Simplifying Chiropractic Practice! Your practice may not need ongoing consulting—just strategic guidance to optimize your operations. Through our comprehensive practice assessment, we will help you align your care management, coding, documentation and compliance with industry best practices. We empower chiropractors to work ON, not just IN your practice. We encourage you to carve time out of your week to step back from day-to-day operations and focus on what matters most: building a thriving, sustainable practice that delivers exceptional patient care.
You likely do not need endless consulting—you need a thorough practice analysis followed by education/coaching that delivers results. Our comprehensive assessment pinpoints obstacles to growth and identifies opportunities in business systems, clinical care management, coding, and documentation, showing you exactly where to optimize. Transform from practicing IN your business to working ON your business so you can grow strategically, with clear direction on what matters most.
Hiring a typical practice manager, consultant or management company could cost $5,000 to to $20,000 +/year.
Some charge a percentage of your growth, costing you potentially many tens of thousands of dollars, even though you did all the work!
Throw in the 4-6 seminars/meetings per year, spending even more on plane fair, hotels, transportation, food, extra purchases, etc., a typical DC often spends $20,000-$30,000 per year for a practice consultant.
Initially you will be asked to complete a 200-question questionnaire, with each question worth 5 points, for 1000 possible points, separated into 22 sections representing each important office business systems/issues. You will also be asked to complete a very thorough Practice Audit, so I fully understand your practice, and what you want your practice to look like in the future.
This test alone will provide you a visual and numeric snapshot of your practice helping you quickly determine areas of strengths and weaknesses. The Audit provides even more detailed information so we can adequately address your issues and plans for the future.
Your Homework : After the Non-Disclosure Statement and Work Agreements are signed, you’ll be asked to gather some information for analysis (stats, transaction reports, etc.) and complete the Chiropractic Business and Physician Self Assessment Questionnaire, plus the Practice Audit.
Initial visit(s) to your office where I will spend approximately 1-2 days, on-site, interviewing your staff and reviewing your procedures, if possible, even monitoring patient flow.
My homework : After analyzing your practice I will spend the next week preparing a thorough report of my findings including recommendations. The report will be detailed and presented either in a three-ring binder and/or with a PowerPoint presentation.
Follow-up meeting : We will meet a 2nd time to review the PowerPoint presentation and Confidential Report.
Additional meetings may be necessary to help educate your staff on the important changes to your office processes.
No. Again, most DCs need nudged towards true north and help just getting organized again. So, this process is intentionally short term, and rather intense. There are no fees beyond that already described.
The need for follow-up consulting is strictly up to you. The report Dr. Farabaugh provides contains specific action steps to boost your practice. If you do desire ongoing coaching, the fee is $500/month, but that fee remains client specific, and may vary due to the unique needs of our clients.
