  • REAL ESTATE ADVISOR Tips & Tools from the world of todays Realtor

    Not all REALTORS are created equal. Below are five skills and services that you should quiz a REALTOR about before choosing to work with them. Works around your schedule and communicates electronically. Doctors do not work a typical 9-5 day and are pressed for free time. Therefore, your real estate agent should work around your schedule and be available after hours to communicate with you. Equally important is how they communicate. Email and text messages are often much more efficient and effective than phone conversations. Most of the communication during a real estate transaction, both pre and post purchase and sale, can be effectively handled via email. It provides a written record of all communications, allows documents to be attached, references web sites and can be written and checked any time of day. Make sure the agent you select is comfortable with advanced email usage. Amazingly enough, there are many agents who do not check their email as often as they should in order to communicate effectively. Text messaging can also be a big time saver. Try texting a prospective agent to see how quickly they reply back as a test. Provides useful, current community information regarding towns, cities, schools, and amenities. Part of the decision to take a new job is based on the neighborhood and town you will be living in. Youll want to know what the schools are like, where the highways are, what types of recreation are available, and what it is like to live in a new town. Your real estate professional should be able to provide you with extensive information on the towns you are considering. Some knowledge may be from personal experience and other data will be online. The real estate agent who understands how precious a doctors time is will do the research and condense the information making it easy for you to compare neighborhoods. If you are moving from out of state, the real estate agents ability to research and communicate the resources you need to make an informed decision about where you live become even more important. Gather and prepares real estate market data so you dont over pay. Once you narrow your search to a geographic region, youll need to know what the real estate market looks like. What is the average sales price? What are the short and long term trends in these towns? How is the market performing in different price bands? Is the upper price tier improving faster than the general market? Working with a real estate agent who knows how to gather and interpret this data can help you save thousands during negotiations. Before you commit to an agent, ask them how they research comparable sales and ask for some sales trend graphs to be emailed to you. Preview and documents homes for sale. If you are transferring from more than a few hours away, it can be difficult to get away to tour and preview homes. A real estate agent used to working with out-of-state buyers understands this and will offer to preview homes, document them with photos and/or video, and post that content online for your review. This process can save extra trips to your new city and save you from looking at homes that do not fit your criteria. Works in unison with other real estate service providers. It takes more than just a real estate agent to get you moved in. A good real estate agent can work in harmony with your mortgage lender, attorney, home inspector, and moving company to help orchestrate a smooth relocation process. In most cases, your local real estate agent can make recommendations for these service providers if you need them and also help you locate local home service providers like a handyman, landscaper, and painter. Check out your prospective real estate agents web site for a list of resources they recommend. Selecting the right real estate professional is a critical early step in your relocation. The right agent can be your own local concierge that realizes your time is valuable, anticipates your questions and concerns and works with you to find the right home in the right location for your family.

  • Don't let the additional work of ICD-10 drive you into physician burnout

    In my work with hundreds of over stressed and burned out physicians, one thing is constant. Documentation is always one of their biggest sources of stress. In fact, if you ask the average working doctor to make a list of their top five stresses, documentation chores will take up three of the five slots. EMR - especially if you use multiple EMR software programs that don't talk to each other Dealing with lab reports and refill requests Returning patient and consultant calls and documenting them adequately and all the other places information streams have to be forced together by the sweat of your brow. The average doc is walking the cliff edge of overload on a significant number of office days in any given month. Now comes ICD-10 and my biggest fear is the extra work of the new coding system will push many physicians over the edge into burnout. How much more time will ICD-10 take? I have talked with several ICD-10 implementation experts who toss out comments like, "Only a couple minutes per patient", as if that were no big deal. If you see 25 patients a day, that is 50 minutes added to your office day starting October 1st. That amount of additional documentation work will drive many docs over the edge if you don't start preparing now. ICD-10 Highlights Expands the ICD-9 code set of 14,000 to 68,000 ICD-9 is 3-5 digits ICD-10 is up to 7 digits including ones for severity, location and cause Here is the CMS website detailing the differences between ICD-9 and ICD-10. First, recognize doctors fall into two groups with regards to coding. Each group has a different challenge and a different learning curve. 1) You code your own charts You and your staff probably have one or more dog eared cheat sheets of your most common codes lying around the office. These cheat sheets won't work under ICD-10. The additional codes for severity, location and cause will need to be added in manually.

