The Body Electric Series: Pain Relief using Semiconductor Technology

The Body Electric Series: Pain Relief using Semiconductor Technology

Presented by Tim Smith, Avazzia, Dallas, Texas


Tim Smith is a pioneer in the semiconductor industry, with decades of experience designing the chips that make feasible everything from cell phones to intercontinental missiles.  Upon retirement, Smith looked for a new frontier to conquer, and found a wealth of meaningful information in the emerging field of bio-magnetic medicine—literally, using the natural fields that flow in human tissue as an agent in relieving discomfort. Sensing that chiropractors could be natural proponents of these new technologies once they were communicated clearly, Smith formed a company and developed state of the art products that serve mankind, by easing one pain at a time. Listen as Smith recounts his discovery and development process. Learn how you can use these products to grow your business.

Nutritional Balancing

Nutritional Balancing

Presented by Lawrence Wilson, MD



The secret of nutritional balancing is the way in which several components are combined for each individual to balance and strengthen the body and mind.  These include a diet for one’s metabolic type, the proper drinking water, a healthful lifestyle, nutritional supplements used in a unique way, detoxification with infrared saunas and colon cleansing, and a specific meditation-observation exercise.

Nutritional balancing science:
  • Is a new science of healing that helps to gently detoxify and restore the body and mind to its fullest potential.
  • Is as effective for healing most mental and emotional disorders as it is for many physical ones.
  • Removes all toxic metals and hundreds of toxic chemicals as well.
  • Uses only natural substances and natural healing methods.
  • Removes deep-seated, latent and sub-clinical conditions.
  • Is predictive, preventive, safe and cost-effective.
  • A whole systems and thoroughly holistic approach to health care.

Nutritional balancing is a synthesis and unique application of principles from many healing sciences, including:
  • Nutritional sciences
  • Naturopathy
  • Western medicine
  • Cybernetics and systems theory
  • The stress theory of disease
  • Homeopathy and chiropractic principles
  • Oriental sciences such as macrobiotics

How to Beat Medical Necessity Denials and Recoupment

How to Beat Medical Necessity Denials and Recoupment

By Keith Pendleton, JD, Tim Warren, DC, Kevin Sharp, DC, and Gregg Friedman, DC.



Whether you are a chiropractor, rehab specialist, therapist or other care provider who provides extended courses of care, this presentation is a must.
 
The program will be presented by 4 industry experts including Keith Pendleton, JD, Tim Warren, DC, Kevin Sharp, DC, and Gregg Friedman, DC.
 
The program will address how you can easily beat medical necessity denials and recoupment through very simple application of law... in this case, the law of medical necessity for reimbursement purposes.
 
The law of medical necessity is not difficult.  In fact, once known, it can save the average provider tens of thousands of dollars in lost revenues, this year and every year thereafter.  It's a principle which has been proven time and time again.
 
As you will discover, however, this webinar isn't just knowing the legal standard of medical necessity, but showing it as well.  During the webinar you will learn invaluable information for how you can better document your care, consistent with the legal standard, and thereby get paid for what you do, while at the same time avoid recoupment ... and worse.

Collections Down in 2009? Part 2

Here's the Simplest, Quickest Way to Improve Collections in 2010 - Part 2

-Presented by Keith Pendleton, JD, Reimbursement Specialist and Health Care Attorney, ProviderLAW Corporation



Our exciting mini-series on collections continues!

In Part 1 of our mini-series, we addressed one of the quickest and simplest ways that you as a health care provider can improve your collections in 2010 – by fixing the Assignment & Lien Process in your office.

In Part 2, we turn our attention to “nuts and bolts.”  Part 2 builds on the basic foundation concepts presented in Part 1.

The point is that providers everywhere seem to be saying the same thing – “In 2009, my collections went down 10%,” or “In 2009, my collections went down 30%.”  In some cases, we’ve heard providers reporting drops in collections rates of 40%-50%!!!

Do you want to stop this decline and start reversing this trend?  If so, this special 2-Part Series is a MUST.

The 2-part webinar is part of the Grow Your Practice and Get Paid series.  Grow Your Practice and Get Paid is a nationwide series being promoted by the ChiroCode Institute, Find-A-Code.com, American Medical Billing Association, Medicfusion EMR, and National Injury Diagnostics.  Others are welcome.

-Presented by Keith Pendleton, JD, Health Care Attorney and Reimbursement Specialist



In the waning days of December, 2009, the US Department of Health and Human Services released its rules for 'meaningful use' of an electronic health record/electronic medical record (EHR/EMR).

