Pink Eye...

It is inevitable that little ones as well as some adults get pink eye or conjunctivitis. Wouldn't you like a test that will tell you if it is a baterial or viral? Of course you would! Well, now we have a test that help you do that!

I know being a new mom, I would greatly appreciate my pediatrician using such a test so I wouldn't be sent home with antibiotics that didn't work. Now, I am not one of those "over-the-top" kind of moms, but I am sure you have met them and know that if you had this test how much better it would have made your life!

I am poking a little fun, but on a serious note, think of how much more credibility you would have as a medical professional if you could provide your patients with quality tests like this one. If you are interested in this test, please look below for the information you will need to order it!

Let's Talk Lab

Whether you are a Physcian Office, Surgery Center or another speciality, lab is apart of your everyday tasks! Lab can be a scary word, but it shouldn't be! You may think, oh, I have to buy expensive equipment, hire a lab tech and pay tons of money to get a license to do so---BUT that is not all true!

Did you know that being CLIA Waived you can do almost all the tests you normally send out! That is right! Many of the instruments/analyzers out there offer not only CLIA Waived tests but also are EMR compatable.

Did I mention there is a Money Revenue piece to Lab...

If you are interested in what kind of lab you can do, let's get together and look at what you send out and see if it is WORTH your time to bring Lab In-House!

Just a side note, I highly dislike having to go get my blood drawn at a Reference lab, when my Doctor should be doing it in-house! It is just silly to me and it makes me really evaluate why I use his/her services! Do you think your patients feel this way?

It is Never to Early to think about Tax Deduct!ions

The provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 179 allow a sole proprietor, partnership or corporation to fully expense tangible property in the year it is purchased. And tax-law changes have made this option much more appealing by dramatically increasing the amount that can be written off immediately. [taken from Reperitore Magazine]
What is an example of something you can deduct? Exam Tables & Capital Lab Equipment
Let's take a look at what would work best for your practice. Whether it is a new exam table or adding some lab testing to your practice, I want to help you make the right investment!
Who ever knew I could help you out with your Taxes! Just don't ask me to do your Taxes :)!
