Medical Billing - GU0 Record Fields 31 Through 37
In our previous installment of medical billing, focusing on electronic transmission of claims and the GU0 record, we began our journey into the fields of the GU0 record that need a road map, a degree in advanced mapping and a lot of patience just to understand. In this installment, we pick up our review of the GU0 record with field number 31.GU0 field 31, position 117, is Reply ALN L01 N06. This is the response to the sixth question on any DMERC certification requiring a one position response. The forms supported are 01, 02, 04 and 07 for responses Y, N or D. For form 10, the valid response is either Y or N. Forms 03 and 09 are reserved for future use. The valid responses for for

Are Your Cleaning Customers Motivated by Quality or Price?
You don't have to be running your own business for very long to find out that customers are different when it comes to what they expect out of a cleaning service. There are those customers who want the best, no matter what the cost. On the other end of the spectrum are price conscious customers who are more concerned with how their cleaning expenses fit into their overall budget than anything else. Marketing to these two distinctly different groups can indeed be a challenge.What are the differences between the "budget conscious" and the "quality minded" customers? There are always individuals who will make their final decision based on price. However, that doesn't necessarily mean that

One of the best ways to quickly build your business, get high quality clients, and have it happen pretty easily, are referrals. Absolutely. Whether you get these from friends, family, or networking groups (the way I have for years), it is key to building a successful, sustainable business—provided you give exceptional service.

If you deliver exceptional service, it’s a win-win-win. The first, and foremost, win is you are thoroughly fulfilling the promise you gave when you opened your business (honoring the sign that hangs in front of your door so to speak). The second win is the value the client receives (they needed to improve their life and you gave them that). The third is people like to talk. (People LOVE to share their experiences—whether it is to pass on the really good or to warn others about the really bad. You benefit greatly by the first option.)

Yes, you would think giving exceptional service would be obvious; however, unfortunately, for some it’s not. If you don’t, if there’s no commitment to excellence on your end, then not only will a current client be affected, but the chance they will NOT refer you is simply guaranteed. Actually, most likely the opposite will happen—they’ll tell people to avoid doing business with you.

I’ll give you a “for instance” of what happened to me recently, at the dry cleaners.

For weeks I’d been meaning to get a new pair of pants hemmed (I have short legs and can never find pants that fit right), I took them to one of the four dry cleaners that do alterations within a two- block radius of my Greenwich Village apartment.

Now, before I get to the heart of the story, let me give you the ‘before picture.’ I stopped into this particular dry cleaner with two pairs of pants. One pair of pants was solid black and one black with stripes. The striped pair had small, gold pins in the hem that I had strategically placed there in desperation for a wedding I attended. (Embarrassing, but true. I’m going for full disclosure here.) The alterations were marked, the seamstress and I had a pleasant conversation about marriage and I went on my merry way.

After picking up my pants, I discovered the striped pair had not been altered at all. When I put them on at home one pant leg was as long as it had been and the other still had my original pins in it! I understand an honest mistake, no big deal. Back to the dry cleaner I went. The seamstress was not there, so the owner took my pants and marked them “re-do.”

When I went back to pick up my pants for the second time, the seamstress brought them out—untouched and not hemmed. I knew right away because I saw one of my original gold pins shining in the pant leg. She told me I had never brought these particular pants in to be hemmed and that I was a liar (actual word used). Right then and there, in just one sentence, she lost thousands of dollars worth of potential business. I was shocked. I’m still not sure what shocked me most: 1) I was accused of bringing in pants off the street for a random free hem job, 2) I was called a liar, 3) I was refused a refund for the original cost of the alteration, or 4) all of this disruption was worth the cost of this job to this business owner.

And what was that cost? $5.40.

Here’s what was affirmed for me through that experience:

As solo-entrepreneurs, we have a DUTY to uphold integrity in our business. There’s a lot that’s being overlooked in business conduct these days. If we don’t uphold utmost value, who will?

Clients want to work with people who deliver what they say they will deliver.

There are many who offer what you offer. If you don’t deliver 110%, they will go to someone who will. (The other day—ironically or not—I had a neighbor ask me where I bring my dry cleaning. I for sure told them where NOT to go.)

Stepping Stones To The Ultimate Pay Off
If you have ever been in the position, looking for new ways to earn more, "you have got to ask your self a serious question? Am I ready to learn more? Famous words from a very important instructor. "Give a man a fish and he will eat once, teach a man to fish and he eats forever."And that's the mission when you become internet wise. We all start at some point where we realize that the internet is a mass producing money machine. It's kind of like staring at a pot of gold looking at you straight in the face.The problem is figuring how to tap into it, so you can get your share of the multi-billion dollar industry.

In Business, Image Isn't Everything; It's The Only Thing!
We have all heard this lament, but how much do we practice it. With all the relaxed rules today, do we really present ourselves in the best light. It seems all the articles I see today are about how old fashioned today's workers find their supervisors or bosses to be in the way they dress, the policies they implement and the old fashioned ways in which they conduct their business. I am of the belief, and will continue to believe, that the first impression I make is the lasting one. Whether it is by phone or in person, I want to present myself in the best possible light. But then again, I am from the old school, the one today's workers are complaining about. Let's look at the c

Freelancer, Consultant, or Entrepreneur - What's the Difference?
Remember the poor little bird in P. D. Eastman's much beloved children's book Are You My Mother? The one who hatches from his egg while his mother is out scratching around for food and can't figure out who he is? By the middle of the story, this confused hatchling is in the midst of a full-blown identity crisis, wandering around asking everyone, "Are you my mother?"That's how it is in the business world. We bandy around the words freelancer, consultant, and entrepreneur as if they are interchangeable, although they are not. Sometimes our clients are confused. Often we are, too. When we aren't clear about how we offer our products and services, it makes it difficult for potential

where NOT to go.)

Your EnergyRICH™ Call To Action:

Be courteous. Now every once in awhile you might have someone who will push boundaries and take advantage of your seal. Don’t let it phase you. Listen to what they have to say. Take their suggestion if it’s on target. Appease them. Give them their money back. MOVE ON. You will be much more prosperous in the long run; trust me.

Most important—don’t promise something you can’t deliver. Some business “experts” will tell you this is ok to do. Instead, I go back to the essence of an EnergyRICH™ Business: integrity. If you do take on something you can’t fulfill, again, be honest and do whatever you need to do to rectify the situation.

Let’s close with a caution:

No need to be paranoid about the level of service you offer. You know when you’re giving your best.
