Dr. Foxworth:
Why is it okay for Blue Cross, Aetna, and Cigna to all pay us a different fee for the exact same code? I can't have a different fee for my cash patient or my Medicare patient for their non-covered services. As I started doing my homework and because I'd been involved with creating a network here in the states. What I found was, there is a way to do this. If the doctors don't write anything else down today, write down this acronym, DMPO. It stands for a Discount Medical Plan Organization. Hi everybody, Dr. Stu Hoffman back again with another important topic. As you know I always try and review things that come up in the context of you calling me over issues that happen in your office. Today is no different. I have so many calls based on asking for refunds from patients, to discounting fees, to doing it weekly, to prepaid plans. All of those different areas of concern and they should be. Today I have Dr. Ray Foxworth who is the president of Chiro-Health USA. He has been a friend of mine and Chiro-Secure for a number of years now. Ray is a certified medial compliance specialist. He served for over 20 years on the Medicare Carrier Advisory Committee and four years as the staff chiropractor for the GB Sony Montgomery VA Medical Center. How many people can say that? This guy knows his stuff. He has done so many things in our profession, but also for our profession. In fact a number of years ago. I think it was about five years ago. I was approached about Ray's program, Chiro-Health USA. I've had some mixed feelings about working with people like Ray doing what he does. The reason is, I was taught by a number of attorneys, that so many of these programs have not been done in a legal, proper manner. I took Ray's program and I sent it off to some of our attorneys, who did a full approach in terms of investigating whether or not it was in compliance because there are so many regulations, which I'm sure he'll touch on today. Ray has done his homework. I have nothing but 100% confidence in him and Chiro-Health USA, which is why we're talking to him today. From my experience, having dealt with prepaid plans being one of the guinea pigs dealing with that 35 years ago, or maybe 34-35 years ago. I know that there are so many ways to go about this. It can be a problem and a risk in your practice. I want to bring Ray on. Ray, I understand that you started Chiro-Health USA as a result of a problem in your own practice? That's how so many of us have done things in this world. Can you tell me what that problem that you had was and how it led to you forming and developing what I think may be the largest program of its kind in the chiropractic profession, Chiro-Health USA.