    http://www.thehappymd.com/blog/physician-burnout-dont-let-icd-10-be-your-tipping-pointhttp://www.roadto10.org/whats-different/
  • Your task - master the lookup software and do it now. If you code your own charts, there is ICD-10 lookup software you will use instead of your cheat sheets. Figure out what code lookup software your organization has built into your EMR. Then dedicate yourself to becoming a power user. When you or a member of your team can look up complete, accurate codes on the fly with the software you will have mastered many of your new ICD-10 coding challenges. And once you have coded a number of charts to ICD-10 standards and see some patterns emerging, you may be able to create some new cheat sheets using the latest codes. 2) Someone else codes your charts Do not think you are out of the woods here. In fact, my consultant contacts tell me this is likely to be an even more difficult transition for you for one simple reason. Your current documentation is inadequate for someone else to select the proper, complete ICD-10 code. Remember the new codes for severity, location and cause? If you don't change your documentation so that information is present in all your charts, two things will happen starting 10/1: a) Your coder will probably bring every single chart back to you for clarification b) You will need to go back into the chart to change your documentation in addition to telling your coder what they need to do their job That double whammy will certainly tear your day to shreds if you don't get started beefing up your documentation now. Your task - raise your documentation game to ICD-10 standards now. Learn the additional information you must put in your chart notes to allow your coder to perform to ICD-10 standards. It is up to you to give them the information they need to do their new and more difficult job. No matter what, start to prepare now or your quality of life will suffer. First, learn everything you can about ICD-10 and how it will be implemented within your EMR in your practice. Create your own ICD-10 implementation action plan. This will guide your preparations between now and 10/1/2015. Here's the Road to 10 website from CMS to guide you through the process. Get with your IT team and EMR vendor and take the trainings on ICD-10 ASAP so you are ahead of the curve. Make your cheat sheet of most frequent codes - there are a number of situations where a new ICD-10 cheat sheet will still be useful. Remember to include the new severity, location and cause modifiers Master the ICD-10 lookup software that will be built into your specific EMR program for the patients who don't fit into your hot list. Know how it works and the quickest path to a final answer. If someone else codes for you, learn the specific severity, location and cause requirements for full coding. Start adding them to your routine documentation habits now. Most importantly - start documenting and coding to ICD-10 standards now so you don't have to spend an extra hour in the office starting October 1st Don't let ICD-10 drive you over the edge.

  • Personal Finance Tips & Tools from the world of financial planning

    Most people would like to have more money in their bank accounts, while working less. Although this may seem like a never-ending dilemma, there may be a solution. Think about it: The best way to stretch the money you make without working more hours is to avoid excess spending in the first place. Some people call this a budget but you could just as easily call it a spending plan.

    Here are 10 tips to help stretch your hard-earned cash in today's challenging economic climate:

    1. Create a spending plan. Many people resist the idea of a budget because they associate it with hardship and sacrifice. But instead, you can create a monthly spending plan for your fixed and discretionary expenses. By planning your spending, you may find that you spend money more wisely because you're consciously taking control.

    2. Pay yourself first. Put savings at the top of your spending plan. If you wait until the end of the month to save any leftover cash, you may find yourself without a cushion when you need it most. Be sure to set a savings goal. For example, strive to save at least 10% of your income before spending the rest.

    3. Track your spending. Record your expenditures for a month. Be especially careful about keeping track of any small, optional items you purchase. You may be surprised to discover how quickly purchases costing only a few dollars can add up. At the end of the month, review your expenditures and adjust your spending plan accordingly. Once you see where your money is going, you may decide to make different choices about your spending habits.

    4. Live within your means. Many people feel as if they never have quite enough money to live on, yet they probably know people who successfully manage on less. If your expenses are less than your income, you are living within your means.

