Chiropractic billing and sourcing can be very time consuming. Because of this, many practices are turning to third party billing solutions. MichiCare, a wholly owned subsidiary of the MAC, offers a comprehensive and professional chiropractic billing service designed to reduce the administrative burden of practicing chiropractors, save the practice time and money, and utilize our over 25 years of insurance expertise to increase your revenue.
Here are three (3) ideas for optimizing your time gained from outsourcing your billing:
- More time = more patients: Focus on what truly matters in your practice – your patients! According to this study “by spending a small proportion of time chatting about nonmedical topics, and by allowing sufficient time for exchange with the patient” patient satisfaction increases.
- Learn something new: Now that you aren’t devoting a lot of time processing and following up on your claims, you can look to diversify your skill set and open up more opportunities for patient flow. For example, is there a need for a sports chiropractor in your area? Consider obtaining your CCSP.
- Reduce and Reinvest: Now that you have shed some payroll costs, consider reinvesting that savings into your practice to enhance your patients’ experience. Upgrading your technology, equipment, and marketing can increase patient satisfaction as well as attract new patients!
