Greetings,



	I have officially closed my practice management firm of 14 years and am semi-retired with a disability. I am a Vietnam Era Veteran and still would like to work part time pr product engagements doing expertise in practice management/physicians services from my home. Here are some ideas that I believe I can help your organization with. I use humor, real stories and make 8 hours FUN!


Seminars:  I have taught in 280 cities/40 states now with medical societies and hospitals/systems and would be willing to continue these live. I have written many seminar books used by several seminar companies and will attach a list of seminar books I have written. Before I do any more, I will update them for your location(s).

Consulting: I have performed over 800 consults around the nation. I have developed a Full Practice Assessment tool that I believe is the best in the nation, assessing over 20 areas of the practice. I relate well to practices. We specialized also in OIG, FBI, CIA and problem practices.

Webinars: I am currently doing webinars for the American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC) in Utah but would like more business in this area. I am helping with the new Physician Services Department they are building.

Compliance: How would you like to be a practice that can go to your website as a member or other, and have all the compliance rules of a practice at your finger tips. Over 200 laws and regulations from 17 areas of the government may be hard to find and so time consuming. I have developed what may be the most comprehensive list of compliance for physicians and the next stage would be to develop product lines and resources for each of them. Practices CAN be compliant if we can do this online for your members. Just swipe a credit card…and learn.

Practice Management Library-Online: No one has this yet, but I would be interested in developing an on-line practice management library where people can swipe a credit card and go to over 200 PM topics, all at their fingertips. We could develop topics for receptionists, billers, coders, insurance, collectors and Administrators.



Research and Development: Many professionals do not have time to spend hours researching topics to keep abreast of healthcare management. I would like to help. After I do R&D, we could develop product lines such as “50 Ways to Decrease Expenses in a Medical Practice,â€ or “100 Ways to Increase Reimbursement in a Medical Practice: which I believe would be great sellers. I could develop these product lines if interested for your organization. I could then bind and print here, or give you the rights and final product to print as many as you wish.

Newsletters/Periodicals: Need some articles? Have trouble with current staff getting PM ideas on time for the monthly event? I would love to write articles for you and bring some fresh ideas.

Interim Management: Because I have over 35 years in practice management, I would entertain some Interim Management if you know of practices in trouble. I am a good resource.

How to Start A Practice: A two day course for Residents to step out into the real world of practice management. This is usually a weekend seminar.


	Most of these projects I can do from home, except the live seminars and on-site consulting. I would like to work part-time and help your physician services section be the best it can be. I have many resources and love to develop more.

	If any of these ideas strike you as something you can use, please let me know. This would be cheaper than hiring a 6 figure executive like myself full time, plus benefits, when I can assist you for far less in your PM projects. This also benefits me as I am semi retired at 58 years old and have a small disability (peripheral neuropathy) in my legs. I get around fine and need no accommodations. I just walk a little slower after a million miles of national travel. That means that if you want a foot race with me, I will give you the winning trophy at the start line instead of the finish line.

	Please let me know if a veteran of 36 years in practice management can assist you in progressing your practice management product lines and services. I am here to serve!
