cmorgan – Medical Savings

MOST MEDICAL PRACTICES ARE OVERPAYING FOR THEIR BUSINESS SERVICES – AND DON’T EVEN KNOW IT

Current economic challenges have made it imperative for Medical offices to continually assess their fiscal health in order to find ways to counter rising costs and staffing shortages. Many of these Doctors know they can easily spend up to 36+ hours a week treating patients – leaving little time to help develop and maintain strategies to increase profitability or evaluate new opportunities to streamline operations. Most MEDICAL PRACTICES are overpaying for their business services – and don’t even know it

Evaluating the options that best balance your office’s goals while ensuring optimal performance from your various business services can be very time consuming and frustrating. When was the last time you assessed your Waste or Merchant Services contract and pricing? Is it time for your team to get a no cost, no obligation audit of some of your key services from Schooley Mitchell?

Medical Waste

How predictable is your medical waste every month?

Variability in your medical waste from month-to-month makes a big difference to certain service providers.

How do you deal with amalgam waste? Contaminated waste? Sharps?

Each of these require a specific disposal method that could represent additional costs.

Who supplies your medical waste and sharps containers and how are they stored?

Operational procedures and location specific descisions can substantially impact your overall pricing.

Merchant Services

Do you reference the "effective rate" to evaluate how competitive your processing fees are?

A blended pricing structure makes it more difficult to fully understand all the factors impacting your fees.

Do you know how your current processing environment impacts your processing fees?

How you process payments and capture data can have a big impact on your monthly fees.

Have you asked your processor to provide you an "interchange-plus pricing" quote?

This pricing structure is often the least expensive and most transparent option.

Telecom

Have you conducted a recent usage audit across your telecommunications system?

In many cases, we find inefficiencies and redundancies in the number of lines and features.

Have you considered moving to a Voice over IP platform?

Cloud based telecommunications systems typically provide unique features at lower costs.

Do you know when your current plan automatically renews?

Companies typically only have a 30-day window to make changes to their current contract.

Shipping

Have you considered splitting your shipping business across multiple vendors?

Vendors tend to specialize in certain areas so playing to their unique strengths can reduce your overall costs.

Are you paying for unnecessary delivery guarantees?

Being more flexible on delivery times can significantly reduce your costs.

Do you review your monthly statements to ensure the correct charge codes are used?

Charge codes can be very confusing and require a detailed review to ensure you are being charged correctly.

Getting Started is Easy!

Step 1

Provide Us Invoices or Online Access

First, you provide us with the bills or online access to your vendors so we can establish a baseline of your current cost structure.

Sign our Letter of Agency & Service Agreement

You also sign a letter of agency so we can negotiate with your current vendors, because chances are you’re not looking to switch. You also sign our service agreement which covers our business terms.

Step 2

We do the Analysis & Negotiating.

This is where we use our benchmarking data to research options and negotiate better deals for you.

Set Up a Call to Introduce Our Specialist

We don't need much from you during this step, just a quick call to introduce our specialist who is doing the work.

Step 3

We Share Our Recommendations

Then we share our recommendations with you. You choose what to implement and we take it from there.

“The savings he found for telecom were the equivalent of us getting 60 new donors – and it only took me a couple hours of my time to make that happen. Two hours for 60 donors? I’d do that again in a second.”

“Out of curiosity, I contacted former colleagues to ask what pricing they could provide, and to my astonishment, they were only able to provide pricing half as good as what Amanda and Schooley Mitchell could provide. This proved to me that Schooley Mitchell has built very strong relationships and has remarkable buying power.”

“For Waste Removal, Schooley Mitchell presented some local options where we could make a switch from our current provider and save 80%! Those are savings we did not realize were available and Schooley Mitchell did a great job laying out the implementation process”
