In 2017, prior to discovering MEG Academy, Jason Waz (PT) was an owner who was overwhelmed working in his practice. He didn’t have time to work out for himself what changes needed to be made to help his practice grow and afford him a better work/life balance. His practice, Competitive Edge Performance, was highly regarded within his community as a premier PT provider to the common everyday person and professional athlete alike. As a result, he made a conscious effort to stay on top of the latest manual techniques and PT technologies that would yield exceptional outcomes.

Prior to transitioning to MEG Academy – like so many owners who attempt to run their practice from the hat of a PT instead of a CEO, the vital business, personnel, and marketing successful actions were lacking for Jason. He was failing to wear the hats necessary to provide business growth and stability. He began searching for a PT practice management system which would result in the company culture he desired, along with increased operator skills and certainty.

He knew that in order for things to change, he needed to hire another PT; but he worried about not having enough patients to support them, which for so many is a catch-22. He decided to seek out some guidance from a professional business coach because he saw first-hand how the best athletes worked with their own personal coaches to develop their skills even further.

Since working with MEG Business Management …

At the end of 2017, Jason began working with MEG Business Management at first for one-on-one personalized coaching, but then went on to MEG Academy. Within the first six months of training, he was able to step back from being the full-time clinician in his clinic to being the CEO. Now that he understood the hat of the CEO and the metrics that he needed to hold in on others, it all of a sudden became easy for him to make decisions that would have an immediate impact on the practice. He credits MEG Academy for giving him the training he needed to put in the structure and systems of operations not only for himself, but also for his staff. His numbers speak for themselves in all areas of the practice; marketing, production, efficiency, and financial. 

• He now treats patients only 2 days per week and is able to work on his practice as the CEO. 
• In 2018, CEP increased revenue by 74% compared to the previous 5-year average. 
• Over the past year, he has hired three additional licensed practitioners that consistently meet their productivity metrics and is recruiting additional staff, as the growth in year 2 under MEG is exceeding 30% each month. 
• He now has a management team in place along with systems of accountability that effectively handle the day-to-day operations of the practice, whether he is present or not. 

With his coaching hours, Jason learned that his business would do much better in another location. So he decided to trust the MEG management system and set up in a new location according to all the stats and metrics that he had been taught to guide himself throughout its early beginning. During the same month of the move, his practice had a record number of visits – the first test that proved that the “MEG approach” was working, with many more to follow. 

Prior to working with MEG, Jason’s family missed him on the weekends because he was always catching up. Nowadays he is home on the weekends, and can leave the clinic to have family time as he pleases. He was able to take nearly a month off in July 2019 to travel with his family, all while his staff had the most productive month in the history of his practice. 

“I have grown so much as a business owner and as a person since I met Brian and the MEG team at the end of 2017.” Jason has also been able to dedicate more time to his other business: the NeuPT Tech. Through NeuPTTech he has educated dozens of other PT practice owners on how to take their practice to the next level through innovation and technology: “I am now well on my way to having the practice and the life I always wanted – I just didn’t know how to get there.” 

“It took me ten plus years in practice to realize the need to hire a consultant. Whether you are starting up a practice, or have operated your practice for a decade or more like me, I absolutely and unequivocally recommend seeking the advice and direction from someone like Brian and his team at MEG Business Management.” 

Back in 2002, as a PT private practice owner, Brian Gallagher let go two of his three billers in one week. For three months, he worked full time as a biller learning how to post payments, make collections and submit claims. Since then, he’s consulted over 400 offices nationwide and knows that billing and collections is one of the most common issues that private practice owners have today.

Owners know that they aren’t getting paid fully for the work they and their staff are doing, billers come and go in an area where they are unable to fully train. Even if you outsource to a billing company, usually the billing firm you contract with will only go after low hanging fruit and won’t treat your billing as it’s their own.

With our team of almost 50 dedicated, physical, occupational and speech therapy-only billers, posters and account control officers, we bring efficiency and accuracy to your billing operations. We aim to provide not only billing solutions, but we also work with and improve your front desk and therapists. We become your partner in your billing and collections and make the process easy, painless and understood by all parties involved!
