If you have ever asked the question, "Why blood chemistry?" this webinar is a must-attend. Learn how blood chemistry analysis can be a foundational clinical assessment tool, can help objectively monitor patient progress, and can expand your practice.

In this webinar, we will review the primary concepts of laboratory biomarkers and blood chemistry patterns, as well as discuss their connection to human physiology.

What we will explore:

  • Important biomarkers for your practice
  • What to look for in blood chemistry
  • Pathological versus functional ranges
  • Single markers versus pattern recognition
  • Foundational markers and patterns, such as:
    • Complete blood count
    • Common patterns of hypothyroidism
    • Lipid panel alterations
  • And more

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.
