Add Multiple Specialties to your Practice
How to Add Multiple Specialties using Genesis Chiropractic Software Multiple Specialties can be added to your practice with Genesis Chiropractic Software. How? Watch the free webinar offered on this page and Jason Barnes will explain it to you. The first question to ask yourself is… What sort of practice do you have now? Is it pain based or wellness based. If your practice is pain based, then you should add more specialties that will help your patients with their pain. Maybe you should add a Masseuse, a Physical Therapist or an MD who would prescribe pain relieving drugs. If your practice is wellness based, then determine what specialties will help you. The key is to offer more to your existing patients using your existing marketing efforts. What you don’t want to do is to add a specialty that needs new marketing to bring in a completely new patient base. Do research on what other specialties are lucrative and determine their rate of reimbursement for their CPT codes. If a specialty has difficulty getting reimbursed from insurance companies then perhaps they aren’t a good fit.

See Your Office From Anywhere in the World
How Genesis Chiropractic Software Allows You to “See Your Office” From Anywhere in the World Having a relief doctor come in and take care of your patients is a necessary part of today’s Chiropractic office environment. We all need time away to recharge, go on vacation with family, or just get a little time for ourselves. The question becomes- what happens in a busy office while you are away? Let’s take a look at a great example from one of our dedicated users. Dr. Michael Lagana is an example of a Chiropractor enjoying tremendous success in using Genesis Chiropractic Software. Dr. Lagana owns the Backsmart Wellness Center in Edison, NJ and has been using the software for over 6 years. His integrated office offers chiropractic care, acupuncture, massage therapy, physical therapy, and hypnotherapy for those who want an alternative approach to weight loss or help to stop smoking. Dr. Lagana recently took a trip to Italy and was able to see any number of metrics about his office even while he was away. He says, “I was able to not only log in to my system to see who was in my office, but how many patients I saw, what I billed that day, and what the status of my office was while I was in another country.” For Dr. Lagana, this eliminated the stress that often comes with running your own practice. He didn’t have to wait until he was home to find out whether the practice was performing optimally. Instead, with Genesis, he had his practice at his fingertips… even a world away. He loves the fact that he doesn’t have to worry about office cash flow or patient collections. Everything is within easy reach and his staff is able to manage these issues without him getting involved. With Genesis, a simple click provides detailed practice metrics. Without even stepping foot in his office, Dr. Lagana knows with 100% certainty whether his staff is performing all of the tasks that are required to ensure his practice remains successful. He can see if a task has been missed, his front-desk staff forgot to make a follow-up call, or if an exam had to be re-scheduled. No matter where they are in the world, the Genesis Software for Chiropractors gives clients all the information they need about their office, allowing them the opportunity to actually relax and enjoy that time away from the office. Contact us today to see how we can help you achieve confidence and peace of mind the next time you need time away.
Tips to Reduce Patient Balances
Reduce Patient Balances with Genesis Chiropractic Software Patient balances… what are yours for your practice? How do you know who has a patient balance and who doesn’t? How do you keep patient balances from accruing? Did you know that your patients undervalue your chiropractic care if they don’t pay anything? The monetary value helps when they need to be constantly reminded of the value of chiropractic until they become raving fans and they refer everyone they know to your practice. This is a great idea but how do you find out what they owe you? Several tools for determining your patient balances are built into Genesis Chiropractic Software. You can determine your Accounts Receivable Breakdown, Account Balances and Patients with reports. Then you can set notifications to pop up on the Scheduler when your patient checks in, so they make a payment each visit. These tools have been integrated into your Genesis Chiropractic Software, so please put them to good use. Use these tools to reduce your outstanding patient balances. Why? Because happy patients and happy staff makes a practice owner very happy. Watch this Free Webinar to find out more from Jason Barnes, and to see exactly how it works.

