Synopsis

Rising costs in healthcare are on the minds of people throughout the country - whether that be politicians, patients, or doctors and healthcare teams. Change is on the horizon. You must be ready. "It costs too much" is the number one reason people do not seek healthcare services and the number one reason why they do not proceed with recommended treatment. Serve your patients. Help them understand the benefits of treatment. Make options for payment available that let them say "yes" to treatment . The ability to discuss financial options and find a financial solution will help you to maintain, develop and increase this knowledge. You will be able to increase your services, help more people, and improve your practice. In this course, you will learn the skills required for overcoming the "fear of cost" so that both you and your patients benefit.

  1. Communicate more effectively about finances with patients;
