Know Your Practice "By The Numbers"
|
Doctor, is your practice ‘healthy,’ from a numbers standpoint? Can you easily answer the following questions:
- What is your monthly production and collection?
- What adjustments are you making to those numbers?
- Are your practice percentages healthy – for supplies, salaries, equipment, etc?
- How much does really it cost to run your practice?
Attend this seminar with financial reports in hand, (or in your head), and find out whether your practice numbers are within a ‘healthy’ range, or need your attention. You’ll get practical advice not only on setting healthy goals, but suggestions on how to achieve them.
(And don’t worry, your information will not be shared with other members of the group.) This seminar truly has something for everyone who really wants to know their practice ‘by the numbers’.

The Basics of Successful Treatment Planning
|
Wouldn’t it be nice if treatment planning was just about presenting the best treatment for each patient! But of course it’s not. Successful treatment planning involves everyone in your practice, from the person who first speaks to the patient on the phone, to the clinical team, to the Financial Coordinator, to Scheduling Coordinator… it’s a total team effort!
Come to this workshop prepared to take a realistic look (through chair-side role playing in a small group) at how you, and others, really ‘present the case.’ Are you projecting clinical ability, or are you building trust? (The best answer, of course, is ‘both’.) What is your Assistant’s role? Is everyone on your team on the ‘same page’ when it comes to:
- new instruments and equipment
- room turnover
- documentation
- how to answer questions
- preparing a work-able financial pan
- making follow-up phone calls
- a recare plan?
In other words, are you doing everything you can be and should be to avoid your patients feeling ‘buyer’s remorse" and calling to cancel their treatment?
Many doctors are well-trained in treatment planning, but not necessarily in securing the patient ‘buy in’. Don’t make this common mistake. This workshop will show you a better way!

Effective Chairside Scheduling
|
How do you schedule effectively for everyone – the doctor, the hygienist, the patient – as your practice grows? Topics in this workshop include the impact on your schedule of:
- New equipment
- Room roll-over
- Emergencies
- Staffing
- Scheduling to goal
And much more! When done right, the schedule flows, leading to high morale and good productivity follow. When done wrong, stress and fatigue are inevitable. Don’t let that happen to you or your team. Learn to ‘schedule for success’!

Fee Balancing
|
"Just tell me what the others are charging and I'll set my own fees."
Have you ever said, or thought, that. If so, you could be making a huge mistake for your practice. Fee balancing is not about what ‘feels right’ or what the guy down the road is charging. It’s about knowing what it costs to run your practice, knowing what changes are occurring in the insurance industry that directly affect you, and it’s about the consequences of NOT balancing your fees correctly in terms of lost productivity and profitability. A great seminar for the doctor and financial coordinator to attend together.

Correct Coding: How Well Are You Doing?
|
Thousands of dollars a year can be ‘lost’ in your practice due to incorrect or outdated coding. And no wonder – CDT codes are now revised every two years, making it absolutely essential to stay on top of changes, additions, deletions and revisions.
Do you and your team use these codes correctly? The insurance company can only quote how the policy is written and nto what treatment to use. Does your practice fall victim to being led to use a code for payment by the insurance rather than for provided treatment? Is adequate training in place, or are you just ‘assuming’ that everyone in your office knows what they need to know?
Attend this seminar and find out the common mistakes – and ways to correct them – that every practice needs to know.
