Chiropractic EHR Software | Symmetry Spine and Wellness Center Dream Practice of the Month
Dr. Cynthia Boyd knows how to build a chiropractic dream practice: it takes hard work, a concerted team effort, and the expertise of Genesis chiropractic software and billing staff. “I have my dream practice,” says Dr. Boyd. “There are not many areas that need improvement.” The key to success for Dr.Boyd is balancing all aspects of practice management using Genesis cloud-based chiropractic software: “The [Genesis] system is amazing. I was 3,000 miles away for a month and I knew exactly what was going on.” Dr. Boyd doesn’t have time to micromanage her staff. With Genesis, she can easily track everyone’s individual performance anytime from anywhere. Dr. Boyd can also keep an eye on vital Key Performance Indicators, such as chiropractic billing, with the Genesis Radar. Best of all, Dr. Boyd does not have to change the way she runs her practice to optimize her workflow, complete her patient SOAP notes, and control compliance. As Dr. Boyd keeps growing her practice, she uses Genesis workflow engine to help manage teamwork among her staff and Genesis support team. The staff at Symmetry Spine and Wellness Center keeps the AR past 120 days low at 8 percent by consistently clearing the claims workbench while the weekly phone communications with her Practice Success Coach Heather Miller ensure her practice gets paid in full and on time. Coach Heather Miller: “Dr. Boyd is passionate about what she does and her business. She has found a balance with her practice and all of the other projects that she works on. Dr. Boyd trusts her employees to do their jobs without having to micromanage them. She has a great staff that works well together to get the job done and continue to grow the practice. In the end it all comes down to teamwork.”
Dr. Ernie Landi Shows You How To Grow a 1000 a Week Practice
Since the beginning of Chiropractic as we know it, the “Chiropractic Philosophy” has been the corner stone of our profession. Some chiropractors seem to know it, practice it, and explain it better than others. For that reason Genesis Chiropractic Software has sought out, and interviewed a living-legend. Someone who has a very strong understanding of the chiropractic philosophy, and who has been practicing it for the last 45 years (and still going strong). Of the 45 years Dr. Ernie Landi has been practicing, 20 of them were at over 2,600 patient visits a week, and the last 20 have been over 1000. When it comes to building a practice, he is certainly no stranger to success. Thanks to Genesis Chiropractic Software, now you can experience that same success! Check out our interview with the man himself, Dr. Ernie Landi… In this philosophy-packed webinar you will learn: – How Dr. Landi went from 700 visits per week to 1,700 visits per week in one weekend! – How Dr. Landi built a practice up to almost 2,500 patients per week on pure Chiropractic philosophy! – How you can build a huge 90% cash based clinic, just like Dr. Landi did! – and why chiropractor’s offices are exploding when they get their Chiropractic philosophy down! There is no wonder why this interview has been one Genesis Chiropractic Software’s most popular of all time. In the first two minutes of the interview you can see that Dr. Ernie Landi is not only one of the most knowledgable in the area of chiropractic philosophy, but he is also one of the most passionate chiropractors in the profession today!
Optimize your Chiropractic Office Workflow with Custom EHR software
Do you feel anxiety because your chiropractic Electronic Health Record system doesn’t match your clinic’s workflow? Your productivity can suffer if your documentation and forms are not integrated into your clinic’s workflow. And if your EHR software does not match your workflow your clinic’s profitability will also take a hit since you don’t get paid for documenting. Updating your chiropractic software for the ever-changing documentation requirements can be just as costly as customizing your forms since those need to be distinctive for your specialty and practice. Aside from those financial aspects, you also need an EHR system that is easy to use since you don’t have time to learn new software or enhance your limited technological skills. Ideally, your system should help you streamline your office and save you time on documentation. Features like scoring and computation should be included for increased accuracy of your patient documentation. Genesis chiropractic EHR increases efficiency and ease of use for you with customization options to match your clinic’s unique needs. You can make our EHR documentation (xDocs) entirely your own by integrating your old forms and practice logo. You can save time by using checkboxes and auto-population of patient data when creating new notes for existing patients. All new forms are automatically and instantly tied to your patient database. Best of all, you can create them while still table-side with your patient instead of having to catch up on documentation after office hours. You can also have your patients fill out their intake forms at your clinic’s patient kiosk to speed up and improve patient data collection. Genesis EHR Documentation (xDocs) also includes insurance verification forms, chiropractic notes, and a specialized package for chiropractors: the Chiropractic Bio Physics Suite. Contact your Profitability Manager to activate your xDocs within your Genesis EHR system.
