  • 34: Claim Denials in Speech Therapy Private Practice
    When you work with insurances in speech therapy private practice, you will have claim denials. In this episode, I discuss common causes of claim denials as well as speak about patterns and trends to watch out for when dealing with insurances so that you can get paid.
    In this episode:
    01:28 – Happy Mardi Gras 2018!
    04:40 – Claim denials in Speech Therapy Private Practice
    05:10 – Explanation of Benefits (EOBs)
    05:44 – Benefit Checks
    06:35 – Documentation and Proof of Insurance Verification
    07:05 – Noting Plan Customer Service Representative details
    08:16 – Timely Filing rules in Speech Therapy Private Practice
    09:16 – Patterns and Trends to note when looking at reimbursements
    Also when you look at claim denials for Speech therapy, was it a data entry problem? Did you put their correct data service? What about the patient’s date of birth? Was that correct? Or the subscriber number, was that entered correctly? Every card when you look at the front and back of the insurance card, you’ll see a subscriber number. Also was there an authorization number that should have been put on there? And you want to make sure that there’s no data entry problems on the claim.

    Well, Hello everyone! You’re listening to the Speech therapy Private practice Startup Podcast; this is episode number 34. My name is Kyle Meades and I’m a speech and language pathologist since 1993 and these podcasts are designed to help you improve your business and your life one podcast at a time.

    Welcome back to the show everyone. Today is February 11, 2018 and as of today we have well over twenty eight thousand seven hundred and twenty five listeners to the show. Some of which I know for a fact from the New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Southeast Louisiana area and Happy Mardi Gras to you guys down in Southeast Louisiana. Hope you guys are having a good time because every time, this time of the year rolls around I get real homesick. Here in the Tucson, Arizona sunny dry and a missing night gumbo, fried shrimp, oysters, red beans, rice and sausage. It’s crazy.
    The other day, yesterday at the office she says, “Hey Kyle, what’s a king cake?” I say, “Well that’s something we eat in New Orleans around this time every year in New Orleans. It’s a pastry is kind of like a bagel cinnamon roll and it’s in a circle form and it’s got sugar on top of it. The sugars colored green and gold and purple those Mardi Gras colors and there’s a little plastic baby in there and everybody gets slice and whoever gets the plastic baby has to buy the next King cake for the next party. Now everybody is like well, “Don’t swallow the baby, you can’t. No, you don’t swallow the baby. You spit it out and show it to your friends and say I got the baby I gotta get the next King cake.” And where do you get a King cake?” I say, “the best place to get a King cake is either Gambino’s bakery or Haydel’s bakery on the West Bank. They got the moist King cake. You want it to dry has got to be moist. Anyway this is some second line music from the city of New Orleans and if you hear this. Anywhere in the area of New Orleans southeast Louisiana it means you’re close to the Mardi Gras parade route. So this is it.
    I used to live on 716 Dauphine, New Orleans in the French Quarter and my balcony wrapped around and looked down Dauphine street down towards Downtown. And then you kind of wrapped around Orleans and you look towards Bourbon Street and the sights that you used to see from that balcony I could write a book. Good clean family fun from that balcony I tell you what. Have you guys ever been in New Orleans?

  • 33: Responsibility in Speech Therapy Private Practice

    Responsibility in your speech therapy private practice  can come in many forms.  The most obvious is being responsible to your patients, showing up and delivering good quality treatments and working on your offer that converts.  There is also financial responsibility, social responsibility, responsibility to your team and most importantly being responsible and honest with yourself.  In this episode, I address responsibility and also challenge my listeners to look deep inside and find what is coming between you and your desire to start (or expand) your own speech therapy private.
    In this episode:
    03:12 – Welcome New All Access Community members
    03:40 – Podcast Review: 2017
    06:38 – Responsibility
    06:50 – Financial Responsibility & Social Responsibility
    08:28 – Start your own Speech Therapy Private practice
    09:52 – You’ve got to have an offer that converts
    But there’s so many moving parts to this and it commands responsibility. So think about this you need to first be responsible to yourself. Now you’ve got to start that Private practice if you’re listening to this podcast I know you want to start your own Speech Therapy Private practice. You’re here for a reason. And every day that you delay is going to be profits down the road that you will not have because you started later and got on the Facebook and the Twitter and watching YouTube cat videos, and you just got distracted. Again you’ve got to start. How much of your future are you really losing by not starting right now. Don’t forget this. There’s always a price for getting what you want but there’s also a cost by not getting it.

