In this episode, Trace Kennemore shares his experience of dropping a nationally recognized insurance carrier, how he dealt with the concerns above, and the difficulties that ensued. He added that PTs should know what their contracts are and identify the effects they would cause before they decide to drop them. If you want to increase your profit, what are you waiting for?

“Whenever our numbers were down, I knew that I needed to improve communication" - Ronny Varga Physical therapists don't receive specific training on how to sell a plan of care, how to talk to a patient who frequently cancels or is a no-show, or how to keep a patient engaged in their care. As a long-time owner and VP of Operations for a multi-clinic facility, Ronny Varga learned that his provider team needed more training, not in becoming better clinicians, but in becoming better communicators. Ronny consistently trained his team on communication, giving them the tools they needed to improve patient compliance, significantly improving patient results and clinical productivity.

Most Physical Therapy clinics would improve their profits if they dropped their lower insurance payor. In fact, busy clinics would not only be more profitable, but they would also be more profitable with few patients. Steve Edwards of Achieve PT in Las Vegas experienced it—going from ~$60 per visit to over $100 per visit in the course of one year by dropping two of his lowest payors. And he's looking to drop even more. He joins Nathan Shields in this episode to tell us more about it! Hopefully, this conversation gives you the courage to stand up and expect more from insurance. As a whole, the only way the industry can stem the tide of declining reimbursements is to not accept those contracts en masse. Steve's story can provide confidence that it can be done with massive positive benefits. So drop your lowest payor now and discover how you, too, can increase your profits and grow your business!Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share! https://ptoclub.com/