Collections Down in 2009? Part 1

Here's the Simplest, Quickest Way to Improve Collections in 2010 - Part 1


-Presented by Keith Pendleton, JD, Reimbursement Specialist and Health Care Attorney, ProviderLAW Corporation


Providers everywhere seem to be saying the same thing – “In 2009, my collections went down 10%,” or “In 2009, my collections went down 30%.”  In some cases, we’ve heard providers reporting drops in collections rates of 40%-50%!!!


Do you want to stop this decline and start reversing this trend?  If so, this special 2-Part Series is a MUST.


For the past 12 years, reimbursement specialist and health care attorney Keith Pendleton, JD has been helping providers (chiropractors, therapists, rehab specialists, surgeons, and others) get paid based on simple, powerful laws and techniques. 


One of the simplest, quickest way to improve collections IMMEDIATELY is to fix a process that is broken in many practices – a process that many providers don’t even know is broken.  The process relates to your assignment & lien document and protocol.


In this 2-part series, Keith will explain exactly WHY the assignment & lien document is so critical.  He will explain how it serves as the core platform for getting paid PROMPTLY and IN-FULL.  He will introduce the topic of Health Care UCC Liens – a body of law that most providers do not know or understand.


Most importantly, he will explain what you need to start doing to stop the decline in collections and start reversing the trend.


The 2-part webina
r is part of the Grow Your Practice and Get Paid series.  Grow Your Practice and Get Paid is a nationwide series being sponsored and promoted by the ChiroCode Institute, Find-A-Code.com, American Medical Billing Association, Medicfusion EMR, and National Injury Diagnostics.  Others are welcome.

$44,000 in Stimulus Money?

$44,000 in Stimulus Money? How Do I Get It and How Quickly?

-Keith Pendleton, JD Co-Hosted by Medicfusion EMR and The ChiroCode Institute



Medicfusion EMR, together with The ChiroCode Institute, Tipology, American Medical Billing Association, Find-A-Code.com, and National Injury Diagnostics are proud to announce this latest addition to Grow Your Practice and Get Paid – a continuing seminar series.

If you work for a health care practice (any specialty) or represent a consultant, third-party billing company, or EMR developer, we strongly encourage you to attend.

In this special 1-hour webinar, co-hosted by Medicfusion EMR and ChiroCode, we look at whether – and how – individual health care providers can potentially qualify for the $19 Billion in stimulus money which the Federal Government has allocated for the health care industry.  As part of the stimulus, health care providers who adopt EMR systems that meet certain qualifications are slated to receive up to $44,000.

Participants who attend will learn how they can more effectively assess the likelihood of whether their particular EMR system – or one which they’re considering – may qualify them for up to $44,000 in stimulus money.  We also introduce basic strategies for how health care providers can increase reimbursements in conjunction with EMR usage.

The sponsors Grow Your Practice and Get Paid cordially invite all health care providers, suppliers, organizations, billing companies, and consultants to join us in sponsoring and promoting this exciting series.

Special Joint Announcement by AMBA, ChiroCode, Medicfusion EMR and others

Special Joint Announcement by AMBA, ChiroCode, Medicfusion EMR and others


Five organizations are announcing their support for a new nationwide campaign to help health care providers, suppliers, and other affiliates grow their companies and get paid. The sponsors include: the American Medical Billing Association (AMBA), ChiroCode Institute, Find-A-Code.com, Medicfusion EMR, and National Injury Diagnostics.

Grow Your Practice and Get Paid is a new, nationwide series being commenced initially in Texas by ProviderLAW Corporation and presented by Keith Pendleton, JD and Kelli Moore. The program will be covering a series of payment issues that plague health care providers of all specialties on a daily basis – issues that in many cases, providers simply don’t know how to handle. The program is designed for surgery facilities, chiropractors, therapists of all types (including physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, etc.), rehab specialties, diagnostic facilities, emergency care facilities, hospitals, and third-party billing companies.

The nationwide series will be covering in detail Health Care UCC Lien Law – a powerful law which exists in every state and which came to light most recently in a series of newsletters published by Keith Pendleton. It will also be covering the topic of Insurance Misrepresentation* – an issue that affects ALL practices on a daily basis.

The purpose of the webinar will be to highlight the points which will be covered in this exciting new nationwide series.

* An example of Insurance Misrepresentation is where an insurance payer says there is coverage or benefits, and then later tries to tell you there was no coverage and benefits. Providers who follow a few simple steps have been highly successful in getting paid in such instances, despite the insurance “disclaimer” you hear every time you call a payer.