    Welcome back to the show everyone. Thanks again for all the emails and all the questions. I really appreciate it. Happy New Year and I hope 2018 is just as good or even better as 2017, and as of today, today is Sunday January 7th 2018. We have well over 27,168 listeners to the show. And when you break that down across the world we’ve got United States at the top, then Japan, Australia, United Kingdom, Canada, India, Germany, South Africa and Singapore. Now when you break it down in the United States alone and look at just the states here in the U.S., California’s topping the charts with the most listeners, then it’s Texas, New York, Florida, Arizona, Illinois, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and then Maryland.
    So I hope you guys are getting valuable information out of these podcasts. These are free for you. So if you wouldn’t mind just please go to iTunes and leave five star feedback so that way other people can get the same good information that you’re getting. Also if you’re on the Google platform, the Android system, if you wouldn’t mind just going to your podcast program of choice and leave in some good Five Star feedback there. That would really help me and help others find the show easier so I would really appreciate that.
    Also too I wanted to give a shout out to Pamela and Elena. Those are two new Private SLP All Access Forum Community members. Welcome to our community and I hope you guys are learning heaps. I know we have an upcoming training in January on ‘Goal setting’, so that’s going to be coming up and we’re looking forward to that. So I also wanted to kind of go through what we&#...

  • 32: Payment Audits in Speech Therapy Private Practice

    Going through an audit in speech therapy private practice can be frustrating, time consuming and scary (but it doesn’t have to be).  In this episode, I reveal a few items that a financial auditor will require from you as a provider plus give you important insight to required documentation that will prove the speech therapy visit actually occurred.  I first learned about this piece of documentation (called a signed visit log) from my good friend, Bob Herrmann who owns a very successful clinic in Surprise, AZ called Team4Kids.  Have you ever been audited?  Please comment below and share your thoughts on audits in speech therapy private practice.
    In this episode:
    01:40 – Listener Statistics
    02:15 – Top states listening to the podcast
    03:55 – Billing or credentialing services
    04:08 – Financial audits
    05:58 – Honesty and Integrity
    08:04 – Visit documentation
    You want to make sure you’re doing things appropriately. So again honesty and integrity those are the two main factors when you have your own Speech therapy private practice and so when you do get audited and it will happen eventually you’re ready for it. So I want to give you some insight to a financial audit. Sometimes they’re caught a post payment auditor or a post payment review. And you’re going to see when the auditor does contact you. You want to be respectful, you want to be kind because again that person is doing their job. They have a boss and they’re just trying to get information to give to their higher ups so you can get through the process. So again you want to stay calm, do the right thing, be respectful, be concerned, be honest and be forthcoming.

  • 31: Revenue and Expenses in Speech Therapy Private Practice

    In speech therapy private practice, there are two things that really matter if you want to stay profitable (and open for business). In this episode, I discuss revenue and expenses and the importance of managing the flow of money coming into and out of the practice.
    In this episode:
    02:00 – Listener Statistics
    02:40 – Staying Connected
    03:45 – Revenue & Expenses
    04:18 – Profit & Loss
    05:50 – CPT 92507 Untimed Code
    08:20 – Managing Expenses
    10:40 – All Access Community
    Now with insurance remember in speech therapy we bill the code 92507 that’s what you bill. But don’t forget this goal now 92507 is an untimed code, it’s non-time, it’s not time. So in other words you don’t bill 92507 by the unit, you bill one visit 92507 and that’s it. Unless you have a contract that clearly states that your 92507 is per unit. And I’ve only seen that one time. So again 92507 is a non-time code when you bill that out and you look at your EOB’s when they come back you want to see what your reimbursement rate is and then you want to see how long you’re seeing that patient for because again if you are giving away more time than what you’re bringing in you’re losing money you’re giving away revenue and that’s going to put you in the negative.

