You might even have had times where you couldn’t afford to pay the bills and had …
In Part 1, we discussed how NOT to set your fees. As we mentioned, most chiropractors admittedly have no strategic process or logical reasoning in how they arrive at their fee schedules. And we perhaps painfully commented on the not-so-wonderful ways that chiropractors typically set their fees. Now, let’s turn that around and discuss three strategic tools to improve …
