Get More New Patients...Freebie!

What if a prospective new patient calls your office but won't come in because you're not in their Plan?
 
CPB Group, an established national company, acts as the Managed Care Department for Chiropractors.  They can get you into the right plans for your area and type of Practice even if you've been told that they are closed.  CPB Group is not a network.  The Plans they get you into belong to you, not CPB. As you get into the plans, they will even help you get new patients. 

For the next 30 days, CPB Group has agreed to offer to Billing Precision clients a free managed care consultation session that will evaluate the Managed Care Plan (PPO/HMO) needs of your Practice and give you suggestions on how to get into the best Plans in your area, and how increase your Practice Income from the Plans you're already in.

Call CPB Group at: 1-800-390-1729 and ask for Jeffrey Gerstin to schedule the free consultation.  Let him know you are a Billing Precision client to qualify for the freebie.
