Getting it under control

By the end for 2001 the doctor asked me to take over management of his operation. I let him own that I would do it but not as an employee, but as a company offering a fee for service.  At this point I was making major operational changes in every aspect of the office except for medical issues. The office wasn't fully computerized & the office was running all of its appointments on an appointments book.

Account was brought into the modern age by a huge amount of hours and late nights to get a handle on the businesses financials. The doctor's wife actually thanked me because the doctor was now getting some sleep since he didn't have to spend every night trying to figure out his bills. (no kidding)

I also had taken over payroll.  That was how I found out he wasn't paying his Workman's comp insurance and that he had outstanding state taxes on the business too.  Getting him reinstated with State Fund was not fun.



Needless to say, I spent 2002 getting these areas straighten out, however, 2003 is when the real trap begins.  See you tomorrow.
