiness, to compare the current financial health of your practice to expected standards and to discover new ways to improve the financial health and profitability of your practice. These financial tools are used to actively manage your practice toward greater profitability by managing the factors that influence profits the most.

6 - Additional and more complicated coding and billing examples will test and refine your knowledge of how to code complex visits more accurately and profitably. Several examples will be presented from Dr Michael's own practice and other examples will be gathered from AS 201 attendees - so here is your chance to get additional answers to cases that are confusing you the most.

7 - Understanding the audit process - we will be auditing specific patient visits provided from Dr Michael's own practice and by attendees of AS 201. These audits will be designed to mimic a real one and will educate you on what to look for in your patient records so that you will be in better compliance with accurate coding and documentation requirements. This exercise will increase your knowledge of the auditing process to help further decrease your audit risk and will bring you into better coding compliance.

Each workshop attendee will receive:

1 - A complete reference manual including all documents reviewed during the workshop

2 - Each office will receive a CD containing several word and excel documents that will enhance the financial impact of the medical model in your practice

3 - 60 days of e-mail support beginning immediately after the course to assist in implementing the changes discussed in AS 201 into your practice, with the option to extend this support later at a reduced rate because of your attending the workshop

4 - Complimentary Continental Breakfast

5 - Complimentary AM Break Service
