Approximately 80 patients per month with complaints of dizziness, vertigo or a history of falls are seen in physician offices.  These patients are not typically surgical candidates and their medical management can be challenging. What if you could take advantage of this flow of patients and efficiently manage them, improve their outcomes and generate revenue within your current practice?  Just as with an allergy department or hearing aid dispensary, dizzy patients can also be managed within your current practice in an efficacious, profitable manner with minimal equipment and space.

Dizzy patients are difficult and frustrating for many physicians to manage. Physicians and health systems are being evaluated via Medicare Quality Scores for Fall Risk Assessment and Plan of Care. The testing and evaluation you will be trained to perform will satisfy this requirement, which is an extremely helpful service to both primary care physicians, ENT’s and Neurologists. 

Help More Patients With Hearing Loss

Did you know … 30% of patients who undergo diagnostic balance testing also have an undiagnosed and untreated sensorineural hearing loss? Research from Johns Hopkins, found individuals with untreated hearing loss have an increased incidence of falls. These patients are excellent candidates for treatment with hearing aids.

Covered by Medicare and Most Private Insurances

What about Rehabilitation?

Therapists worldwide use AIB’s vestibular rehabilitation, balance,  concussion protocols, and canalith repositioning maneuvers. The Institute’s proven and evidence-based approach to successful physical therapy outcomes can be included within your practice and for your therapy providers. 

Let the AIB team create an innovative rehabilitation business model within your practice to increase both profit and patient outcomes.  Opportunities and options include (but are not limited to) the following:

Cross-referral Network

The AIB has a global network of over 2,000 trained and certified rehabilitation professionals available to help your practice create cross-referral relationships within the rehabilitation community.  This option is most favorable for facilities who do not have the space, resources, volume, or staff available to operate a rehabilitation facility.  The advantages of creating relationships with local rehabilitation partners may include opportunities for cross-referrals, increased community exposure through collaborative marketing efforts, and increased hearing aid sales!

In-house Rehab

The AIB senior staff have a combined 30 years of experience working in the management and business development of rehabilitation practices.  Our team will do a thorough analysis of your current practice and make recommendations for in-house rehabilitation options that do not involve expensive technology or equipment, all while yielding successful patient outcomes.
