Let me challenge you today on a vital issue in regards to the future of chiropractic.
Be forewarned – unlike my usual writings, you will find no specific advice on proper coding or documentation. There are no billing “secrets” shared within the paragraphs below. Nothing will be found that will help you discover find errors you are making in the area of collections. In fact, not a shred of practice management advice will be given.
Despite the curious lack of advice on my part, today’s column may have the potentially BIGGEST IMPACT on your practice – if you act quickly – than any or all of the items above.
Unless your head has been firmly planted in the sand, you are undoubtedly aware of the mysterious frenzy over health care reform that has invaded Capitol Hill. While specifics are a bit lacking right now, one thing is certain: as chiropractors, we must seize the opportunity that has been placed before us to secure our future.
In the wake of upcoming changes, we all now have the ideal moment to voice our opinions to President Obama and our representative politicians.
Do not delay! Do not miss your chance! Most of all, do not stand by while our chiropractic future slips out of our hands.
A simple letter will do, but there is so much more that can be done for those who wish to get involved.
To give credit where it is due, this column was inspired by Dr. Gerry Clum, President of Life Chiropractic College West who has implemented a simple, straightforward, strategic plan to secure our chiropractic future.
Here’s my challenge and your three-step “To-Do List”
- View Dr. Clum’s plan for securing our future on the LifeWest website .
- Write your letter to President Obama and your state legislators
- Persuade ALL your DC friends to get involved by directing them here and/or to the LifeWest website for more info
That’s it — three easy steps to secure your future, your patients’ future and the future of the chiropractic profession.
Until next time,
Tom
