		<description><![CDATA[&lt;strong&gt;FOR MARCH 2008
EXCLUSIVE &quot;DDS-DMD&quot; SPECIAL REPORT FOR DENTISTS&lt;/strong&gt;

A very special report on dentists - their professional practice career and economic life cycle - by a leading national dental management corporate executive.

&lt;strong&gt;Subscribe Now:&lt;/strong&gt; http://feeds.feedburner.com/HealthcareFinancialsthePostForcxos

&lt;strong&gt;AUTHOR:&lt;/strong&gt; Thomas A. Knox MBA was senior vice-president for provider partnerships at Delta Dental Plan of Minnesota, which owns a major interest in a privately held dental practice management corporation [DPMC]. 

&lt;strong&gt;POSITION:&lt;/strong&gt; Mr. Knox held senior leadership positions in several health care organizations for more than twenty-five years. He implemented various joint ventures, partnerships and business alliances in a variety of medical organizations. He is recently retired.

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TOPIC:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Practice Management and Financial Planning:  It’s [NOT] for Dentist’s Only

&lt;strong&gt;EXCERPT&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;em&gt; “The challenge is that for many dentists their practice is too big and too profitable to sell to new dentists who have been, traditionally, the practice buyers. Almost fifty percent of present day dentists are baby boomers pushing 50-55 years of age. And unfortunately, they cannot afford to retire at this point and still maintain the lifestyle they have created. 

But, the temptation is there - the thought is occurring more frequently - and it is very compelling and very frustrating.”&lt;/em&gt;

EXCLUSIVE SPECIAL REPORT
“MEDICAL PRACTICE VALUATION BLUNDERS”&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;April 1st 2008&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;

A very special tax season report on the top-ten medical practice fair-market-valuation blunders to avoid, by leading health economists from the Institute of Medical Business Advisors, Inc in Atlanta, GA. http://www.MedicalBusinessAdvisors.com

&lt;strong&gt;AUTHORS&lt;/strong&gt;: Dr. David Edward Marcinko; MBA, CMP™ - a CEO and former Certified Financial Planner™ - with important contemporaneous contributions by Hope Rachel Hetico; RN, MHA, CMP™ 

&lt;strong&gt;POSITION&lt;/strong&gt;: As a clinician and past president of a privately held Physician Practice Management Corporation (PPMC) in the Midwest, &lt;em&gt;Dr. David Edward Marcinko &lt;/em&gt;helped consolidate 95 solo medical practices, with $50 million in sales revenues as the company’s IPO roll-up attempt was aborted due to adverse market conditions, in 1999. A nationally recognized leader in the healthcare management, economics and financial advisory industry, he is a pioneer in utilizing technology to improve quality education and advisory services, while simultaneously reducing delivery costs http://www.stpub.com/pubs/authors/MARCINKO.htm

&lt;em&gt;Hope Rachel Hetico RN MHA&lt;/em&gt; has a well-documented history of identifying innovations in education and accelerating their adoption by the healthcare industrial complex. Formerly, she was a healthcare administrator, financial advisor and medical insurance professional. She was also a Certified Professional in Healthcare Quality™ and National Corporate TQI Manger for Abbey Healthcare http://www.stpub.com/pubs/authors/HETICO.htm

&lt;strong&gt;TOPIC&lt;/strong&gt;: “The Top-Ten Medical Practice Valuation Blunders to Avoid”

&lt;strong&gt;EXCERPT&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;em&gt;“The science of the modern medical practice valuation can be traced to the Estate of Edgar A. Berg v. Commissioner (T. C. Memo 1991-279). In this case, the Court criticized CPAs as not being qualified to perform business valuations, failing to provide analysis of an appropriate discount rates, and making only general references to justify their “Opinion of Value.” 

In rejecting accountants, the Court accepted IRS economists because of background, education and training, as well as discount rate calculations and reproducible evidence applied to the assets being examined. This marked the beginning of the Tax Court leaning toward the side with the most comprehensive appraisal. Previously, it had a tendency to “split the difference.” 

