Contactless and Safe! From Scheduling to Signing to Settlement

by

We all want to make sure we take the utmost caution to keep everyone safe while still providing excellent service as we all begin to discover our new ways of doing business.

CP Healthcare was on the forefront of e-sign, digital order forms, and on-line settlements from our start in 2014. It’s a strategy we helped push in our industry and one many have attempted to copy with self-serving portals that allows you only to use their expensive funding services.

So what are the simple and safe ways CP can help you and your clients?

 

On-Line Scheduling

You can access our ON-LINE RX FORM 24 hours a day and seven days a week. We have access to every imaging center in Georgia and hundreds in each state throughout the nation. Our philosophy is to choose the closest imaging center to the client’s/patient’s home address (or what the patient needs). But we also allow you as the medical provider and attorney to make a choice. If you have an established relationship with an imaging center, just indicate this on the order form. CP Healthcare will take care of the rest. Simple. Safe. Contactless. Fast. You can still fax us at (706) 256-3454 or send us an email at cph@cypresspartners.com. But this on-line form makes it super easy.

 

Digital Signatures

CP Healthcare has utilized Adobe Sign to safely and securely receive lien and document signatures from both attorneys, clients, and medical professionals. These can be opened and signed on any device with ease. If you would like to use this as your primary way of signing liens and documents, please email us at cph@cypresspartners.com.

 

Digital Reports, Request and Settlements

The desire to create the easiest possible form of communication and negotiations has always been one of CP Healthcare’s biggest advantages. We designed our first portal when we launched our website in 2015. But that wasn’t enough. We wanted to find the best possible way for you to collect all of your lien information in one, single location. To accomplish this, CP has partnered with Mighty. Mighty is an amazing platform that you control. It eases your email and call load by allowing you to update, request records and communicate anything with a case TO ALL LIEN HOLDERS AND PROVIDERS at once with a single click or message. No longer do you have to hop on this portal and ask for this or take 20 calls asking for updates. It’s a system that allows all data to be safely merged together. You as the attorney have complete control, while the providers have only access to their specific patient/case. You don’t have to be tied down to one funding company forcing you to use them for everything. You can control your cost and your time to manage your caseload more efficiently. You can access our link HERE.

 

CP Healthcare can help you in ways the others cannot. Our Small Business gives everyone the attention, service, and innovation needed to do business in our new world. We have been since day one and we will continue to seek out the best ways to provide excellence always.

All Personal Injury Imaging Consolodated

What’s the most important factor in getting your Personal Injury Case rolling?

Correct!

Determining your client/patient level of injury is your top priority as soon as they present to your law firm or medical clinic.

And the next step to verify injury and treatment plans lies in the images that need to be ordered and completed.

CP Healthcare has that covered for you in a single-source option. CP has more than 100 locations in Georgia, as well as locations in all 50 states, to help you get your clients/patients scheduled quickly and safely. We have centers that have been deemed “COVID sensitive locations” that are set up to serve those clients with underlying health condition and for those patients who are 55 and older. All of our locations are going above and beyond to sanitize and to maintain social distancing procedures.

In addition to our safe scheduling, we offer every scan option you need. From a DTI and 3T imaging to basic X-Rays, we can handle what you need to confirm your diagnosis and establish a treatment plan.

CP Healthcare can even provide 3D images and NeuroQuant reports at your request for your injured clients/patients. Anything you need to establish treatment. Everything you need to bring to trial. CP can help you and your clients/patients.

Finally, we are here to provide what you need to close your case. CP Healthcare provides all original billing for trial. Our settlement negotiations are also better than sending it directly to the imaging center. Yes, our billing is more sound. How? Even if you have an “In-House Lien”, that’s not always the best option for your case. In most all cases, our ability to negotiate the settlement will be easier and lower than dealing with the red-tape of a corporate owned imaging facility or private-equity owned funding company.

I’d love to speak with you more about how we operate. CP Healthcare is the experts in Personal Injury Imaging. Imaging is all we do! We know how to help get treatment started quicker on the front end, provide all resources to build your case and save you headaches at settlement time.

Medical Funding: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

by

What comes to your mind when you hear the words… “Funding Company”?

I’ve had attorneys and imaging center owners both use the term “necessary evil” on more than a few occasions. I’ve had other attorneys and imaging centers also call them “vital”.

So, why is there such a divide and a black-and-white view of medical funding companies in our industry?

You can come up with many reasons, but at the end of the day it all boils down to contracts and settlements.

Contracts have been under the microscope for the past few years. Cases against medical funding companies, pre-settlement advance companies, and physicians have been on the rise throughout the United States. And the main reason behind this increase is bad contracts.

There’s a perfect mix when it comes to the formation of a medical contract in personal injury. There has to be room for the case to breathe. There also has to be room for everyone involved to be compensated fairly if the case is valid. What our industry has seen over the past few years is an influx of speculators. A lot of the medical funding companies that popped up do not have a background in finance or medicine. They are strictly groups using our industry like the stock market. Trying to make the quick buck until the market is drained due to their greed. They are only willing to stay in the game until laws change. They are also the ones behind bad contracts that lead to greed that leads to laws being changed.

And this moves us to the second part of this discussion.

Settlements are the final tipping point when it comes to the worth of a funding company. Bad contracts and greed lead to difficult settlements. Difficult settlements lead to unhappy adjusters, pissed off injured clients and frustrated legal professionals. Settlements that are all over the map, because of these bad contracts, also put everyone in the industry under a microscope.

So what do we do to fix this?

First, know your funding source!

Who are the owners? Are they a private equity firm? Are they knowledgable professional who understands their discipline? Are they going above and beyond to care for your client?

Second, know a bad contract!

Is your starting point of negotiations always near 100%? Are they always pushing treatment to a specific location or medical provider? Do they always seem to suggest the same treatment plan? (NOTE: This also goes for In-House Funding and Health Insurance… these can be terrible contracts too.)

There are definitely a lot of other factors that go into testing your medical funding source. But, when you peel back the onion, this is the baseline. This is where you can start your testing to see just how they serve your clients.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this.

Feel free to comment below.

As we move into our new post-quarantine world, it is vital that we analyze every aspect of our business and our relationships. And one great place to start is with our companies who help or hurt our overall industry image.

Looking forward to a healthy discussion and being of help to you and your clients!
