This week, we decided to chat with Mia Neuse, L.Ac., a licensed acupuncturist and herbalist who works in the Montavillla area near the base of Mt. Tabor. Neuse is a graduate of a long time member of the East Portland Chamber of Commerce and the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine.
As you create an item or a service, think of what other products or services may be offered to complement and augment it. What else do your clients or customers desire? What other services can you give them to create additional streams of income for your company? For example, a chiropractic office may offer therapeutic massages, yoga courses or nutritional supplements. These services and merchandises aren"t Chiropractic services but they are something and related to health that chiropractic patients might be interested in.
Abbreviations - If you"re audited, don"t count on a chiropractor reviewing your records who will understand what "PR L" or "ASRA" or even "Sublux" means. For that matter, even just a non-chiropractor may have issue with non specific abbreviations like "PT." Did you send the patient for part time or Physical Therapy work? The auditor isn"t going to try to translate your abbreviations, particularly if a key isn"t present that describes new patients. A great SOAP note with one abbreviation that is unidentifiable can make you neglect your audit. Therefore, make certain that you"re spelling it out definitely (another advantage to EMR, push the button and also the word comes out!) or that you provide a key that certainly translates all your abbreviations.
There is no secret that when there is a rise in the amount of patients in your practice, you"ll earn more income. The issue is attempting to get more people to come to your clinic or practice. The market does have something to do with the number of people who come to yourself, unless the people have health insurance that covers chiropractic. Otherwise, folks are just so busy working they don"t have time to quit and see yourself for treatment or an adjustment. If this is your difficulty, you should learn to just how to get more patients. It is really about marketing for chiropractors that will get yourself where you need to be.

JJ: My e-mail address pays homage to my favorite celebrity Abe Vigoda. There"s some thing about his deadpan delivery and hunched pose that intrigues me. I also respect Art Carney, Hal Holbrook, Bea Arthur, Elaine Stritch, Tom Hanks, and Betty White. Again, I could go on and on!
You do not just have to sell your products and services. Many Chiropreneurs have just one thing that they sell to their Patients. However, the sales don"t have to quit there. Any Chiropreneur can sell services or associated products to their Patients.
If you"re sick as well as tired of the "status quo" lifestyle of the day-to-day grind and know something better exists, now is the time to make it happen! Regardless of income level and your status in your profession, it is still possible to take action and never look back. What"s it you really desire? If you are searching for freedom from the daily grind, it is best to begin focusing on what you need to do and take the following measure. Everyone makes errors and you also will too, if you don"t take any risks but you will never change your present existence.
