[1] The extreme value of referrals alone can pay for most to all rent paid. Also, in the unlikely event that economic downturn or other such factors cause your practice to lose a lot of patients, then as our success is dependent on yours, we will plan to match your efforts to protect your practice by helping to bring it back to the successful levels it was at. Between our ad budget and reputations, plus our proven practice building success, we have the referrals and the knowledge to follow through on our commitments.

[2] Commercial utilities valued at up to double home utilities due to electric companies charging much more for their commercial rates.

[3] Places w/o a formal leas agreement may increase prices at any time. A psychologist we know well who rented from another floor in our building found a lower price elsewhere, only to have his/her rates increase 50% after several months at the new office, and with only weeks of notice!

[4] Established in ’04, we own, not lease our offices. We’re here until retirement (decades later).

[5] We replace outdated carpets, furniture, paint, etc. etc. Comfortable clients are much more likely to stay; earnings potential undoubtedly increases in the right environment.

[6] “Paper-electronic” is a computer program that prints onto a HICF, allowing you to never have to fill in your practitioner info. multiple times, nor re-writing client info. for subsequent billings. “Electronic” I sa way to bill without printing and mailing forms. This is free as available.

[7] Our practice director has an informal agreement with an executive officer of this national company with which the Schaperows have numerous listings with. The executive said we’re the only ones w/which they’ve agreed to this generous discount, as available.

[8] “Location, location, location” is as you already know, one of the key elements of a successful business. We’re a ~30 second drive from I-95 and ~five minutes from 395! This is not only potentially helpful for your time and gas, but can have a tremendous benefit toward getting diverse clientele. We’re very convenient to Mystic, Norwich, Old Lyme, etc. Whether your seek more higher paying, or simply diverse clients, the value of location should not be overstated.

[9] As your needs change at the expiration of contracts, you can change your plan to a % or flat rate, rent full-time, or by the day. We fairly price our offices using a formula that includes the size, window or not, etc., and the many benefits of being with us that are listed on this chart. Reduced pricing is available for long-term contracts, as well.

[10] Sick a few months? Maternity leave? If you can’t work, the months you’re out won’t mean paying rent on non-use of the office (please ask for details).

[11] The first impression new clients have in-person are neither of you, nor your office, but the waiting room. With attention to detail and the big picture, our waiting rooms ensure that clients can be comfortable and confident coming in to see you.

[12] Very nice to have, but not available at all offices, even in some sections of our building where clinicians must share the public bathroom!

[13] Do you want to earn 10-40% more w/o costing your clients more? Even if you’ve attended a multi-year billing and coding school, continue change makes it important to periodically check in w/our billing and coding expert to work w/your personal clinical style and figure out the best ways to maximize insurance payments. Examples include: 1. How to avoid being paid $0 on claims due to a now unpaid diagnosis, or another provider used pooled pass-through visits. 2. How to earn more from CPT codes that more accurately reflect the procedures you’re already doing or can do. Substantial changes were made to the CPT guidelines in 2013. We can help you to master the changes and get what’s truly due to you for your hard professional work.

[14] Please ask for what the discounts are for using the office on Sunday or using our smallest office (just big enough for a clinician and two clients). Discounts are combinable.
