    How to Leverage Health Savings Accounts (HSA’s) in Your Practice

    How to Leverage Health Savings Accounts (HSA’s) in Your Practice

    Health savings accounts (HSA’s) have been around for years and offer people a way to set aside funds for qualified medical expenses and decrease their tax burden. Not everyone qualifies for an HSA but if you do, it can be an easy way for you (or your patients) to help save for health expenses.
     
    And, these HSA’s can provide huge benefits for you, your patients, and for your business!
     
    Personally, I’ve had an HSA for many years, and I love it. Not only does it lower my taxable income at the end of the year, but I have money set aside for health-related expenses including chiropractic, vision, dental care, and band aids. Random I know, but true!  
     
    Since your patients are already paying to see you, they might as well pay from an HSA and enjoy the added tax benefits. 
     
    If you haven't considered incorporating HSAs into your practice yet, you might be missing out on a golden opportunity to provide added value to your patients while optimizing your bottom line. 💡
     
    In this episode you’ll hear:
    👉 How incorporating HSAs into your practice can enhance patient care and financial stability.
    👉 Strategies to educate your patients about the benefits of HSAs and maximize their utilization.
    👉Practical steps to integrate HSA payments seamlessly into your practice and boost revenue.

    Fill Your Schedule Using a Nurture Email Series

    Fill Your Schedule Using a Nurture Email Series

    Sending regular emails to your patients is an important part of what you do as a practitioner and a business owner. Why? Well, it lets your audience know that you’re around to help, and keeps your name (and smiling face) at the top of their minds. 🤩
     
    But if you're like most practitioners, the mere thought of having to figure out how to write and send these types of emails makes you roll your eyes. 🙄
     
    I get it – writing emails might not be your favorite thing, but here's the deal: neglecting this aspect of your business could mean a significant loss of $$$ as patients simply drift away because they stopped hearing from you. 
     
    Whenever you can create these types of regular connection points with your patients, they are more likely to reach out for help when they need it, rather than looking for someone new. So if you’re not sure where to start, don’t worry – I've got a simple plan to help you get started. 💫
     
    Sending regular emails is not about bombarding them with information they can’t understand or always trying to sell them something; it's about providing consistent value and deepening the relationship. 🤝
     
    In this episode, you'll learn how to create engaging content, from choosing topics that help them get better, faster results to adding in a little of your own personal flair. And don't worry if you’re feeling overwhelmed – I've got your back. 😉
     
    In this episode you’ll hear:
    👉 How sending regular nurture emails helps you stay top of mind.
    👉 Strategies to create valuable and engaging content for your patients.
    👉 Technical tips for setting up and managing your email campaigns.
    👉 Strategies for maintaining consistency and connection with your audience.

    How to Create a Library of Resources for your Patients

    How to Create a Library of Resources for your Patients

    Have you ever felt like you answered the same questions over and over throughout the day? Well, if so, I’ve got great news for you. I’m about to show you how you can create a library of resources for your patients that answers all of their commonly asked questions, and doesn’t require you to be involved!
     
    Your patient resource library can contain many different types of resources, but my favorite (and most effective) way is to create a series of videos that answer their most common questions, provide guidance on dietary recommendations, information about supplements, encourage a healthier lifestyle, and more. This not only saves you time but enhances your credibility. 
     
    In this episode, we'll look at how this type of curated patient resources, assembled in a digital library of sorts, can save you so much time and make you look like the expert of all experts in the eyes of your patients. 
     
    By the end of this podcast episode, you'll have a roadmap to help you change the way you support your patients, saving time, boosting patient satisfaction, and elevating your practice. 🌟
     
    In this episode you’ll hear:
    👉 Simple strategies to create a comprehensive resource library for your patients.
    👉 The top three ways to deliver valuable content without breaking the bank.
    👉 The power of video in engaging and educating your patients efficiently.
    👉 Tips on selecting topics that resonate with your ideal patient base.
    👉 An easy and cost-effective tech solution to host your personalized resource library.

    Leading with Confidence: The Mindset Shift that will Completely Change How You Talk to Potential Patients

    Leading with Confidence: The Mindset Shift that will Completely Change How You Talk to Potential Patients

    When you’re talking with a potential new patient, what does that conversation look like? Are you giving them answers that come from a place of “need” (as in you really want them to say yes to working with you) or is your conversation more about determining whether they will be a good fit in your culture and practice? 
     
    The truth is, you don’t have to take every potential new patient that comes your way. When you have that first meeting or initial conversation, this is when you come to the fork in the road: are you going to invite them to work with you or suggest that there’s a better fit for them somewhere else.
     
    Ultimately, you’re the gatekeeper of your practice. Just because someone wants your help doesn’t mean they’ll be a good fit for you, and that’s okay. You have the right to say “No” if they won’t be a good fit. Because there’s nothing worse than working with someone who doesn’t want to be there. 😬
     
    Today, I want to open the conversation with a new possibility - one that puts you in a decision-making position, not them. We want YOU to make the choice whether you want to work with someone or not, not the other way around. It’s time to change your mindset from one of ‘desperation, meaning you’ll work with anyone - to one that allows you to find and align with people who are on the same page and truly want what you have to offer. 
     
    So, let’s take the complexity out of this delicate dance and give the power back to who really has it - you! 
     
    In this episode you’ll hear:
    👉 How to shift from a mindset of desperation to one of discernment.
    👉 Strategic questions to ask potential patients that address both logic and emotion.
    👉 Ways to transition the conversation from head-centered logic to heart-centered feelings.
    👉 How you’ll know if a patient is the right fit for your practice.