Now, some feel the Berg case launched the valuation profession; especially for contemporaneous health economists and fiduciary medical practice advisors.”&lt;/em&gt;

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;strong&gt;FOR May 2008
EXCLUSIVE SPECIAL REPORT&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;SIX-SIGMA PRIMER&lt;/strong&gt; [Physicians, Hospital Administrators and Healthcare Executives]
&lt;strong&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;A very special report on improving medical care quality and related healthcare delivery initiatives thru manufacturing concepts of six-sigma, by a leading physician-executive and senior six-sigma practitioner from Creative Health, USA. This feature was prompted by the many inquires after an original brief post on the same topic.&lt;/strong&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;AUTHOR:&lt;/strong&gt; Dr. Daniel L. Gee MD MBA, Principal from &lt;em&gt;Creative Health USA&lt;/em&gt;, in Scottsdale Arizona. Dr. Gee believes that; “six-sigma is more than simply allocating resources to correct a problem - it&#039;s a proven methodology designed to uncover, isolate, understand, and remedy the root causes of problems”. 

&lt;strong&gt;POSITION&lt;/strong&gt;: Dr. Daniel L. Gee is an expert in operating suite dynamics and logistics, having helped establish two hospital-based obstetrical anesthesiology programs, in Phoenix. Formerly, he was managing partner for a multi-specialty anesthesiology practice in the southwest, and Chief of Anesthesiology at John C. Lincoln Hospital in Phoenix. Dr. Gee designed pharmaceutical protocols for clinical practice, was a speaker for Glaxo Pharmaceuticals and served on formulary committees and as an investigator for clinical trial programs. He received a BS with Honors from University of Southern California, an MBA from Arizona State University, and his medical degree from University of Arizona. He is a Diplomate of the American Board of Anesthesiology and an active medical practitioner.

&lt;strong&gt;TOPIC&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;strong&gt;Six-Sigma Primer&lt;/strong&gt; [Physicians, Hospital Administrators and Healthcare Executives]

&lt;strong&gt;EXCERPT:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;&quot;The key to winning in sports is to gain a competitive edge. Athletes must train harder and seek out new training methods; new ideas of physical or mental conditioning just to stay ahead. Likewise, in healthcare, gaining and maintaining a competitive edge or, even surviving, in today’s healthcare environment will demand strong managerial skills and an organizational culture devoted to cutting edge thinking.

All stakeholders in healthcare, from physicians to hospital board members, are searching for ways to deliver quality and service for greater patient satisfaction at affordable costs. They want to improve reimbursements, operational efficiencies, retention of labor, medical and pharmaceutical error reduction and above all, minimize expenditures. 

Achieving these lofty goals requires looking beyond the borders of one’s own industry for management initiatives that drive both quality and low cost while serving the customer in his or her own best interest. The healthcare industry’s holy-grail of providing quality while minimizing cost is often thought of as extremely difficult to attain, until now.

What is happening in the manufacturing and outside service industries is a valuable lesson for healthcare managers and providers to learn and stay competitive. The hottest management improvement initiative sweeping many industries is the one approach with the most visible success above all improvement methods so far. It is not a hot new fad or passing fancy but rather, a flexible system built on the best of past management ideas and proven practices of the business world’s most successful companies. It is a philosophy designed to markedly improve an organization’s performance and its management leadership.”&lt;/em&gt;

EXCLUSIVE SPECIAL REPORT
&lt;strong&gt;Evolutionary Shifts in the Primacy of Medical Ethics &lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;em&gt;[Philosophic Ruminations and Personal Interviews]&lt;/em&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;AUTHOR: &lt;/strong&gt;Render S. Davis; MHA, CHE of Crawford Long Hospital at Emory University
Atlanta Georgia USA

&lt;strong&gt;POSITION&lt;/strong&gt;: Render S. Davis is a certified healthcare executive. He served as Assistant Administrator for General Services, Policy Development, and Regulatory Affairs at Crawford Long Hospital of Emory University from 1977-95. He is currently an Administrator for Special Projects and Co-Chair of the Ethics Committee of Crawford Long Hospital, and an independent healthcare consultant in the areas of policy and ethics.

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;strong&gt;FOR JULY 2008
EXCLUSIVE SPECIAL REPORT
Understanding Financial Designations and Certifications&lt;/strong&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;AUTHORS&lt;/strong&gt;: Dr. David Edward Marcinko; MBA, CMP™ and Hope Rachel Hetico; RN, MHA, CMP™ 

&lt;strong&gt;POSITION&lt;/strong&gt;: Publisher-in-Chief, and Managing Editor of the &lt;em&gt;Executive-Post&lt;/em&gt;, respectively. 

&lt;strong&gt;TOPIC&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;strong&gt;Financial Designations and Certifications &lt;/strong&gt;[Alphabet Soup of Industry Obfuscation and Self-Promotion, or Real Gravitas – You Decide?]

