Are You Passionate About Chiropractic or Going Through the Motions?

By Ted A. Arkfeld, DC, MS

First of all, I hope the subject line caught your attention and you are still reading this email. I have had the pleasure of visiting doctors and offices all across the nation, and I can tell within the first five minutes if the doctor and staff are on task, passionate, and successful.

Unfortunately, I have visited with way too many doctors who have lost their passion and zeal for practicing in today's healthcare. They put on the brave face and head out each day to the office to do the same thing they did yesterday. Oh, don't get me wrong, they may be making a good living, and have a relatively stress free practice, but they are not having fun.

The reason I can identify so easily with these doctors is that I was there three years ago. I had reached the 27-years in practice mark and was not passionate about my practice. That all changed one day as I sat in on a presentation by Patrick Porter, Ph.D., on brain stress. He was actually talking about patients who were sympathetic dominant, and how chiropractic care was the answer.

From Concussions to Medical Necessity

Dr. Arkfeld (Ted A. Arkfeld, DC, MS) held a great Concussion seminar here at Genius Solutions last week. Ted is amazing and he always brings extras... extra new gear to try and love, ways to improve and add to the offerings your office can give to improve the lives of your patients, and how to best improve your bottom line... often with gear you already have (plus I know how much he loves to make sure you are fed).  If you have never seen him live - I strongly recommend you take the opportunity when it is next given. You won't regret it. He has a love of chiropractic, chiropractors, and patients that you don't always get to see or experience. And his knowledge of coding and documentation can't be beaten. 

Get Better at Coding, Get Paid Better

In case you haven't thought about it in a while... here is a little article he sent my way on medical necessity and his mini Clinical Genius course - in case you would like a refresher. 
Medical Necessity is simply why we get paid for services rendered to a patient who has insurance. Most carriers follow Medicare's definition:

The patient must have a significant health problem in the form of a neuromusculoskeletal condition necessitating treatment, and the manipulative services rendered must have a direct therapeutic relationship to the patient's condition.

How do you support medical necessity?