    Welcome back to the show everyone. Thanks again for all the emails and all the questions. And as of today today is Sunday October the 29th 2017. We have well over 24,122 listeners to the show and when you break that down all over the world you’re going to find the United States tops the map and then we’ve got Japan and then Australia, the U.K., Canada, Germany, India, South Africa and Singapore. And then when you look at the United States as a whole the top state that listens in the most right now is California, then Texas, New York, Florida, Arizona, Illinois, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and then Maryland. So that’s the distribution of our listeners out there and again if you’re brand new to the podcast. Welcome aboard and I hope you find some good valuable information, if you want to start and grow or scale your own Speech therapy private practice.
    And if you go to the front page privateslp.com that main index landing page you’ll see a place there that says “Stay connected”. Go and put your email address in there and I’ll send you some information on Speech therapy private practice events and that may be in your area in the near future. I really don’t send a lot of emails, for those of you who’ve been around since day one and it’s been about three years now so it’s really nice to have you guys still out there listening. But you know I’m not a spammer. I don’t have a lot of corporate sponsorship. I’ve had a few people lately who want to put some advertisements on the Web site. I just decline it. I just don’t want that and I want to keep this free of charge. And for you guys we don’t need a lot of advertisements at the moment so I declined those and so again if you want to stay up to date with Speech therapy private practice and also too there’s going to be a PrivateSLP live event coming up pretty soon so you may want to go ahead and put your...

  • 30: Encouragement – The Fuel for Speech Therapy Private Practice Growth

     
    When starting a speech therapy private practice, we need to have lots of hope to start (and grow) the business. Alfred Adler said, “Hope is the foundational quality of all change, and encouragement is the fuel which keeps hope alive.” In this 30th episode, I start out by answering two questions from the listening community and then continue the podcast by encouraging the listening audience to remain persistent and driven and never give up! We all have a choice: We can either choose to make the speech therapy private happen, or choose to give up.
    In this episode:
    01:35 – Over 22,019 listeners
    03:05 – Answering a listener Email
    05:06 – Keeping a separate accounting log for the business
    05:35 – Tracking expenses
    09:29 – Legal standpoints for speech therapy private practice
    12:48 – Employees: It’s about relationships
    14:18 – Old Tucson Studios
    21:28 – The right way to start a speech therapy business
    You know I come from the point of view that when I hire a therapist when I hire somebody to work with me not for me. Yes I own the company, we have many people who work together and we serve our patients. But I’m not just looking for someone to come into the clinic and just bill and see patients. I’m looking for relationships and I talked about that in a previous episode. It’s all about relationships. And when I make sure that I’m providing the best possible treatments speech and occupational therapy treatments for these families that come to our clinic I know I’m going to attract very good solid people because when I do the right thing good things are going to happen.

  • 29: Your Private Practice & the Travel Test

     
    Let’s face it, we all want (and need) to get away from time to time so that we can relax and spend time with our family. But when you’re in business, you may not get paid if you’re not seeing patients. In this episode, I discuss the travel test and why it is important that you pass this important milestone in speech therapy private practice.
    In this episode:

    02:40 – Answering Nancy’s Question on the Podcast

    05:35 – All Access Community

    08:15 – The Travel test and Why is it Important?

    11:25 – Staying Profitable

    12:04 – Avoiding This Big Mistake: Owning Your Own Job

    13:40 – The Difference Between a Job and Business

    14:50 – Being Proactive
    Now when I say just open up a business and leave, I think some people may get the wrong idea. This is not like just get rich quick and hire a bunch of people and just hope it works. No we’re talking about providing good solid treatments for the patients, having a wonderful place to work with the employees, offering those employees wonderful health insurance, vision insurance, dental insurance, 401k with a match paid time off paid vacations. I mean the employees are very important you have to take care when you have your own business and employees you’ve got to take care of people.

  • 28: Ten Percent of Something is Better than One Hundred Percent of Nothing

    In Episode 28, I talk about the cost of doing business. When I was very young, my dad (who was a hard-working plumber with an 8th grade education – he had over 100 employees in his plumbing contracting company) made me work hard. I hated all of the physical labor at that time, but reflecting back now, I see how it was a very important time for me. As a private practice and real estate owner, I still use these lessons today. It’s important to remember that I can’t keep all of the profits. In speech therapy private practice, the owner will have expenses, but these are necessary for everyone involved to succeed and get what they need: 1. The patient gets the treatment, 2. The employees get the job and benefits of employment, 3. The IRS gets their tax payments and 4. The landlord gets the rent payment. Everyone involved is a winner when this simple rule is followed: 10% of something is better than 100% of nothing.
    In this episode:

    01:00 – Seventeen thousand four hundred and twenty eight listeners

    02:02 – Value of money

    03:38 – Something that ties in the Private practice

    03:50 – In business there are expenses

    05:11 – There is always a cost of doing business

    06:40 – Ten percent of something is better than a hundred percent of nothing

    08:10 – You’ve got to suit up, show up and not be flaky and get that job done
    This is something that ties in the Private practice as well. You’ve to understand its not what you get paid that makes you successful. Its what you retain and what you keep and what you save.

