The Blueprint for Cash Practice Success
This session will present a compelling case for transition away from corporate medicine and dependence on third-party payors into the freedom of independent practice. The barriers to effective Osteopathic treatment created by restrictive reimbursement policies will be exposed as the primary cause for the year-over-year decline in the use of OMT. The popularity of practices that provide OMT and their subsequent financial success will be demonstrated. The session will present data on improvements in quality of care and patient satisfaction in independent practice, focusing on these benefits in the absence of third-party interference. The pressing need for a return to independent cash practice will be supported by real-life vignettes, statistical data and physician surveys. Multiple viable pathways for a transition to cash practice will be presented to attendees for practical application and proven success.
