Five Ways to Increase Profits

When your personal income goes up, you feel more cheerful. You can improve the working conditions for your staff. You can provide the best possible care for your patients. You can increase your net income in five ways:

1. Generate more new patients
2. Raise fees
3. Increase staff efficiency for higher production-per-patient
4. Reduce accounts receivable
5. Lower overhead

In meetings with your consultant, you constantly review these five factors. You find ways to increase profit as quickly and easily as possible.

For example, if you have more patients than you can handle and your overhead is running at 70%, your consulting would focus on your fees, cutting your lowest paying insurance plans, increasing collections and overhead breakdowns. One or more of those three factors would be the source of your low profit.

If your fees were average and collections were excellent, the problem would be with your overhead. Perhaps you and your consultant find your payroll is at $19,500 per month, but should be at $16,000 per month. In this case, your consultant might recommend you meet with your staff, explain how the practice needed to collect $80,000 per month to justify the payroll. You would go over specific steps each employee could do to bring down the payroll percentages.

Once collections and payroll were in range, you would reward your staff with cash. As a result, your staff members perform as they should. Your production and collections jump. Your payroll percentage drops to a good range. You feel proud of your staff.

As another example, you and your consultant find your over-the-counter collections are weak. Your consultant calculates your lax patient financial policies and procedures are cutting $6500 per month from your profit. Your consultant helps you write financial policies for patients as well as scripts and rules for staff. Your consultant then trains your staff using written material and drilling. Within 24 hours, over-the-counter collections jump to a new level. This is then closely monitored with metrics to ensure it is being done the correct way going forward.

ExecTech consultants have dozens of solutions to help you correct and improve ANY aspect of your practice.

How ExecTech Consulting is Conducted

You meet with your consultant every two-three weeks. The end result of the meetings are written, step-by-step plans called mini-programs. To make a difference in your practice and to meet ExecTech standards, each step of your mini-program must make sense, align with your goals and excite you.

You talk to your consultant at least once each week to address emergency situations, discuss your progress and focus on correct priorities. During difficult periods, you meet or talk to your consultant more often. You have unrestricted access to your consultant.

In addition to working with your Practice Consultant, you also work with an Executive Coach each week to build your performance skills. The combination of practice consulting and executive coaching is how ExecTech gets its best results.

The ExecTech Program is customized to fit YOU; your goals, your needs/wants, your practice setup, demographic, location, and size.
