After several years of offering video reproductions of our various live seminars, we want to offer something new!

Our new subscription series called Medical Office Strategies will explore all the coding and practice management issues that affect your practice revenue and ultimately the service you provide. Each volume will feature 1-2 hours of material, including a DVD and CD so you can either listen or view as you desire. Each volume will also include a data disk with corresponding syllabi and other materials in digital format.

You will notice that these new products are of much higher quality and functionality. Dr. Firth presents them in a way that makes these volumes enjoyable to watch/listen and learn.

Here's how the subscription service works.

When you sign up for the subscription service, you will receive 10 to 12 videos in the series each year, at a cost of $50 per video -- that's about $500 per year. Approximately every five weeks, you will receive a new volume. Each volume comes with a 30-day money back guarantee. If you are a subscriber and are not interested in the video you received, simply send it back within 30 days and you will not be billed. That means you can select the 10-12 videos you are most interested in based on your own practice needs.

Volumes 2009 are:

After all, you cannot improve your practice until you know its strong and weak points. The presentation includes a general analysis of Dr. Firth’s practice and progresses to a more in-depth specific analysis by procedure groups. We discuss what numbers are important to know, how to find them and how to interpret the meaning.
