Online Medical Billing “Nearly every doctor who uses it agrees that electronic claims filing reduces paperwork, cuts staff and time costs, and improves communications with insurance carriers. Most important, payment is dramatically faster.”
“Electronic insurance claim processing is a quick, easy method of transferring information directly to insurance carriers. The average turnaround is 14 to 30 days, depending upon the carrier, and errors are virtually eliminated. Best of all, the medical practice will realize a nearly immediate cash flow increase.”
"Our BANG! 'Fusion' group was five women of diverse backgrounds and professions. The four others gave me fresh insight on my business that I could not have gained from my own business team. Each BANG! member’s paradigm and sphere of business contacts were so different that when the others made suggestions to help me attain my goals, I found myself thinking 'outside the box' for the first time ever. "The BANG! accountability factor was the most valuable to me. Because of the bond that we five women created through sharing inside information, I felt that I had to accomplish the others’ suggestions or I'd have to answer why I didn’t pursue them and where am I today for not taking their suggested actions. Because the others were speaking from experience, their suggestions were credible, so taking action on them was truly for my benefit. "These women were honest. Sometimes it’s hard to listen to the truth, but they all gave information with supporting hearts. The next week, they’d be there to follow up on my positioning from the week before — progress was just expected. I look at where I am today, compared to when I started this group 3 months ago, and I’m amazed at my accomplishments. I attribute them to the others’ belief in me. Whenever I popped up with an excuse, the others had zero tolerance for 'I can’t' and directed me to focus on what 'I could' do to accomplish my goals. "Having BANG! facilitators was key, as they were guardians of our time and kept us focused on one issue at a time. Their positive reinforcement and their willingness to be there for me made the group invaluable. "Am I glad that I signed up for BANG!? — you bet I am! Now I’ve created a network of support for life."
"[The Patient Payment Plan™] has freed up my office staff, and now they concentrate more on my patients and their needs!" “We used [the Patient Payment Plan™] to collect our old accounts. PPP has collected more accounts in 6 months than our old collection agency did in 6 years! I’m sold!” “I can offer our patients more payment options [with the Patient Payment Plan™] and not worry about not getting paid. It’s great!”
“We used to offer in-house payment plans, which always turned into collection problems. Now we can [use the Patient Payment Plan™ to] give our patients the payment options they want without the headache of collecting.”
"Thank you for all your help, Alonzo. You said one time everyone has a coach.... Tiger Woods has a golf coach (several I am sure!). When I played softball, I had a head coach, a first base coach, a third base coach, a batting coach, a fielding coach, a coach for conditioning, another coach for weights.... When did we lose sight of needing a coach — for our life, our business? I am really pumped to make it successful!" "A huge thank-you to Alonzo for teaching us that if we want to get different results we must start to change what we're doing! His famous line is "There are no bad markets, just bad marketing!" He recommended the book The 7 Habits of Highly Successful People. We need to be proactive, and take initiative. Begin with the end in mind! We should all be observant and watch people and really listen to what they're trying to tell us. We are responsible for making us better, and by helping others we can also help ourselves. We can all learn to be salespeople. Most important, we have to ASK for the business! It is great to have a business coach in our group, that we can count on to help those we know are in need! We as business owners should all have a coach! If you don’t have one, call Alonzo Russell! HE IS GOOD!!!" "Alonzo has a great personality and is knowledgeable in his field. His methods are effective!!!" "Alonzo knows his stuff. As a business coach, he has consistently given me guidance and asked those questions that stopped me in my tracks and made me rethink my approach. I have come to rely on his deep business experience in a number of fields, his intelligence, and his ability to be supportive and challenging at the same time." "Alonzo has helped me to completely turn my business around. When I first started working with him, I was unhappy with my client base and revenue but had no idea how to get the clients that I wanted and make more money. His coaching has taught me how to run a business and make it what I want it to be." “Let me just preface this by saying that in my last company, I was told by my manager that I wouldn't get anywhere in this business because I was too nice. In his opinion, I needed to play the game his way. He was a trickster and played a dirty, nasty game. That just wasn't me. "After just 7 weeks of working with Alonzo, I have realized that for me, this isn't about marketing — it's a voyage of self-discovery. I always thought it was fear that was holding me back (success or failure, take your pick). It's not. I just lack self-confidence. "In the past few weeks I've been learning to change my way of thinking. Just recently, Alonzo gave me a positive affirmation. After repeating it consistently that first day and feeling it get embedded in my psyche, I had a huge breakthrough the very next day. "Change is not easy. It comes a little at a time — when someone is ready to embrace it. With Alonzo's help, I know that I will get to where I am supposed to be." "I would recommend Alonzo Russell as a business coach to any business owners that would like to take their business to the next level. He has evaluated what level my business is functioning at and helped me identify strengths to build upon and weaknesses to strengthen. I have been able to identify a clearer picture of what I want to accomplish with my business and the steps that I need to take to get there. It has been hard work and a lot of soul-searching but very exciting. I can already see the long-term benefits of what Alonzo has taught me in a very short period of time. You will not be disappointed with the tremendous impact that meeting with Alonzo will have on your business." "I want to live my dream. I do not want to waste precious time and income opportunities. Your coaching has been helping me incredibly to improve my effectiveness and productivity to reach my goals and maximum potential. Thank you so much for helping me to improve in every area of my life. I will always be grateful!" "Every time I talk with Alonzo, he amazes me with his knowledge and understanding. He has so many tools to help a business. But he doesn’t come across like somebody that knows everything. He works with people. He asks good questions. He learns what they need. He coaches them. In short, he helps them to get the best out of themselves. He helps them help their business. I’m sure glad I talked with Alonzo." "Yesterday sure was an eye-opener for me. I know it's absolutely possible. I know I have to work at it — a lot! I pray that God blesses you and your family. Thank you for encouraging me and teaching me so much!!! You let me know if there is anything I can do for you. One thing I know I can do is refer you." "This is great stuff! Thank you very much. This gives me even more direction, and I am definitely on it." |
