How
many patients do you know who have loved a practitioner's treatment
but have been turned off by the front office part of care? Easy
to use, this manual helps you to reduce practice stress, to gain
stability, and to inspire loyal patient referrals. As a training
manual for staff or yourself, it can relieve you of poor or mediocre
front office procedure.
This manual takes a holistic approach to serving people, promoting
conscious communication with patients and carrying through with
procedures. It includes safe practice and good follow-through procedure,
the art of patient scheduling and recall, the orienting and education
of your patients, managing paperwork, handling collections, insurance
and billing. It's a professional and human approach to acupuncture
care, reducing malpractice vulnerability, and creating a competent
and nurturing environment for your patients.
