In this eye-opening episode of the Chiro Hustle Podcast, we sit down once again with Michael Coates, a nationally recognized authority on medical lien law, personal injury (PI), and lien recovery strategy. James Chester and Michael dive deep into the critical, often misunderstood realm of personal injury work for chiropractors.
They cover why understanding lien law can be the key to financial freedom, the hidden pitfalls in typical PI contracts, and how to ethically dominate the PI space while staying protected and profitable. If you’re a chiropractor looking to maximize reimbursements, protect your practice, and serve more patients, this conversation is your wake-up call.
HIGHLIGHTS
● Michael explains why most lien agreements chiropractors are using are fundamentally flawed – and how that leaves you financially exposed.
● Discover the three most effective sources for getting more PI cases – and why attorneys are actually last on the list.
● Learn why California's auto insurance changes are doubling potential PI case value, and what that trend means for other states.
● Understand how the "art of storytelling documentation" can radically improve your PI case settlements.
● Get the game plan for converting injury patients into long-term wellness care clients.
● Michael predicts the next two years will bring more chiropractic progress than the last twenty, thanks to federal shifts and industry collaboration.