Control Your Claim Flow Visually Using Radar Software
Do you worry about insurance claims payment delays? Lack of control over your chiropractic claims process causes inconsistent cash flow for your practice. If you cannot track and predict your cash flow easily you will have a hard time making your business profitable. You might even drive away patients when you are stressed out, which further hinders the growth of your chiropractic clinic. Ultimately, you cannot achieve any long-term profitability without sufficient growth. Since seeing patients is your priority, you can’t make time to micromanage each chiropractic billing aspect. Addressing the large amount of failing or rejected claims is virtually impossible with limited resources. Nevertheless, you need to follow up on your chiropractic claims to avoid reduced cash flow. Inconsistent and ineffective chiropractic billing performance can have many culprits including incompetent or untrained staff. But no one can adequately keep track and follow up on all underpaid and denied claims without effective chiropractic software. Not correcting these claims causes payment delays and can increase the percentage of your AR past 120 days. That’s why you need to track your active claims backlog and evaluate your chiropractic billing performance. Managing a chiropractic office is a balancing act of multiple Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), though. It can be challenging to prioritize tasks as many chiropractors tackle easy problems first before they focus on more complex matters. You need to keep your eyes on the big picture if you want to improve your claims workflow management and chiropractic billing performance. To accomplish this you need a centralized organization of tasks and performance. It is important to choose the right chiropractic software functionality. You should be able to look at multiple aspects of your practice at once, just like the snapshot Genesis’ Practice Health Monitor (a.k.a Radar) provides. To improve teamwork every member of your staff can also see this Radar chart on Genesis’ Home page every time they log on. You don’t need to waste time on compiling your practice stats, including claims status since data collection is automated. Furthermore, you and your staff can monitor trends to detect any problem areas before they cripple your practice performance. You can track your practice performance over time and measure any improvements with Genesis’ radar. But first you need to customize your workflow KPIs. Your Practice Success Coach then configures your radar to help you reach your goals.
Control Claim Flow Visually Using Radar Software
Do you worry about insurance claims payment delays? Peace of mind is hard to come by when you don’t have control over your chiropractic claims process since this affects your practice cash flow negatively. If you cannot track and predict your cash flow easily your business is doomed to die. To make matters worse, you drive away patients when you are stressed out, which further hinders the growth of your chiropractic clinic. Ultimately, you cannot achieve any long-term profitability without sufficient growth. Since seeing patients is your priority, you can’t make time to micromanage each chiropractic billing aspect. Addressing the large amount of failing or rejected claims is virtually impossible with limited resources. Nevertheless, you need to follow up on your chiropractic claims to avoid reduced cash flow for your practice. Inconsistent and ineffective chiropractic billing performance can have many culprits including incompetent or untrained staff. But no one can adequately keep track and follow up on all underpaid and denied claims without effective chiropractic software. However, not correcting these claims can affect the entire practice negatively since they will be forgotten and as such increase the percentage of your AR past 120 days. In fact, you need to track your active claims backlog in order to evaluate your chiropractic billing performance and AR. Managing a chiropractic office is a balancing act of multiple Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), though. It can be challenging to prioritize tasks as many chiropractors tackle easy problems first before they focus on more important matters. Instead of just putting out random fires you need to see the big picture consistently if you want to improve your claims workflow management and chiropractic billing performance. In order to do that you need a centralized organization of tasks and performance. Hence, it is vital to choose the right chiropractic software functionality. Naturally, your practice has a unique workflow that can only be supported by configurable and customizable chiropractic software. Yet, learning new chiropractic software can be a hassle many chiropractors would rather avoid. For that reason you should focus on ease of use for workflow management when evaluating possible chiropractic software solutions for your office. Moreover, all data should be displayed in an easy to digest way so you can complete a meaningful analysis on your own without wading through long and boring text reports. You should be able to look at multiple aspects of your practice at once, just like the snapshot Genesis’ Practice Health Monitor (a.k.a Radar) provides. To improve teamwork every member of your staff can also see this Radar chart on Genesis’ Home page every time they log on. You don’t need to waste time on compiling your practice stats, including claims status since data collection is automated. Furthermore, you and your staff can monitor trends to detect any problem areas before they cripple your practice performance. In order to track your practice performance over time and measure any improvements, you only need to customize your workflow KPIs. Genesis’ daily radar analysis and consistent follow ups in form of monthly Health Checks with your Coach further provide support to help you reach your goals.