    5. Shop for value. Look for opportunities to get more value from each dollar you spend. Join a warehouse or shopping club to buy items in bulk. Purchase clothing, furniture, and household goods on sale. Big-ticket items like cars and household appliances often depreciate substantially in the first one or two years. So, you may want to consider buying a certified, used car with reasonably low mileage or second-hand appliances in good condition for less.

    6. Minimize debt. Keep your debt level low. By reducing debt, you also minimize interest and finance charges. When you are tempted to charge a purchase, remember that you are committing to pay for it from income you have not yet earned.

    7. Eat In. Dining out can be expensive, since you are paying for the service, as well as the food. Meal taxes are also added to the bill while liquor and desserts, which you may not ordinarily eat at home, boost the tab even higher. Therefore, reserve the fine dining for special occasions only.

    8. Reduce housing costs. Housing is a major fixed expense. Consider reducing this cost by buying or renting a smaller place, or one with fewer amenities. If you rent and plan on staying in an area for more than a few years, consider buying. Owning a home is often more expensive than renting at first, but can be worthwhile in the long run.

    9. Trim transportation costs. Many families now own multiple vehicles and have additional costs for insurance, repairs, fuel, and parking. Consider using public transportation or carpooling with others, whenever possible. The savings in vehicle-related expenses may offset any inconvenience.

    10. Create a cash reserve. A cash reserve can help you stick to your spending plan and help keep you out of debt when emergencies, such as a major car repair or short-term disability, arise.

    Cutting back on excess spending does not have to mean continually denying yourself life's simple pleasures. Instead, you may find that with living within your means and paying yourself first, your debts will decrease as your savings grow. A personalized spending plan can help provide that extra income and stretch your hard-earned paycheck a little further.

  • A Number is not a Plan Anthony J. Ogorek, Ed.D., CFP

    Ogorek Wealth Management LLC There are any numbers of people who are pitching ways to get rich. They know that there is no magic to saving regularly and then investing intelligently. So actually leveling with you will not be effective. They need to provide you with a shortcut. Now that has appeal to people. Shortcuts have been used for years to not only sell us dubious propositions, but to make the purveyors wealthy. For instance, you may recall sure fire weight loss schemes that require just taking a pill; or wearing a garment that will melt the pounds off of you, or offer you a return that you know is too good to be true. In a sense you cant blame us for falling for shortcuts since we all have limited time, and want superlative results. In our experience financial shortcuts may not just disappoint you, but can cause permanent damage to your financial health. Creating and maintaining a financial plan can be a real effort. The payoff is that you have reasonable assurances that you will not outlive your money, and are managing the full array of risks that can tank your lifestyle. People without a plan often substitute a number for a plan. In other words they boil their future financial security down to a number or two. They may say that they need $1 million in assets and a 5% annual return to hit their retirement objectives. That is their plan. This motivation is so powerful that even some people who already have successful financial plans persist in ignoring their plan and pushing for their number. The danger with this approach is that you may be forcing yourself to accept more risk than necessary to meet your objectives. You may also deprive yourself of one of the most important things in life, peace of mind. Constantly worrying about the future is nobodys idea of a good time. It is also no fun when you realize that your number forced you to live much more frugally than necessary. I am all for simplification, but mapping out the next 20 or 30 years requires more than a number and a hoped for return on your portfolio.

    Insurance Protection for Physicians Part 1 David I. Katz, AAMS

    www.davidikatzauthor.com Successful medical professionals accumulate assets as they build their net worth, but its important to protect those assets from a variety of perils, including losing all your savings and having to start over again. Managing those risks in a cost-effective manner, while still saving and investing for the future involves maintaining a delicate balance. Purchasing insurance protection is an important piece of the financial package you should assemble as you begin your professional career. There may be financial benefits in purchasing multiple types of coverage from one insurer, and you may also have the benefit of single-source accountability. You should also consider your income level, personal circumstances and personal wealth as you make decisions about coverage. Homeowners or Renters Insurance These types of policies provide protection for your valuable personal assets. The specific dollar amounts of your coverage will vary depending on many factors, including the value of your home and personal possessions. For many middle-class and wealthy individuals, a family home may represent the largest portion of their total net worth. To protect that investment, you should consider a wealth protection plan that insures your home for the full replacement value.

