			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://managedcareforum.com/">How to Stop Giving Your Money Away to Insurance Companies</a>&#8211;a free, multi-day teleconference put together by Laura Dessauer&#8211;December 6-10, 2010.  From the site:</p>
<blockquote><p>Whether you accept insurance or not&#8230;this invaluable Complimentary Tele-Forum will help you learn new strategies you can implement in your practice to help you save time, and create and keep more income, and help more clients.</p>
<p>During the Tele-Forum You Will Discover&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>How to avoid the most common – and costly</strong> &#8212; mistake therapists make when dealing with insurance</p>
<p><strong>How recent legislation (parity laws and health care reform)</strong> may affect your practice</p>
<p><strong>How to turn first-time callers into clients</strong> – even if you aren’t on their health plan</p>
<p><strong>How to join – and sell yourself to</strong> – health plans, since many are full</p>
<p><strong>A word-for-word script that instantly removes all traces</strong> of tension around “selling” and gives you complete permission to openly share your services with a potential client</p>
<p><strong>How to be perfectly positioned for purposeful profits </strong>during any season or economy</p>
<p><strong>How to create your managed care exit plan</strong> to safely and securely transition your practice to private pay</p></blockquote>
<p>And on from there&#8230;</p>