Useful content vs. white noise
Knowing the difference between white noise and useful content for your target audience will basically determine the level of marketing success you can achieve with your Facebook fan page. Granted, one person’s trash is another individual’s treasure. Nevertheless, there are some lines that should not be crossed to avoid alienating potential as well as existing fans. What is White Noise? In social media terms, white noise can be defined as posts that fail to provide value to the receiver of the message. On Facebook, your fans, subscribers, and any member of your target audience are the receivers or your messages. As a result, they may either hide your status updates from their newsfeeds, or ‘un-like’ your page altogether if you pollute their news feeds with white noise. Examples of white noise on Facebook: • Sales pitches • Self promotion • Random updates lacking any relevance or value to your target audience What is useful content? In stark contrast to white noise, useful content helps your fans improve their lives in one or more ways. It adds value in form of advice, information, education and inspiration. In that sense, your status updates would show them how to do something better, solve a problem or reach certain goals. Needless to say, it makes sense to share tips that relate to your area of expertise. Examples of useful content on Facebook: • Tips on nutrition, health, wellness • Education on chiropractic treatment options for a specific health issue • Information about upcoming events, special offers at your practice Focus on what’s in it for your fans and give them a good reason to let your updates become a contribution to their news feeds.

Producer of “Doctored” honored as Dynamic Chiropractic’s 2012 Person ofthe Year
Jeff Hayes, the producer of the controversial documentary “Doctored,” has been honored as Dynamic Chiropractic’s 2012 Person of the Year for making massive waves with “the most-talked about health care documentary in the history of the chiropractic profession,” according to Dynamic Chiropractic. After premiering on Sept.21 the documentary filled theaters in Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta and Dallas for three weeks while earning mixed reviews from The New York Times, The Village Voice, and the Los Angeles Times. Nevertheless, the publicity garnered nationwide support way beyond the chiropractic field which resulted in the release of the documentary on DVD at the end of October. By mid-November more than 100,000 DVDs had been shipped which in turn created worldwide interest. “It is amazing to see the support from across the globe; oddly enough, though, it seems the U.S. is behind so many other countries in accepting this message,” Hayes said in an interview with Dynamic Chiropractic. “We’re asking all of the state chiropractic associations to make sure every congressperson in their state gets a copy of the DVD and a personal visit from a local chiropractor asking them to watch the film.” Based on the believe that one person can make a difference, Hayes also wants to inspire each chiropractor to show “Doctored” to patients visiting their practices or even give out copies as patient gifts to keep the positive momentum for the worldwide acceptance of chiropractic going. The “Doctored” DVD is available for purchase from chiropractic state associations and from the official Doctored online store.
“Doctored” the movie | the war on chiropractic
Several within our community have been talking about the Doctored movie so we thought we should share it with the rest of you. This is a compelling movie that dives deep into the war on natural medicine. Although, as a wellness practitioner in the trenches, many of the stories in this movie will most likely mirror those of your patients. The makers of this movie do a fantastic job articulating what we all know to be true. This movie acts as an incredible tool for educating patients and creating an overall awareness. “Is it because the “Medical Monopoly” spends millions a year attacking, ridiculing, and trying to discredit these natural therapies? The answers are almost beyond belief, until Doctored takes us into the courtroom with five chiropractors who, having been labeled “an unscientific cult,’ fought back and won a landmark verdict.” – www.doctoredthemovie.com
Aetna’s anti-chiropractic strategy exposed
Aetna follows one simple logic to deny the claims as not medically necessary regardless of any supporting records the clinic may send. Most of the time Aetna’s insurance rep will not explain why they consider the claim to be not medically necessary. Rule 1 : If no improvement is documented within the initial 2 weeks, additional chiropractic treatment is considered not medically necessary unless the chiropractic treatment is modified. Rule 2 : If no improvement is documented within 30 days despite modification of chiropractic treatment, continued chiropractic treatment is considered not medically necessary. Rule 3 : Chiropractic care in persons, whose condition is neither regressing nor improving, is considered not medically necessary. Why updating initial date of treatment is so very important when the care is closed and new care is started after few months for a new condition ? If the date is not updated, Aetna will assume that treatment is still being given for the illness that occurred several months before. Say for example if the initial treatment date is 1 year old, it proves that patient’s condition is not improving. If provider’s send records proving that the condition is improving, it is in contradiction with what is sent in claims because a treatment that improves patient’s condition does not require one year to cure.
