Office Manager: Overview

Background: Office Managers are often responsible for managing the efficiency of the office. As you know, Managed Care continues to limit a physician’s ability to pass on the rising costs of managing a practice. Offering a new service to current patients could help increase revenues. Post-Grav Serum™ is the first therapy developed specifically for the Ob/Gyn and allows the doctor to offer dispensed medication to postpartum patients that develop stretch marks. The average Ob/Gyn will have about 175 obstetrical patients and the majority would be candidates for therapy – thus offering a new revenue source for the practice. In addition, patients often discuss their medical situations with each other. This new service may lead to new patients contacting your office.

Why is the doctor interested in this new therapy?

 

  • Patients have always wanted a therapy to improve stretch marks. The average Ob/Gyn will increase their office revenue by (50-75k) per year. This new revenue source does not involve insurance hassles. The new revenue is all “Fee for Service.”

Is Post-Grav Serum™ covered by Managed Care Plans?

 

  • Insurance companies do not reimburse for what they define as cosmetic procedures. There are no insurance forms to file for insurance reimbursement. The patients will purchase the product from your office and pay for the product themselves.

Will I need to hire and train new people for this new therapy?

 

  • No, the nurse can council the patient as they do with other medications and procedures. It will only take a few minutes and can be done during a normal office visit. The nurse has a section on this website that will provide the proper guidance.

How will the patients know we have this new therapy available?

 

  • Brochures located in the waiting room/exam rooms will insure patient interest.

  • The brochures come in a clear acrylic holder and are very discrete.

  • They disappear fast so placing the acrylic holders where patients check in for the appointments allows the staff to monitor the supply.

  • Reorder the brochures (Free) – by calling or emailing us.

Does the product need special storage?

 

  • No, it should be stored at room temperature.
