The typical office practice, faced with shrinking reimbursements, has been forced to increase patient loads and decrease the time spent on each visit. For many doctors, doing more just to stay even is an unpleasant fact of life. There is only so much of your time to go around, and actually growing your practice may seem like a ridiculous pipe dream. At the same time, jammed waiting rooms and overflowing appointment books bring with them dissatisfied patients, high stress for you and your staff, and little time to enjoy interests beyond the daily grind.

For a growing number of physicians, however, effective use of midlevel providers – NPs, PAs, and other nonphysicians – has brightened this picture considerably. Visits and revenue are up, while wait times and appointment backlogs are down. Lower staff cost per visit means more profit, and rising levels of patient satisfaction mean a better referral stream. And perhaps most importantly, stress levels are down and physicians are finding a better balance between their work and their personal lives.

For a tiny investment of $197 and 90 minutes of your time, you'll receive a roadmap to successfully incorporating midlevels into your practice from a nationally respected consultant-attorney. You'll also obtain practical strategies and ideas, implementation guidance, and expert legal and compliance advice.

Areas covered in this dynamic session include:

• Which is better for your practice? NPs or PAs or both
• Using medical assistants to reduce nursing costs and enhance nurses' clinical focus
• Creating an appropriate, profitable clinical role for midlevels
• Recruitment and pay rates
• Proper coding and maximizing reimbursement using "incident to" billing
• Physician supervision requirements
• Complying with state practice acts
• Dealing with patients' expectations to "see the doctor"
• Opportunities to add ancillary services
• Liability issues and risk management guidance

PLUS… LISTEN IN ON A Q&A SESSION AT THE END OF THE PROGRAM!
