SUMMARY:Peer-to-Peer Dinner: Portland\, OR
DESCRIPTION:Billing & Coding\nDiscussion Outline:\nOur topic is central to any practice’s operations: Billing and Coding. It’s critical to cash flow\, customer satisfaction\, and a practice’s bottom line. Teri Thurston\, PECAA’s Billing and Coding Advisor\, will lead our discussion. Topic points include: \n\nWhat major billing and coding changes are on the horizon?\nDoes your practice bill in-house or outsource your billing?\nTraining: What courses has your practice taken advantage of?\nWhat approaches are successful in obtaining patient data prior to the appointment time?\nWhat resources are helpful when determining eligibility and insurance benefits?\nDoes staff determine both medical and vision eligibility and benefits for each visit? Even if the patient schedules for a vision exam?\nDo you code each visit and then submit to your biller\, or do you have someone else in the office do the coding for you?\nDo you have a process to check your coding and chart for errors on a regular basis in-house?\n\nThis dinner is open to doctors and staff Members.  \nWe hope to see you there! \nRSVP NOW

SUMMARY:Selling Strategies Workshop: San Antonio\, TX
DESCRIPTION:Selling Strategies Workshop\nWhile 70 percent of patients report having their eye exam performed by an independent eye care professional\, only 46 percent of patients reported to purchasing their eyewear from them. Patients have more choices for purchasing than ever before\, and this shows approximately 1 in 3 patients walk out without purchasing from their independent eye care professional. While most optometry and opticianry training focuses on the clinical and technical aspects of the industry\, few include formal sales and retail training. Since frame\, lens\, and contact sales account for an average of 60% of an optometric office’s total revenue\, this is a major problem that needs solving. \nWe invite Doctors\, Managers\, Spectacle Opticians\, Contact Lens Opticians and Paraoptometric Technicians to a half-day Selling Workshop designed to provide specific strategies to help you win the online retail battle and teaches specific ways to differentiate your business while giving patients a reason to buy from you – not online. Training also includes specific verbiage and scripting to better communicate vision solutions to patients and overcome their purchasing hesitation\, while helping better understand the business aspects to operate more efficiently and cost-effectively. \nThe workshop is open to PECAA Members & non-Members and is 100% free to attend.

SUMMARY:Optical Merchandising Workshop: Baton Rouge\, LA
DESCRIPTION:Optical Merchandising Workshop\nAccording to the MBA Practice Profile\, frame\, lens\, and contact lens sales account for 60 percent of total revenue\, making it the largest single source of revenue in an independent optometric practice. When lens products and frame inventory is strategic\, the optical can be a profit center. On the contrary\, when there is no form of inventory management\, merchandising\, or marketing in place\, some of the important choices required for success are not made consciously. \nWe invite Doctors\, Managers\, Spectacle Opticians\, Contact Lens Opticians and Paraoptometric Technicians to a half-day Optical Merchandising Workshop designed to give attendees a better understanding on the process of merchandising\, creating compelling frame displays and managing frame inventory in order to maximize profitability. \nThe workshop is open to PECAA Members & non-Members and is 100% free to attend. Earn four hours of COPE & ABO credit. \nWe hope to see you there! \nREGISTER NOW \nVIEW AGENDA

SUMMARY:Peer-to-Peer Dinner: Spokane\, WA
DESCRIPTION:Financial Success Through Billing & Coding\nDiscussion Outline:\nWe know the revenue cycle is one of the financial pillars in any optometric business and that capturing all earned revenue in a timely fashion is essential. It can be a challenge to recognize opportunities within the day-to-day operations that may cause delayed payments or loss of revenue. However\, through denial prevention\, 90% of all payment delays can be eliminated! \nDuring this dinner\, we will be discussing ideas on how to maximize reimbursements through strategic billing and coding techniques. You will be equipped to look for opportunities within your unique practice workflow to increase cash flow. Topic points include: \n\nFirst line of defense is collecting patient information and insurance verification\nTune into the coding elements that drive reimbursement\nIndividual medical and vision plans policies can vary\nOther opportunities to enhance revenue\n\nPECAA Billing & Coding Advisor Teri Thurston will lead our discussion. \nThis dinner is open to doctors and 2-3 key staff Members.  \nWe hope to see you there! \nRSVP NOW

SUMMARY:Peer-to-Peer Dinner: Oklahoma City\, OK
DESCRIPTION:Performance Reviews & Strategies\nDiscussion Outline:\nPerformance reviews present opportunities and challenges. On one hand\, reviews are the primary vehicle for an employer and employee to engage in a disciplined\, in-depth meeting of minds on the working relationship. On the other hand\, if not carried out properly\, they may actually lead to misunderstandings that lower morale and reduce an employee’s motivation. \nAt our upcoming dinner\, we’ll be joined by PECAA’s Jenny Wiley\, Practice Operations Advisor\, as we discuss strategies for conducting performance reviews that benefit both employer and employee. What works\, and what are the pitfalls to avoid? We hope you will join us for good food and conversation. \nThis dinner is open to doctors and anyone that handles human resources for the practice. \nWe hope to see you there! \nRSVP NOW