  • 27: Bright, Shiny Objects (BSOs)

    Bright shiny objects (BSOs) are what destroy our motivation, desire and drive to start our speech therapy private practice.  It’s seems like wherever we turn, BSOs are distracting us from our ultimate goal:  Start, grow and scale our very own speech therapy private practice.  Some of the more common BSOs are Facebook, email, Twitter and surfing the web.  In this episode, I talk about BSOs and ways to keep it simple so that we can create an offer that converts.  Without an offer that converts, you’re not in business.
    In this episode:

    01:38 – Thank you for the feedback

    01:58 – Recording this episode in Hawaii (from the front porch)

    04:36 – SOPs

    05:48 – BSO – Be Careful

    08:01 – The Basics: We need an offer that converts

    08:48 – Accept Insurance

    09:50 – Be Available

    10:22 – Be Affordable

    11:07 – Be Consistent

    11:35 – The only solution to real growth is a team
    We’ve got to keep it very simple, I’ve got to keep it simple and at its simplest form we need an offer that converts never forget that. An offer that converts, once you have an offer that converts that means you’ve got a customer and when you’ve got a customer you rants and repeat, you keep doing that over and over and over and at its simplest form we need an offer that converts.

I know we have as of this episode we have 11 five star feedbacks and I really appreciate it. Skater check left one recently now. It was really nice. I appreciate that, and yeah it’s nice to have you guys out there and listening, and for those of you who are regular listeners, you’ll know that the audio quality is just a little bit different on this recording vs. the other recordings because all of the other recordings I think with the exception of one last year when I was in Australia, that quality was awful a little bit because I recorded that one in my hotel room there in Manly Beach Australia just right there north of Sydney.

    This Podcast is being recorded in beautiful Oahu North Shore Hawaii and we come here every single year to the same exact place at the same exact time and we stay at this beautiful home that we rent in the same location every single year. It’s just a beautiful place here in Sunset Beach and it’s right there on the point and it’s just a wonderful family that we rent this house from. We started out renting this little batch on the back and it was about a six hundred square foot little batch,

  • 26: SOPs and the Noah Principal - PrivateSLP
    Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and the NOAH Principal are very important to remember as you start and grow your speech therapy private practice. In this episode, I discuss keeping notes and logging every aspect of your business on paper. You will quickly find that when you are just starting out, you are actually developing SOPs for your business. These SOPs then need to be refined over time and then cross-trained to others in your business (the NOAH Principal). NOAH is important for your business to run smoothly, because if an employee is out for any reason, then your business will run efficiently and smoothly.
    In this episode:
    02:11 – + 13,766 listeners

    06:41 – Tracking Your Moves to Develop SOPs

    08:22 – NOAH Principal: Train in Pairs
    Another principle I wanted to talk to you about today is the Noah Principle. And when you think about Noah, you think about Noah’s Arc, and when Noah was loading all those animals on to the arc in pairs, two animals. So, you want to make sure that two people in your office are trained on every single procedure. That way, if somebody is out on vacation, or unfortunately, if someone is sick, the other person can take over that task. It’s very important.

We have two businesses here in Tucson, and combined we see well over, I would say it’s about close to 1700 people every month; we see, we provide speech and occupational therapy.

  • 25: Attention to Detail for Speech Therapy Private Practice - PrivateSLP
    Attention to detail is very important in speech therapy private practice. In this podcast, I will discuss those “little things” that we as business owners do on a daily basis to set the standard of care in our speech therapy private practice. If these tasks are neglected, people will notice, and often the result is a complaint. As I work with other private practice owners around the United States, I hear similar feedback, and these similarities are addressed in today’s episode.

    08:57 – Business as a Priority
    Also you want to keep the business as a priority instead of losing your professionalism and having confrontations with clients or employees. There are times when we as owners, will be tempted to let that standard of quality go down but we can’t. Even if we’re a Sole-practitioner we’ve got to understand that we have to set the standard.
