One day we’ll look back and say,
While the media highlights the losses, I’d like to talk about the opportunity that also exists.
“We Lived Through
The Coronavirus Outbreak Of 2020”
Although healthcare is one of the ‘exempt‘ sectors nationwide, everything has changed and we are all
taking a hit. Therefore it is important that we all innovate our service and business as quickly as
possible. And if we do it well, the innovations may become a permanent aspect of the business and
may even open up new revenue streams.

Start by doing what’s necessary;
Then do what’s possible…
Suddenly you’re doing the impossible!

Ensure You Are Set Up For Success

Will this be something you may consider keeping for the long run?

● Work with your billing/RCM team
If cosmetic / cash, will cost be applied towards a future treatment? Expiration date?

Goal is to make it as simple and streamlined as possible!
● Create cheat sheet/training tools for office/staff
● Ensure each staff member does a ‘mock’ visit themselves - from scheduling through
execution
● Create cheat sheet/overview for patients

Technology can be frustrating for some, so prepare to be patient!