&lt;strong&gt;EXCERPT&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;em&gt;&quot;Until recently, most financial advisors were regulated by the NASD, the National Association of Securities Dealers. Now the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority or FINRA is the largest non-governmental regulator for all securities firms doing business in the United States.  It is a self-regulatory agency comprised of the nation’s brokerage firms. Upon completion of a required exam the FINRA will issue a variety of licenses.  The most common are the Series 6, 7, and 24.
	
The Series 6 is essentially a license to sell packaged products, namely mutual funds.  It is most commonly held by insurance agents and bank representatives.  It is considered a very easy test.  Holding such a license allows the holder to collect commission income through its member firm.  
	
The Series 7 exam is a bit more difficult and includes issues relating to individual securities such as stocks, bonds and limited partnership interests.  The pass rate is lower than the Series 6.  The probable culprit is the extensive questioning on margin and options, topics most are unfamiliar with prior to entering the securities business.   
	
The Series 24 covers issues of compliance and supervision and is required of Branch Managers of brokerage firms.  All registered representatives (the proper name for a broker) must be supervised by someone with a Series 24, also known as a principal’s license.
	
Checking the background of a registered representative, a branch manager or a member firm is easily done through NASD and/or FINRA Regulation, Inc. NASDR/FINRA maintains the Central Registration Depository (CRD). The CRD can be checked for a description of a disclosed event by phone or by Internet.  One should request information on an advisor’s firm as well as the individual.  A reputable advisor at a disreputable firm has its own set of potentially dangerous implications.
	
Regardless of the above, these tests produce licenses to sell financial products. They are not educational achievements. There is virtually no academic barrier to entry for them. Stock-brokers today - hate the term - and prefer “financial advisor”; yet the term has no real meaning other than as a sales license. 

Some are college graduates, and beyond; while some other experts argue too many are not!&quot;&lt;/em&gt;

EXCLUSIVE SPECIAL REPORT&lt;/strong&gt;
HIPAA Rules and Dentistry
 
&lt;strong&gt;AUTHOR:&lt;/strong&gt; By Darrell Pruitt; DDS
&lt;strong&gt;POSITION:&lt;/strong&gt; A private practice dentist in East Fort Worth, Texas and previous contributor to the &lt;em&gt;Executive-Post &lt;/em&gt;on the NPI conundrum.

&lt;strong&gt;TOPIC:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;A Survey of Dentists&lt;/em&gt; [Pilot Study]

A survey of 18 dentists was performed using the Internet as a platform. The dentists were presented with ten HIPAA compliancy requirements followed by a series of questions concerning their compliancy as well as the importance of the requirements in dental practices.

Frustration with the tenets of the mandate, as well as open defiance is evident by the written responses.  In addition, it appears that a dentist’s likelihood of satisfying a requirement is related to the dentist’s perceived importance of the requirement. Even though this is a limited pilot study, there is convincing evidence that more thorough investigation concerning the cost and benefits of the requirements need to be performed before enforcement of the HIPAA mandate is considered for the nation’s dental practices.

&lt;strong&gt;EXCERPT&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;em&gt;“Dr. Gerald Daniel seems to have captured many of the dentists’ feelings about the HIPAA Rule when he lamented, “We try to comply, however many times I feel every government agency in the country wants to run my practice without regard to the problems, expense or aggravation it causes the health provider.”

&lt;strong&gt;EXCLUSIVE SPECIAL REPORT&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;em&gt;American Medical News &lt;/em&gt;Interview [September 15, 2008] 

&lt;strong&gt;INTERVIEWED:&lt;/strong&gt; Dr. David Edward Marcinko; MBA, CMP™
&lt;strong&gt;REPORTER:&lt;/strong&gt; Karen Caffarini 
&lt;strong&gt;POSITION:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;Executive-Post&lt;/em&gt; Publisher-in-Chief, former president of a PPMC in the Mid-West and Certified Financial Planner ™; noted author, speaker, health economist and medical practice management evangelist.

&lt;strong&gt;TOPIC:&lt;/strong&gt; &quot;Medical Practice Appraisals and Valuations&quot;
[[Unedited Question-Answer Interview]

&lt;strong&gt;EXCERPT:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;“The allocated purchase price must be reported to the IRS. Goodwill is considered a capital asset. Therefore, the seller will want to allocate as much of the selling price to goodwill as possible. The buyer will want to allocate more of the selling price to non-goodwill assets because goodwill amortization is not tax deductible while depreciation and amortization of other assets is tax deductible. This &quot;negotiated&quot; goodwill will stand as the IRS value. 

