Well, then you’ll be especially interested in this interview with Austin cash-practice owner Dan Bockman, one of my</span> <a href= "https://drjarodcarter.com/mastermind"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Mastermind group</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">members… After working as a chiropractor for 21 years, Dan found himself in exactly that position. He was one of the top-rated docs in Austin with a busy pre/post surgical-rehab practice for treating spine and extremities. But since a full 80-90% of his patients were insurance-based, he began to notice a startling trend: while patients outcomes were getting better and better, he was getting paid less and less. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Eventually he got “literally squeezed out” of accepting insurance because the reimbursements no longer allowed him to provide high-quality patient care. Despite his fears, he decided the only option was to stop accepting insurance. Last year, despite a pandemic and a move to new office space, he took the plunge and dropped all his insurance contracts.

You’ll hear details on how new-patient calls are managed; the schedule arrangements that lead to a relaxed, optimized atmosphere for both provider and patient; and how he scores tons of stellar online reviews. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">USEFUL INFORMATION:</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Check out our free training: <a href="https://drjarodcarter.com/the8keys">8 Non-Negotiable Keys for Cash Practice Success</a></span></p>