    http://www.ogorek.com/http://www.davidikatzauthor.com/
  • You may also want to consider purchasing new types of insurance products: social media insurance, which protects individuals and business owners against lawsuits that can result from posts on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and other social media international travel insurance, which includes kidnap and ransom protection, accident and medical evacuation as well as political evacuation Captive Insurance Companies The objective is to reduce insurance costs, manage risks and do so with maximum tax efficiency.

    ~ attorney David Neufeld Many practices and other types of medical businesses are integrating a wholly owned insurance company called a captive insurance companyinto the business plan. The tax rules for captive insurance companies are complex. The IRS provides some guidance on the definition of insurance for tax purposes, in the context of a captive insurance company. Health Insurance Medical professionals have a wide range of coverage options for themselves and their families. There are basically four levels of coverageplatinum, gold, silver and bronzewith varying levels of benefits and co-pays. Its important to look at the various provider networks offered under the different plans to see which specialists and hospitals are included. A plan with only a small number of physicians, for instance, may not be a bargain, even if the premium is low. Disability Insurance Disability insurance can provide a stream of income in the event that you are disabled by an injury or medical condition. In general, there is a waiting period before the replacement income payment will take effect, and the payments will only continue for a certain time period. Long-Term Care Insurance If you become disabled and need assistance to stay in your home or can no longer live independently, long-term care insurance may help pay for the necessary residential care and treatments. In general, long-term care policies are designed to take effect after medical coverage ends and when you need help with at least two activities. Life Insurance If you have a spouse/partner or children, purchasing a life insurance policy can provide them with financial protection in the event of your death. Life insurance can also be used in estate and tax planning strategies. There are three basic types to consider: term, whole life and universal life policies: term life insurance will pay a cash amount to a beneficiary if the policyholder, such as yourself, dies during a certain period of time whole life insurance policy incorporates a savings and investment component universal or variable universal life incorporates some of the features of term and whole life insurance ~ excerpt from A Financial Prescription for Doctors and Dentists by David I. Katz About the author: In his 22-year career as a financial advisor, David I. Katz has worked extensively with doctors, dentists and their families, helping them put together solid financial plans for retirement. He knows the financial pitfalls including poorly constructed trust plans, expensive divorces and costly lawsuits that are among the top financial concerns for medical professionals. David I.

  • THE RECRUITERS CORNER Tips and Tools from Todays Physician Recruiter

    I have argued here before and I continue to believe that the only purpose a CV or resume serves is to get you a phone or personal interview. Even the best CV will not get you a job. With that said, there are things that should never make it into your CV that can keep you from getting an interview and ultimately the job you want. So what blunders should you avoid at all costs? Practice managers and in-house recruiters dont need to know your age. They really dont. If you are a graduating resident or fellow, they are going to look at the dates of your medical training (college graduating date for one) and do the math. If you are a practicing physician and list the dates of your medical school, they will still do the math. If you list your training without dates (my recommendation for practicing docs) you can still invite age discrimination with an opening statement of Seasoned physician with over 40 years of practice experience. Good luck. And for a hospital that is seeking a seasoned practitioner, including age information might brand you as too young and inexperienced for the job. A related gaff is to list every job you have ever had. A practice manager or interviewer is not going to be interested in non-medical part time jobs that you held while in high school. Im sure mom and dad were proud of your first lemonade stand but it is not going to help you land a vascular surgery post at an academic hospital. Keep focused and highlight your last ten to fifteen years of practice experience. When building your CV honesty is always the best policyup to a point. Dont try to hide any bumps in your career road but dont focus on the negatives. You will have plenty of time in a site visit or phone interview for that matter to discuss and explain problems in your past. Remember the purpose of your CVgetting an interview where you can promote your successes and skills. There is a fine line between experience and credentials. The effective CV focuses on results not assignments. Holding the post of chief of surgery is important and impressive. Far more impressive, however are the accomplishments and contributions during your tenure. What impact did your presence generate? How did your administrative skills positively impact the profitability of your organization? How many young physicians did you mentor? What clinical breakthroughs happened on your watch? What positive impact can a potential employer expect if they bring you on board? In other words, tell me what you have done, not where you have been. The fact that you enjoy hang gliding and mountain climbing will probably not play a deciding role in your interview success unless you are going into mountain rescue operations. The fact that you are a female will probably come out during the interview process. Being Hawaiian or Puerto Rican or Russian for that matter will be of little interest to an interviewer unless you have Visa issues or unless they are targeting ethnic minorities with language skills. Hobbies and unrelated passions have no place on your CV. Once again, remember the purpose of your resumegetting an interview. During the interview if you discover that the senior partner of the medical practice maintains a sail boat at the San Diego yacht club, you can point with pride at the fact that you crewed on an Americas Cup contender during your youth. Keep it simple. Keep it relevant. Keep it brief.

