Many of us thought that by now the real estate market's favor would have swung from buyers to sellers, but that does not appear to be the case. With summer coming to a close, some would argue that a solid home buyer in today's flat real estate market is the commodity of choice.Nervous sellers and builders sometimes consider lowering their asking prices in an effort to broaden their market, but such actions may merely improve the scenario for...more
Medical Receivables Funding: The Rx for Ailing Cash FlowThe current adverse financial structure of the healthcare industry has placed hospitals, medical groups, private practitioners and other providers in a perilous position. Cumbersome and bureaucratic third party billing systems with long time-to-collection waiting periods have resulted in inconsistent cash flows and limited capital for growth. Nationwide, two-thirds of physicians work in practices that are set up as small business. Payment cuts 18% over four years, together with soaring malpractice premiums and other overhead costs, have threatened to put such practices out of businesses. More than 50% of doctors have deferred plans to purchase much-needed new equipment, and 30% either have laid off staff or are planning layoffs in the near future.What is medical receivable funding?Medical receivable funding is a means by which health care providers (Hospitals, Doctors, Outpatient Facillities, Physical Therapists, Dialysis Facillities, MRI Centers, Durable Equipment Suppliers, Rehab Centers, Medical Labs, & Substance Abuse Clinics) receive immediate cash for their billings to third party payors (i.e. commercial insurance...more

The longer I've been around companies the more I believe the words "Planning" and "Decision" are seldom used in the same sentence! And the business fallout because of poor planning when making decisions is staggering. The effects of a decision gone bad tend to linger around for months or even years. It is a fact that most businesses fail not because they did not make decisions but because they did not make good decisions. With so much riding on your ability to make the right decisions it is prudent to brush up on the technique of decision making and the process involved in planning to make them. Planning allows a decision to be made on your terms and in a much more comfortable and intelligent way. It allows you the time to consider several options without the last minute rush. There are four benefits to decision-making planning: 1. PLANNING ALLOWS YOU TO SET THE GOALS YOU WANT. That means you are not so much focused on the external events that don't relate to what you are trying to accomplish. Many decisions are incorrectly made based on things that steer one's life rather than becoming proactive decision-makers. 2. PLANNING PROVIDES A WAY TO MEASURE SUCCESS. The...more