SUMMARY:Peer-to-Peer Dinner: San Antonio\, TX
DESCRIPTION:Understanding the Basics of Financial Analysis\nDiscussion Outline:\nOur “gut perceptions” of how our practices are performing are sometimes on the mark\, yet often certain salient aspects capture our attention more than others. It may seem – anecdotally – that contact lens fittings are on the uptick\, or that a certain demographic of customer is dropping off a bit\, etc.\, when in fact other unseen trends are impacting our businesses more. \nMuch of the answer lies in tracking our practices’ Key Metrics. Using consistent benchmarks facilitates reasoned decision making that responds to our true strengths and weaknesses in the marketplace. At our upcoming dinner we’ll discuss: \n\nTypes of Metrics: Revenue\, Optical\, Staffing\, Clinical.  How do we best understand and group them?\nNational metric averages versus Texas metric averages.\nTools to record key metrics in real time\, including those in the PECAA portfolio (e.g. Glimpse) that support more accurate and meaningful tracking.\nThe bottom line: using your metrics to improve the future performance of your practice.\n\nThis dinner is open to doctors and 1-2 key staff members. \nWe hope to see you there! \nRSVP NOW

SUMMARY:Peer-to-Peer Dinner: Pittsburgh\, PA
DESCRIPTION:Billing & Coding\nDiscussion Outline:\nBilling and Coding is a day in and day out function our practices must master. It’s critical to cash flow\, customer satisfaction\, and a practice’s bottom line. For our upcoming Peer to Peer Dinner Teri Thurston\, PECAA’s Billing and Coding Advisor\, will join us as we explore strategies for managing this process. Our discussion points will include: \n\nDo you bill in-house or outsource your billing?\nWhat courses have you taken to better educate yourself and your staff on billing & coding techniques?\nWhat approaches are successful in obtaining patient data prior to the appointment time?\nWhat resources are helpful when determining eligibility and insurance benefits?\nDoes staff determine both medical and vision eligibility and benefits for each visit? Even if the patient schedules for a vision exam?\nDo you code each visit and then submit to your biller\, or do you have someone else in the office do the coding for you?\nDo you have a process to check your coding and chart for errors on a regular basis in-house?\nMuch more!\n\nThis dinner is open to doctors and staff Members.  \nWe hope to see you there! \nRSVP NOW

SUMMARY:Optical Merchandising Workshop: Cleveland\, OH
DESCRIPTION:Optical Merchandising Workshop\nAccording to the MBA Practice Profile\, frame\, lens\, and contact lens sales account for 60 percent of total revenue\, making it the largest single source of revenue in an independent optometric practice. When lens products and frame inventory is strategic\, the optical can be a profit center. On the contrary\, when there is no form of inventory management\, merchandising\, or marketing in place\, some of the important choices required for success are not made consciously. \nWe invite Doctors\, Managers\, Spectacle Opticians\, Contact Lens Opticians and Paraoptometric Technicians to a half-day Optical Merchandising Workshop designed to give attendees a better understanding on the process of merchandising\, creating compelling frame displays and managing frame inventory in order to maximize profitability. \nThe workshop is open to PECAA Members & non-Memberes and is 100% free to attend. Earn four hours of COPE & ABO credit. \nWe hope to see you there! \nREGISTER NOW \nVIEW AGENDA

SUMMARY:Peer-to-Peer Dinner: Houston\, TX
DESCRIPTION:Understanding the Basics of Financial Analysis\nDiscussion Outline:\nOur gut perceptions of how our practices are performing are sometimes on the mark\, yet often certain salient aspects capture our attention more than others. It may seem – anecdotally – that contact lens fittings are on the uptick\, or that a certain demographic of customer is dropping off a bit\, etc. when in fact other unseen trends are impacting our businesses more. \nMuch of the answer lies in tracking our practices’ Key Metrics. Using consistent benchmarks facilitates reasoned decision making that responds to our true strengths and weaknesses in the marketplace. At our upcoming dinner Bryan Hoban\, PECAA Member Business Manager\, will join us as we discuss: \n\nTypes of Metrics: revenue\, optical\, staffing\, clinical. How do we best understand and group them?\nTools to record key metrics in real time\, including those in the PECAA portfolio (e.g. SuccessTrack) that support more accurate and meaningful tracking.\nThe bottom line: using your metrics to improve the future performance of your practice.\n\nThis dinner is open to doctors and 1-2 key staff Members.  \nWe hope to see you there! \nRSVP NOW

SUMMARY:Peer-to-Peer Dinner: Richland\, WA
DESCRIPTION:Salaries\nDiscussion Outline:\nFew questions challenge small business owners more than the issue of staff salaries. While many practice owners express the desire to pay a “market rate\,” determining just what that is often proves frustrating. At this dinner\, we’ll enjoy a fine meal and discuss together how best to approach the salary question: \n\nSalary surveys: Are they useful? What are their strengths and downfalls?\nComparables: When are two positions named the same thing\, but really different? How do job descriptions differ for the same job title? How often is the actual work done out of alignment with the job description?\nCost of Living: How do we gauge local area cost of living and year over year changes?\nPromotions: How do we account for the value of experience\, before joining a practice\, and at the same practice?\n\nPlease note that due to the sensitive nature of this topic\, this dinner will be limited to ODs\, practice owners and managers who handle HR. \nWe hope to see you there! \nRSVP NOW
