But many of us still struggle with getting paid for our services. Why is that? For many of us, we have personal blocks or beliefs that get in the way. Today, I’m talking about some of those beliefs that may keep you from collecting the money that you should collect. I’ll also talk through the practical elements of a payment policy and how we get to the point of sending folks to collections.

Folks have tons of questions about hourly vs. salary vs. percentage (which I’ve covered on the podcast!), but they also have questions about how much to pay their employees or contractors. Today, I’m sharing more details about the compensation rubric that we developed and implemented in our practice last year. I’ve also included a public copy of the rubric in the show notes if you’d like to create your own!

Back in the fall, I had the privilege to take a 6-week continuing education class on assessment and treatment of intellectual disability and associated comorbidities.

After having taken all of the major insurance panels for nearly 15 years, we’ve decided that enough is enough. The administrative burden and poor reimbursement are no longer sustainable. Listen in through the good, the bad, and the terrifying as we go through this process! Today is the first episode in the series. I’m discussing how we moved from pre-contemplation to contemplation, and finally to preparation. I’ll dive deep into the finances of insurance vs. private pay and share what factors led us to decide to finally drop a couple of panels.

I obviously advocate for folks to launch their own practices and speak frequently on the podcast about how to do that. That said, I’m a group practice owner and spend a lot of my time talking with employees about why group practice is a better choice than going out on your own. What an identity crisis! But only if you look at it in a black-and-white manner. The truth is that private practice fits better for some folks (when it’s not all financial), and group practice employment works better for others. I’m breaking down both sides today.

You’re likely aware of the concept of stereotype threat and may have even listened to my previous episode with Dr. Josh Aronson, where we discussed the development of the theory. But how can we apply this theory to our assessment work? Dr. Geremy Grant is back to talk with me about stereotype threat and ways to combat it when we’re actually in front of a client. We explore several different ways to both recognize and address stereotype threat, with the hope of creating an environment where our clients can feel safe and brave enough to do their very best.
