Business and Practice Management
When we start a business or practice, we are usually experts in our chosen field. We know how to be healers, clinicians and teachers. We've spent years learning to become all of that and more. However, unless you got your MBA along with your Masters/Doctorate clinical degree, you may be in the dark about running a business. Business and Practice Management is about all of this. It's about hiring staff, doing the billing and coding, getting credentialed with insurance companies (as well as having your own insurances), financial matters and more. It's all the non-clinical stuff that we need to be involved in. Many businesses will hire someone to manage this aspect -- the Office Manager or Practice Manager. Even if that is the path you are wishing to take…the success of your business depends on you having some basic understanding of Business and Practice Management. You've got to have a grasp on the numbers, profit margins, payroll, and balance sheets as well as HIPPA and OSHA regulations and clinical guidelines. Once again, as we grow this section, if you have suggestions, needs or ideas, please contact us.

This came to mind this past week when an insurance company in my state was "outed" for delaying over 300,000 claims to providers since Jan 2011.... . . .