  • Navigating the Top Five Retirement Risks Brought to you by Charlotte A. Dougherty

    In conjunction with Lincoln Financial Advisors, a registered investment advisor

    Longer lives and better health translate into longer retirements and new concepts of what retirement should be. Many of todays retirees view retirement as a time to shift gears but not necessarily to slow down. They keep their skills sharp in new job roles or by starting businesses. They continue learning new skills by going back to school as both teachers and students. Some choose to serve on boards of directors or to pursue creative and artistic passions. However you define retirement for yourself, the bottom line is that you want to have enough money to live your life without constantly worrying that youll run out. It certainly pays to be prepared and to stay on plan. What to Look For A successful retirement plan begins, of course, with making smart savings and investing decisions long before you contemplate retiring. But of equal or even greater importance is how you manage your money after youve left your primary career and begin to turn to your investments to provide the income that supports your lifestyle. To boost the chances that your savings will let you live comfortably in retirement, there are five primary areas of risk that you need to address: Timing and Withdrawals: The amount you withdraw from your retirement portfolio and when you do so are two of the main determinants of how long the portfolio will last. For example, taking large withdrawals during bear markets such as those in 19731974 or 20002002 makes it hard for a portfolio to recover and grow. To the degree possible, you want to minimize drawing on your capital in a weak market since youll have less capital for the rebound. Your annual withdrawal rate should be smaller than your average annual return less inflation. Of course, to be conservative, you could bring it down even further, and your assets may continue to grow positively even though youre making withdrawals. Market Volatility: Related to the first risk, you need to position your portfolio to withstand inevitable swings in the market, and the way to do this is through diversification and asset allocation holding a combination of stocks, bonds, cash and alternative investments that matches your risk profile. Returns on these investments should be noncorrelated, so that when one area is down, another area is up. In retirement, you need diversification to perform a balancing act of having enough growth-oriented investments to help achieve acceptable long-term returns and bonds and other fixed income securities to provide steady income. Annuities could also make sense to provide at least a portion of your retirement income. Longevity: The good news is that you have a good chance of living to a ripe old age, but the risk here is essentially that you could outlive your assets. For a married couple who both reach age 65, there is more than a 60% chance that one of them will live to age 90 (Source: Ibbotson Associates, 2006). That means that if you retire at 65, you may need to plan for 25 years or more in retirement. Taxes and Inflation: Dont underestimate the ability of inflation to destroy spending power. Over the past 25 years, during which inflation has been fairly tame, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) the cost of a basket of goods and services determined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics has more than doubled. If inflation accelerates to 6%, prices would double in about 12 years. Health Care Costs: The CPI is often not the most accurate measure of your personal inflation rate, since you may spend disproportionately on health care as you age. These costs have traditionally run at double or triple the overall rate of inflation and are not under control. In addition, consider long-term care insurance as a way to help pay for some of the potential nursing home costs as you get older.
