Choose Wisely: Staff Augmentation vs. Outsourcing
Internal staff have so much to do but rarely enough time to do it. From manually performing release of information (ROI), managing faxes, interacting with patients, verifying insurance, and forms completion – orthopedic specialists need to find creative ways for greater efficiencies in their practices. They also want internal staff focused on patient care, not administrative tasks. Most have staff vacancies to fill. Today’s staffing challenges can be solved by augmentation or outsourcing. How do you know which option is the best for your practice? This session will compare the choices to allow for more informed decisions.

How to Effectively Communicate Audit Results
It's frustrating when a provider audit program leads to the same results without improvement or providers are not open to feedback. The key to a successful audit education program is being able to meet providers at their level and tailor messages to each provider that deliver results. This session is about clear and concise communications with providers about their audit results, with a focus on using audit results to open up lines of communication with providers. The result is a better provider feedback session with improved results on future audits, and a more engaged set of providers in the group.

Compliance Concerns with AI and ChatGPT
Healthcare continues to evolve with implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Orthopedic providers seeking out ways to become more efficient, and create universal content need to understand the risks associated with using technology that is meant to support clinical documentation that is both compliant and supports reimbursement for the levels of service billed. However, programs such as ChatGPT pose significant risks for a number of reasons. Beyond that there are disclosures that must be made to patients that allow them to opt out if they do not want AI engaged in their care. This presentation will walk you through requirements of disclosure, structuring policies and procedures as well as ensuing compliance with the addition of this technology.

Executive Quicksand
Congratulations, you are an executive! While landing the executive role is a significant accomplishment, many executives find it less than enjoyable. This is because many find that they now have less control over their time, are pulled down into the weeds of many different projects, and are constantly dealing with people problems. This phenomenon, which we refer to as "Executive Quicksand" can detract from strategic leadership, goal execution, and from being the true leader that executives dreamed they would be when they took on the role. In this session, we will explore how executives unintentionally fall into this quicksand and provide strategies for regaining their time and strategic focus. This session is designed to get executives out of the quicksand and back to the leader they need to be!

Negotiating With Confidence
Attendees will leave this session knowing that it NEVER hurts to ask in both professional and personal matters...after all, the listener can only say no. Many of us are afraid to ask for more (or less), because we don't know how to negotiate a better deal, or we don't know how to ask for what we want. Learn how to best prepare for various conversations when negotiating contracts, pricing, and even salary, through lecture and role play from the presenters. Presenters are administrators who bring two lenses to the lessons. Come enjoy this fun and interactive session as we experience the "game" and fun of negotiating with confidence!

Rheumatology - A Financial Roadmap for an Orthopaedic Practice
MBJI added rheumatology in 2012. While it serviced the community well, it was not financially strong for six years as the practice struggled to understand the patient and financial dynamics of the service line as it is very different from orthopaedics. Beginning in 2017, we started a path of consistent growth but wrestled with understanding how to evaluate profit and cash flow requirements. While patient care was uninterrupted, physician turnover caused significant challenges with cash flows. This presentation will provide both an operational and financial (P&L, Cash Flow and Balance Sheet) template for practices to use as they evaluate introducing and growing this specialty.

What Can DME Do For Me?
Implementing a successful DME program can enhance the overall productivity and performance of your practice. However, it is essential that this clinical decision also translates into great business decisions for your practice. Addressing the challenges of compliance, audits, inventory and staff management, medical policies and insurance requirements is essential. Equally important is identifying and implementing those proactive steps that define the how's and why's surrounding DME and ultimately help develop an efficient, profitable DME program that works for your practice and physicians.

Being a Servant Leader without Setting Yourself on Fire
Recent medical research on health professionals is showing about about half the respondents meet criteria for burnout and about a quarter are considering leaving their jobs because of it. Recent research also shows that recurring feelings of anger are tied to heart-disease, heart attacks and stroke. Additionally, autoimmune disorders tend to affect people during periods of extensive stress (and about 80% are women). Is work literally killing us? Lets talk about how to be a servant leader and setting good boundaries. It may save your life!

Think Different: Embrace Apple’s Philosophy, Grow Direct-Pay, Ditch BUCAH Dependence
Tired of the trying to negotiate better payment from commercial insurers and Medicare? Despite our valiant efforts to increase payments, it’s not getting any better: Medicare proposed another 2.8% physician pay cut in 2025. In the words of Apple’s Steve Jobs, it’s time to “Think Different”. In this session learn how you can diversify your payer mix through direct-pay initiatives centered around transparently priced healthcare bundles. Take proactive steps to grow revenue from self-insured employers, simplify workflows, and create “Zero Revenue Cycle” payments, through the growing direct-pay market most are missing.

Exploring New Service Lines – Finding Your Way in the Weeds
As practices strive to remain competitive in their marketplace and maintain autonomy, exploration and potential implementation of new ancillary revenue streams or service lines has become a hot topic of conversation. In the weeds of all that is being offered, there are lingering questions - what programs are truly viable, sustainable, profitable, scalable and align with your values while having the least risk for compliance audits and recoups? Taking those proactive steps to define who you are as a practice, what drives you fundamentally, and developing a streamlined approach for easier implementation can ultimately drive a long-term ancillary culture.
