Botox Training with the IAPAM Helps Physicians Boost Revenues

May 18, 2012 staronepr Leave a comment

As physician incomes decline, physicians are looking to cash based services to boost their bottom lines.

Las Vegas, Nevada, USA – May 18, 2012 — Physician income has declined since 2010, according to the recent Medscape’s Physician Compensation Survey Report: 2012 Results. Even among the top earning specialties (radiologists, orthopedic surgeons, cardiologists and anesthesiologists) incomes declined, and the bottom earning specialties (pediatrics, family medicine, and internal medicine) saw no gains.

Also, proposed changes in healthcare reform worry physicians, and fifty-two percent of physicians believe that incomes will be further negatively affected under proposed initiatives.

So, to boost their bottom lines, many physicians are adding cash-based services, like botox, to their healthcare businesses. From lasers to hCG, physicians who attend the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com) receive the training they need to add $100,000+ a year in non-insurance based revenue to an existing practice.

To insulate a practice from any looming changes in healthcare compensation, physicians need to incorporate these key fundamentals, as taught at the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium:

• Understanding the latest trends in aesthetic medicine and how to use them to one’s advantage;
• How to develop a successful business plan including steps on how to integrated medical aesthetics procedures into a practice or build a patient base;
• How to perform aesthetic patient consultations;
• How to add the most profitable cosmetic injectable procedures, including: Botox ®, Dysport ® and dermal fillers (i.e. Juvederm ®, Restylane ®, and Perlane ®), chemical peels, and physician directed skin care;
• Extensive, physician-lead, hands-on training in Botulinum Toxin Type A (i.e. Botox®), IPL / laser technology, and medical microdermabrasion; and
• How to maximize profits by offering the most profitable aesthetic medicine procedures like physician strength chemical peels, tailored to meet a specific clinic’s patient profiles.

For additional information and to register for an upcoming Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with botox training, please contact the IAPAM at 1-800-219-5108 ext.704, or visit http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com.

The IAPAM also offers long term support to physicians who are adding hCG and other aesthetic medicine treatments to a practice.

Unlike programs offered by private companies, attendees of the IAPAM’s hCG Training for Physicians, receive certification by the IAPAM, a voluntary professional association of physicians and supporters, which sets standards for the aesthetic medical profession.

With new technologies, as well as new ways to bundle and market existing procedures, the trend toward more minimally invasive procedures does not appear to be going away any time soon.” The IAPAM’s Jeff Russell shares that, “as we have seen with our past annual trends predictions, the key is creating an anti-aging program for each patient’s needs. Patients do on just come in for Botox ®, they want a combination of anti-aging treatments which often includes: neurotoxins, dermal fillers and skin rejuvenation with chemical peels, microdermabrasion and physician-directed skin care.”

Over 21,000 patients have successfully lost weight using the IAPAM’s Exclusive hCG Protocol, and a new study from Cornell University reports that rising healthcare costs can be positively impacted through offering patients safe and sustained weight loss programs.

Las Vegas, Nevada (April 18, 2012) — The IAPAM offers the most comprehensive hCG Training for physicians looking to add hCG for weight loss to their practices. Over 21,000 patients have successfully lost weight using the IAPAM’s Exclusive hCG Protocol, and a new study from Cornell University reports that rising healthcare costs can be positively impacted through offering patients safe and sustained weight loss programs.

A recent study from Cornell University found that, “obesity now accounts for almost 21 % of U.S. health care costs – more than twice the previous estimates.” The study also reports that “an obese person incurs medical costs that are $2,741 higher than if they were not obese. Nationwide, that translates into $190.2 billion per year, or 20.6 % of national health expenditures. Previous estimates had pegged the cost of obesity at $85.7 billion, or 9.1 % of national health expenditures.” Moreover, a similar study in March 2012 from the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, reported that, “obesity [now] adds more to health care costs than smoking does.”

In an effort to support physicians as they offer safe and effective weight management programs to their patients, the IAPAM (http://www.iapam.com) has developed a tool to bring trained hCG physicians and patients together: the IAPAM’s hCG Diet Clinic Directory (http://www.iapam.com/aesthetic-resources/hcg-diet-clinics). The IAPAM’s hCG Clinic Listing offers the most comprehensive hCG Diet Clinic listing of physicians, all of whom have been expertly trained in hCG for weight loss, by the IAPAM.

Patients seeking physicians, who have completed the IAPAM’s hCG Training, can browse the directory to find an hCG expert physician in their area. All physicians listed on the IAPAM hCG Diet Clinic Directory page have:

1. advanced training in utilizing hCG for weight loss,
2. only offer pharmaceutical grade hCG, and
3. all their hCG patients use the IAPAM’s comprehensive hCG Protocol Patient Guidebook.

Jeff Russell, Executive Director of the IAPAM, and a member of the expert faculty of instructors at the IAPAM’s hCG Physician Weight Loss Training, comments that, “since being showcased on the Dr. Oz Show in February 2011 and March 2012, patient demand for medically supervised hCG weight loss has exploded. We are seeing a correlating increase in physician-demand for the IAPAM’s hCG training, to capture this growing market.” To date, “well over 21,000 patients have successfully lost weight on hCG using the IAPAM’s Exclusive hCG Protocol (http://www.hcgtraining.com), based on Dr. Simeons manuscript, Pounds and Inches, and the IAPAM’s hCG training is taught by a faculty who operate hCG weight loss clinics, allowing physicians and their staff to learn from the faculty’s vast experience,” shares Russell.

IAPAM’s hCG Training is Complete and Comprehensive

In fact, the IAPAM’s hCG Training is the only medical weight loss training approved for a special medical malpractice rate for those who have attended and have been certified by the IAPAM.