This is something that every single practice we deal with has to deal with in one way, shape or form, and how you approach it matters has been what we found. So today we’re actually going to talk mostly about an approach, and then we’re actually going to get into some of the specifics of how you can actually implement a solution within Genesis. So we’re actually going to get started. So I’ve done this before in a few other presentations, we’re gonna define the problem, measure it, address it and see what you can do to actually prevent it moving forward. And that’s patients who don’t pay don’t value the service. Now, “Not going to value the service,” that’s one thing. And it’s something we really want if in the bud, however they don’t value the service and they stop coming, that’s okay. If they don’t value the service and they keep coming yet they don’t pay, how do you know about it? Are you detecting that, and what are the mechanisms in place to take care of those situations? That’s with active patients, but what about balances where you can’t actually reach a patient? We’re going to address that today, too. Measure it. How do you know how big of an issue this is for your practice? We are going to go through the different ways that you should be looking at that. What do you do when somebody’s got a balance? How are you notified? What is it that you and your staff have in place right now to actually tackle this problem when a balance exists? And we’re going to go all the way through from cash patients, to insurance patients, to ones that switch over. And we want to make sure they actually have some policies and procedures in place that you can utilize to make sense of all that, but you don’t have to sit there and monitor and scrutinize. There are ways of actually setting this up where you can you can check to see if these things are working from the desk. And finally and most importantly what is the set up? Are you set up to prevent patient balances from occurring? And if there is going to be a patient balance because I don’t want to be naive thinking there aren’t going to be any, what are we going to do from keeping them from growing from small to large and perhaps even jeopardizing your practice? And we’ll do some toggling back and forth today as we actually get into each issue with the Genesis system and actually show you those things. So defining the problem is actually finding the patients with balances. That’s the problem in it of itself — locating those patients that have balances. Everybody’s got a report. I don’t know any of our competitors out there that don’t have a report. However now you have stumbled into, “I’ve got a report of people with balances, what am I going to do, what is the mechanism of actually following up?” And I’m going to keep going over that particular point over and over again is what is the mechanism to actually do something about it? So we want to find those patients early, we want to find them often. Whenever there is a problem we want to make sure the staff at every single step knows about it, and most importantly and I put it in parentheses at the end here, “(Don’t treat for free).” Most of the practices that we work with have hearts as big as Texas and that’s great. And if you want to treat for free I don’t want to stop you at that, but that’s not the situation I run into. We want to keep balances from growing and we want to handle balances when they actually happen. We want…the problem we’re trying to solve is, “What do I do when I actually identify it? What are the ways I’m going to engage a patient etc.?” So we’re going to get into that. I really hope that the noise behind me is not coming through too loudly. There’s about a half dozen leaf blowers going on 25 feet from me. So…and here’s where we start to get into the nitty-gritty. We’re actually going to start measuring these problems, and we’re going to go in order here: Total Patient Balance – What is it for your practice? And this is where we’re going to toggle over and here’s Genesis. The home screen looks like your practice when you log in. Where does one go to see what your
Increase Patient Retention with ZingIt Solutions
ZingIt is Integrated into Genesis Chiropractic Software As a Chiropractor you know that if you don’t keep in touch with your patients and communicate with them, then they will appreciate the value of your chiropractic care less and less. They need to be constantly reminded of the value of chiropractic until they become raving fans and they refer everyone they know to your practice. This is a great idea but how do you keep in contact with your patients? People don’t answer their phones very much nowadays, but they’ll look at a text message instantly. Are you texting your patients? ZingIt has an online system that makes it easy to communicate with your patients. Let them send your messages to your patients and then you can concentrate on giving them the best patient care. These tools have been integrated into your patient accounts, so please put them to good use. Use ZingIt to reduce No Shows, reduce No Future Appointments, send appointment reminders, send birthday messages and inform your patients of something special happening at your office. Why? Because happy patients and happy staff makes a practice owner very happy. Watch this Free Webinar to find out more from Jason Barnes, and to see exactly how it works.

Read the transcript: Jason: My name’s Jason, I’m the chief operations officer here at Genesis Chiropractic software and I’ve been working with the company for seven years now, and Prior to this, technology was the space that I worked in. I don’t come from a background of healthcare administration or healthcare consulting or advising. And so, from my perspective, scaling technology was always a part of how I got up and spent every day of my professional life. And to that end, I started working with a company that started supporting chiropractors and the very unique needs of the chiropractic world. Now, I’m not suggesting that other specialties, other types of clinicians don’t have really unique needs but focusing on these it’s been fun and understanding the one specific difference that I see with chiropractic is that it needs to be followed up on so vehemently. You’ve got to work so diligently to help chiropractic patients realize that they need to commit in order to get the full benefit of the chiropractic care that’s being offered. And to that end, we are going to talk about how, just our software solution alone, we know is inadequate to help. And today we wanna tell the story of how it is we partner with others and why we partner with others to do that. Joining me today is Steve Weber from Zingit. Now, Steve has been one of those partners, and certainly not the only one, but one that we really have enjoyed working with. And that doesn’t just go for you, Steve, that goes for the entire organization, folks over there that have helped us take a platform that’s great in a lot of ways that we think, and we’re grateful that a lot of our clients think of it, and create something that’s better for clients and for chiropractic and for those practices that know without great technology, they can’t leverage a fantastic team and an awesome service to create an experience that can change communities. So, today, we are focusing on how those relationships take off and how a platform like Genesis is used to actually help all of us accomplish that. So, Steve, thank you for joining us today and we’ll get underway. Steve: Well, I, certainly, appreciate being here. It has been a pleasure as well working with the team at Genesis. And having spoken to loads of offices on a daily basis I can tell you that from a user standpoint, clients of Genesis speak very, very highly of the team and how the software works. So, we’re happy to be associated with Genesis and more importantly, just from my standpoint, I love working with chiropractors because they’re out there to really help patients and we want to help them do that. And there are some significant challenges that chiropractic offices and their staff face every day. So, what I wanted to do is, first of all, share a little bit about myself. Like you Jason, I’ve been here six, almost seven years now. And before that I was in the healthcare space but mainly not chiropractic, but more selling to hospitals and medical offices for many years. So, when I joined here we really wanted to make a difference, and that’s what we’re looking to do with the offices that we work with. Partner with solutions that are industry-leading like the Genesis Chiropractic Platform, their software, but then also provide a solution that everybody faces every day which is patients just don’t answer the phone anymore. So, you can call until you’re blue in the face but they just don’t answer the phone. So, when we first started working with Genesis, Jason that was, I wanna say almost four years ago now. Jason: Yeah. We had the debate the last call we’re on it. I think four years is what it looked like from our first client comming on board. Steve: Yeah. Very beginning of 2013, so in a month it will be four years. So I don’t know, do you want to flip over to my presentation or what are they seeing on the screen? Jason: Yeah, right now they’re seeing what I’m sharing which is just a couple of questions and so I’ll finish a little bit more of the set up Steve, and then we’ll flip over to you, probably take about two minutes here. So, for four years we’ve been working together but I wanna tell the story of prior to getting to actually how we got to that point. I wanna tell the story more of how we got to saying, “Yes,” to a Steve Webber when we got on the phone. So I’ll lead up