Thus, the IRS has effectively forced the controversial goodwill determination on practice buyers and sellers. This makes it even more imperative for buyers to specifically identify any hidden practice assets they are acquiring at the time of purchase; or for purchasers to discover them.”&lt;/em&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;Dark Humor&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Q:&lt;/strong&gt; What asset class might have less value right now than a toxic credit-debt-swap-obligation [CDSO]?
&lt;strong&gt;A: &lt;/strong&gt;A private medical practice!

<strong>EXCLUSIVE SPECIAL REPORT</strong><br />
<em>American Medical News </em>Interview [September 15, 2008] </p>
<p><strong>INTERVIEWED:</strong> Dr. David Edward Marcinko; MBA, CMP™<br />
<strong>REPORTER:</strong> Karen Caffarini<br />
<strong>POSITION:</strong> <em>Executive-Post</em> Publisher-in-Chief, former president of a PPMC in the Mid-West and Certified Financial Planner ™; noted author, speaker, health economist and medical practice management evangelist.</p>
<p><strong>TOPIC:</strong> &#8220;Medical Practice Appraisals and Valuations&#8221;<br />
[[Unedited Question-Answer Interview]</p>
<p><strong>EXCERPT:</strong> <em>“The allocated purchase price must be reported to the IRS. Goodwill is considered a capital asset. Therefore, the seller will want to allocate as much of the selling price to goodwill as possible. The buyer will want to allocate more of the selling price to non-goodwill assets because goodwill amortization is not tax deductible while depreciation and amortization of other assets is tax deductible. This &#8220;negotiated&#8221; goodwill will stand as the IRS value. </p>
<p>Thus, the IRS has effectively forced the controversial goodwill determination on practice buyers and sellers. This makes it even more imperative for buyers to specifically identify any hidden practice assets they are acquiring at the time of purchase; or for purchasers to discover them.”</em></p>

EXCLUSIVE SPECIAL REPORT&lt;/strong&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;AUTHOR:&lt;/strong&gt; Jeffrey Coons; PhD, CFA
&lt;strong&gt;AUTHOR:&lt;/strong&gt; Christopher J. Cummings; CFA, CFP™
&lt;strong&gt;TOPIC:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;Participant-Directed Investment Menus&lt;/em&gt;

Despite current market uncertainty, this white-paper will examine several different ways of categorizing investment options and discuss their usefulness in an average healthcare participant’s efforts to build a long-term investment program with an appropriate risk/return trade-off.  We will specifically examine the problems associated with manager style classifications (e.g., “growth” versus “value” or “growth &amp; income” versus “growth”, etc.), with the general conclusion that style categories fail to pass the test of the four basic questions listed below.

&lt;strong&gt;EXCERPT&lt;/strong&gt;: 
&lt;em&gt;
The goal of designing a participant-directed investment menu should be to provide enough diversification of roles to allow participants, physician-executives and trustees to make an appropriate trade-off between risk and return, without having so many roles as to create participant confusion.  Ultimately, the burden on plan fiduciaries to adequately educate employees is largely driven by the investment decisions we require them to make in the plan, with more choices necessitating a greater understanding of the fundamental differences between and appropriate role for each choice.  The logical questions that arise when selecting options on a menu are:

1. Are there clear differences among the options?
2. Are these differentiating characteristics inherent to the option or potentially fleeting?
3. Are the differences among options easily communicated to and understood by the typical plan participant?

Most importantly, if healthcare participants are given choice among these different options, can the decisions they make reasonably be expected to result in an appropriate long-term investment program?&lt;/em&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;Don’t miss it!&lt;/strong&gt;

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;strong&gt;FOR JANUARY 2009&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;A New “Look and Feel”&lt;/strong&gt;

Beginning this year, the &lt;em&gt;Medical Executive-Post&lt;/em&gt; will have a slightly new “look and feel.” The changes are being made after several cogent suggestions from astute subscribers. Hopefully, our growing status in the traditional print, and new-wave electronic publishing medium, will be elevated too. No doubt, you will note and appreciate the following changes:

• Longer posts and stories 
• More in-depth reporting
• Audios and pod-casts
• More photos and images
• Crossing referencing
• More op-ed pieces
• Personalized by-line stories
• Added videos and webcasts
• Larger fonts-varying styles

We hope these changes will enhance the quality and subject-matter gravitas of the &lt;em&gt;Medical Executive-Post &lt;/em&gt;in 2009. Our goal is to increase readership and extend our subscriber base with richer media presentations. 

