Dr. Sid Williams Steps Down

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

After several meetings and conference calls by the Life University Board of Trustees, Life's founder and president, Dr. Sid Williams, has reportedly stepped down. Evidence suggests that his wife, Dr. Nell Williams (senior vice president and dean of student affairs), and his daughter, Dr. Kim Williams, an administrative assistant, have also resigned. Dr. Williams originally announced he would retire in March 2003, after a search for a new president was completed.

The board of trustees is expected to soon appoint an interim president. The primary task facing the new president will be to address Life's loss of CCE accreditation. Among Life's options are a formal appeal of the loss of accreditation (the deadline is July 10, 2002), and a "teach out" of the Life chiropractic students by another accredited chiropractic college.

Should You Be In-Network or Out-of-Network With Insurance?

It’s a new year and many chiropractors are evaluating what will enhance their respective practices, particularly as it relates to their bottom line. One of the most common questions I get is: “Do I need to be credentialed to bill insurance, and what are the best plans to join?” It’s a loaded question – but one every DC ponders. Whether you're already in-network or pondering whether to join, here's what you need to know.

Guidelines vs. Care: Bridging the Gap
Guidelines vs. Care: Bridging the Gap

What happens when best practices for patient care fall outside what guidelines endorse or insurance will cover? More importantly, how can clinicians ethically and effectively integrate non-reimbursed services that improve function, reduce disability and support long-term outcomes? These are not just clinical questions; they are economic and policy challenges that directly affect practice viability and patient access.
