KS Podiatrist Co-Leads Backpacking Trip to See Solar Eclipse
Jake Goldstein, DPM of Overland Park, Kansas, will be taking the day off from his job as a podiatrist to co-lead a backpacking trip through the Ozark mountains in Arkansas. The 59-year-old is a longtime outdoor enthusiast who teaches a backpacking course through his local Sierra Club chapter and leads regular outings throughout the year. But this eclipse trip is extra special, he says — and not just because of the rarity of the phenomenon.

Dr. Goldstein also took the morning off during the 2017 eclipse and drove an hour from his office hoping to catch a good glimpse. Unfortunately, it was cloudy — and then started to rain. “I missed it, basically,” he says. “So I’m looking forward to this.”

| PRACTICE MANAGEMENT TIP OF THE DAY | |
9 Tips for Collecting from Patients
Experts provide nine tips to help practices successfully collect patient balances.
1. Educate patients about the cost of virtual services.
This includes having a conversation at the time of booking about how much each service will cost, says Denny Flint, chief commercial officer at Millennia, a tech-enabled patient engagement company specializing in the recovery of end-to-end patient financial obligation.
Although some payers may waive cost-sharing for virtual services during the pandemic, those waivers will likely expire at some point, making it critical for patients to understand their financial responsibilities. For example, patients may not understand why they need to pay for a telephone appointment or why a telehealth visit costs the same as an in-person one. Explain that these services require provider time and expertise, which is why payers consider them compensable.

| RESPONSES/COMMENTS (NON-CLINICAL) - PART 1A | |
From: Jeff Root
You might want to consider using Quicken Classic Business and Personal if your accounting needs are fairly basic as you suggest. I believe the annual subscription fee is around $120 and costs about half that for the first year. You can set up custom income and expense categories and run income and expense reports that should satisfy your basic accounting needs. You might even be able to import some of your historical data from Quickbooks but you should check with Quicken or Quickbooks support about that first. I have been using Quicken for my personal accounting needs since the 1980s and used Quickbooks for business purposes for many years. I have been very satisfied with Quicken and they have excellent customer support.

| RESPONSES/COMMENTS (NON-CLINICAL) - PART 1B | |
From: Richard Rettig, DPM, Kim Antol
Quicken is a great product, and the most expensive version is $5.50 per month first year, then about $120 per year. Since you are outsourcing payroll (good idea), you never needed Quickbooks in the first place. Unfortunately, you cannot convert your Quickbook files to Quicken.
Richard Rettig, DPM, Philadelphia, PA
If all you need is a simple program to print checks....Quicken should do the trick for under $100. Not subscribing to online versions and options will save you from annual fees.
Kim Antol, President, Sigma Digital X-Ray

| RESPONSES/COMMENTS (NON-CLINICAL) - PART 1C | |
From: Edward S. Orman, DPM
I have also used Quick Books for about 30 years. Initially, it was 3-5 years before I had to get a new version. Over the years, the price more than doubled. In 2023, I looked into QB online and ended up purchasing that. I thought I was saving money but was lied to multiple times about the cost. It ended up being more expensive. It's a completely different program, which I didn’t like, with a steep learning curve. I eventually went back to QB desktop. These companies are pigs and don’t care about their clients.