And so, please tell us - how are we doing? As a social network of health economics and financial professionals, laboring at the “intersection of medical-mission and profit-margin”, we are at your service.

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;strong&gt;FOR JUNE 2009&lt;/strong&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;What: &lt;/strong&gt;An Interview and Special Report Exclusively Prepared for the &lt;em&gt;ME-P&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Who:&lt;/strong&gt; Mr. Jack Levy, CISSP [President – Securebill, Inc] 
&lt;strong&gt;Topic:&lt;/strong&gt; Physician Selection of eHRs
&lt;strong&gt;Reporter:&lt;/strong&gt; Amaury Cifuentes; CFP®
&lt;strong&gt;Where:&lt;/strong&gt; Internet Ether

Although skeptics of eHRs abound, President Barack H. Obama’s signing of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act [ARRA] of 2009 has created a massive push for their implementation. The Act provides $19.2 billion, including $17.2 billion for financial incentives to be administered by Medicare and Medicaid. This assistance - of up to $40 to $65 thousand per eligible physician - and up to $11 million per hospitals - begins in 2011.

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;strong&gt;FOR JULY 2009&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;What&lt;/strong&gt;: Five articles for HCP [live] and the Healthcare Professionals Network 
&lt;strong&gt;Who&lt;/strong&gt;: Dr. David Edward Marcinko; MBA
&lt;strong&gt;Topic&lt;/strong&gt;: Various
&lt;strong&gt;Where&lt;/strong&gt;: Internet Ether

We are pleased to report on the response to many of our featured posts and informative articles; some positive, others not so. Of course, many of the most positive “kudos” go out to our Publisher-in-Chief, Dr. David Edward Marcinko; MBA. Most folks simply love his musings. This is appropriate since our complimentary ME-P personal blog, and its’ companion premium-institutional subscription guide: &lt;strong&gt;Healthcare Organizations &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;[Journal of Financial Management Strategies]&lt;/em&gt; on CD-ROM, was his brain-child. He has quite the national, and international, reputation &lt;em&gt;ya know.&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Link:&lt;/em&gt; www.HealthcareFinancials.com

&lt;strong&gt;Reputation Augmentation or Decimation&lt;/strong&gt;

Of course, for good or for bad, Dave’s reputation is sure to be augmented [cough-cough] as he begins his most recent public [private] speaking and book signing tour in the Upper Peninsula, of Michigan. As usual, he will be “teaching and preaching”, and “signing and opining.” So, contact me daily for his travel itinerary this month, and I’ll let you know his exact venue. Perhaps you’ll have time to catch-up with him. If not, just give him an electronic “shout–out” on this ME-P platform.
&lt;em&gt;Link&lt;/em&gt;: http://healthcarefinancials.wordpress.com/dr-david-marcinko%e2%80%99s-bookings/

&lt;strong&gt;Book Signing and Speaking Tour&lt;/strong&gt;

Nevertheless, Dave sure does seem to invite controversy wherever he goes. His polemics are just that note-able, and dare I say, controversial. And so, here are five more articles written by Dave and posted on the &lt;em&gt;HCP Live&lt;/em&gt; [beta] website and &lt;em&gt;Healthcare Professionals Network&lt;/em&gt;. The Editor, &lt;em&gt;Peter Kelly&lt;/em&gt;, is a colleague and Dave was pleased to write for him. We all are firm believers in the motto: “Give Blog – Get Blog.” If the postings are new to you – please enjoy them all with our compliments. If not; re-read and relish them again. SEARCH word: Marcinko
&lt;em&gt;Link&lt;/em&gt;: http://www.hcplive.com/hcplive/search

&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion&lt;/strong&gt;

And so, your thoughts and comments on this &lt;em&gt;Medical Executive-Post&lt;/em&gt; are appreciated. I’ll try to hold down the e-publishing-fort, until Dave returns in mid-July. Until then, please tell us what you think. Feel free to review our top-left column, and top-right sidebar materials, links, URLs and related websites, too. Then, be sure to subscribe to the ME-P. It is fast, free and secure.
