Cash Practice Online Marketing Overview

Online marketing is a never ending platform of opportunities to promote your cash practice. Unfortunately, it is also a common source of confusion.

Tough Visit Prevention & Restoration Tips for the Chiropractic Wellness Office

We are well aware that the better you are at retaining patients, the less chiropractic marketing you need to do. This especially holds true in the Chiropractic Wellness Practice where our entire goal is to help patients understand the need for and follow through with lifetime spine checks. Sometimes an adjustment, or even the entire visit, just doesn't go as well as you had hoped. This can make a visit with an existing, but especially a new patient, very awkward. So beyond explaining how you are reducing subluxations and reduction of pain is a side effect of this and Not Your Goal with care, use these additional tips to not only reduce the chances of a bad first visit but also how to restore and clean it up should it begin to head that way. PREVENTION: 1. Build a bond with all NPs by meeting them in the lobby first. You should always have an ear [...]

How to Market a Cash Chiropractic Office – An Overview

Just as there are a host of problems an insurance based practice must contend with on a daily basis, a cash practice that offers ‘membership’ as a way to pay for services, comes with its own set of obstacles and issues. The good news is they are far, far less than those of an office that accepts 3rd party payments. I know – I’ve practiced on both sides of the fence. Regardless of whether you have an insurance, cash, membership or practice transitioning from one to the other, one common concern doesn’t change. How can I build a bigger patient base? […]

My Top Advertising Tip for Building a Wellness Practice

The people in our community that we target as potential customers, patients and practice members have been spoon fed the same old health paradigm since birth. No Symptoms = No Problems. That is a huge obstacle to overcome with retaining patients but is something you could obviously use to your advantage when marketing for new patients. But be careful!... If you want to build a chiropractic wellness patient base that ultimately grows into a high-volume cash practice, you cannot directly market pain relief care. Well, actually you CAN but the lack of congruency you will generate in your office will either just shape your office into a pain relief center – by default – or at the very least sabotage the growth of your ‘wellness’ practice. If your goal in the office is building health rather than simply reacting to the decline of it, then don’t market pain relief as a service. It’s not needed because [...]

Preparing for the Transition from an Insurance to Cash Practice

Preparing for the Transition from an Insurance to Cash Practice Before beginning the actual steps of transitioning from an insurance based model to a non-insurance based cash chiropractic model, there are a number of variables to consider and decisions to make. The good news is that you are probably going to make it a bigger deal and task in your head then it will be in reality. Nevertheless, if you get scared about letting go of the ‘mental safety’ that you believe you have by being attached to third party payers, if you take a dip in volume or income during the process or just temporarily lose focus, take a few minutes to reflect on the disaster that is our failing healthcare system… one that is focused on sickness care. Think about the stress you have endured by being a part of it for as long as you have and how much closer you are to [...]

Essential Keys to Building a Successful Cash Practice

Just as with an insurance based practice, there is no one magic bullet to success when building a chiropractic cash practice. Below is a summary of the keys to success you should internalize and never forget – from day one of starting the journey – if you decide to transition towards or open a cash chiropractic office. 1.       Always be Marketing – From the clothes you wear to how your staff and practice look and feel, you are always marketing whether you want to be or not. Customer volume solves most business issues so always have at least 4 or 5 ‘marketing poles’ in your community pool bringing patients through the door. One fishing pole might be as simple as asking for referrals or reviews while another is a simple online ad and yet another as complex as an outside health fair event. Either way, always have a marketing plan in action - not place - [...]
