Bluegrass Dental News - Obamacare Edition

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and your year has gotten off to a great start.  Now that the great Polar Vortex of 2014 has come and gone (but apparently is coming back again), I am sure everyone is finally getting back into the swing of things.  The holidays, combined with the weather, certainly delayed my start for 2014.  So, let me apologize that I have not been able to make it around as regularly as usual.  Fortunately, this has given me ample time to prepare for this year and ask myself what Henry Schein and I can do to help you reach your goals for 2014.

With this New Year comes a changing health care landscape, as well as a fear of the unknown that seems to be coming along with it.  Do not fret though, for this is why you do business with me, or for some of you, why you should do business with me!  I have a number of resources at my disposal that can help you navigate these changes successfully, minimizing your stress, and maximizing your profits.  The following are just a few examples:

• Henry Schein Practice Analysis – By far, the most important tool in my bag, the HSPA will increase your production by an average of $100,000!  By analyzing your practice’s data, I can and will help you and your staff implement a few minor changes that are guaranteed to increase your production without seeing a single new patient.
  
  
• Coding – Another area where I can be of service that is tied into the HSPA is proper coding.  Improper coding can cost you hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars every year, neither of which is good. 
  
  
• Marketing & New Patients – A healthy practice should be seeing an average of 25 new patients per month, per doctor.  I will help you set, and attain your new patient goal, as well as develop and implement your marketing strategy.  After all, when it comes to marketing, whatever you are doing, or not doing, is the message you are conveying to your patients and the community.
  
  
• Compliance & Consulting – As a certified OSHA and HIPAA trainer, and CE provider, I can help your practice stay up to date in these two mandatory governmental regulations.  Along with this, Henry Schein partners with a number of consultants specializing in varying services that will help you take your practice to the next level, and reduce the stress that comes with managing a business.
  
  

Of course, this is merely a sampling of what I can offer you and your dental practice.  With big changes come big opportunities, and there is no time like the present to let me help you.  When you are ready to take advantage of everything I can offer, please feel free to contact me to discuss your plans and goals.  You may also visit Henry Schein’s Dental Business Solutions website for more information and please feel free to connect with me through social media as well.  I wish everyone a prosperous 2014, and I look forward to working with each of you.  And, as always, Go Cats!
