Have you ever wondered what it would be like to go back to the heyday of the muscle car? To see new Charger's, Chevelle's and Mustangs right off the dealer lot rolling around as everyday cars? For many of us, being a kid in the late 1960's and early 1970's would have been a dream, but for Wade Kawasaki, the President and CEO of Legendary Companies (formerly of the Coker Group), it was a reality. Thrust into the world of wheels at a young age, Wade's automotive journey began in the most innocent of ways, pumping gas and servicing vehicles at his family's Southern California service station. From there Wade went onto work for an automotive parts company and when he noticed that a fair number of customers were coming in from outside of the United States he decided to go out on his own and, with the help of his wife, opened their very own automotive parts export business. That led him to SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) and a chance meeting with one of their Vice Presidents and from there, let's just say his career flourished. This is a great episode with one of the leading individuals in the automotive space today, so go grab a beverage, a workbench or something to tinker with and join us for a great conversation with Mr. Wade Kawasaki.

  Wade Kawasaki is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Legendary Brands (formerly Coker Group.) In his executive role, Kawasaki oversees the fourteen brands and six operating companies, which include Coker Tire, Wheel Vintiques, Roadster Wire Wheels and The Great Race. In addition to his role at the Coker Group, Wade Kawasaki is the SEMA Immediate Past Chairman of the Board, where he still has a role on the Board of Directors in making important decisions to benefit the 52-billion-dollar automotive aftermarket. Wade joins us on this special edition of the show to discuss his early years pumping gas in Los Angeles during his time with the family business, his tenure with  SEMA   & the importance of keeping the aftermarket viable while technology blazes away, along with his incredible experience meeting car enthusiasts while traveling all over the country with his platform Car Guy Adventures !

Episode 48 - A lot of physicians I’ve talked to have had some bad experiences with private equity. Maybe they got a big payout but they lost so much autonomy and had their workload increased so much that they ended up retiring or leaving the practice because they just couldn’t stand the working conditions. But, I’ve talked with other docs that said the private equity deal they did was fantastic. They got a big payout, they’ve grown their business faster than they thought possible, and the equity company is a great partner that just wants them to be able to practice great medicine on the doctors’ terms. I'm grateful to have Mark Rieboldt of The Coker Group on the podcast today to talk about private equity deals.Not every private equity deal is bad. If you do your due diligence, a private equity deal could end up being a great opportunity for your business. I would encourage you to not reject every PE deal out of hand, but take each opportunity on a case by case basis. Listen to the podcast episode today to learn all about private equity and decide if it's a good move for your business.Resources from this episodeFree Resource: The Scope of Practice Reading ListJoin the Business and Personal Finance for Physicians and Dentists Facebook Group!Check out the Doctor Podcast Network!One-on-one personal finance and business coaching: Click here and email me to set up a free consultation today!

Successful physician leaders prepare their teams, put communications in place, and shore up their systems to manage the situation at hand. In this SoundPractice episode, we talk with Max Reibolt, CPA, president and CEO of The Coker Group, about the characteristics, communication skills, and organizational support leaders need during a crisis. Max shares examples from his many decades of healthcare leadership and consulting. www.cokergroup.com

Jeannie Cagle joins Mark Reiboldt to share the good news about evaluation and management (E/M) coding changes for 2021!

In summary, the new guidelines affect only new and established office/outpatient E/M codes (99201-99215); however, they will significantly alter documentation of the patient visit. These changes will remove the history and exam as key components, and base code-level selection on either Medical Decision Making (MDM) or time. Also, the proposed increase in RVU value will create a financial boost. Coding education and audits are more important than ever. Medical decision making is moving to the core of medical coding with less emphasis on technicalities to support the level of coding. An educated physician is our number one priority! Coker Group is offering either a turn-key solution or a customized approach based on each client’s individual needs. Our extensive coding team, including certified professional coders and RNs, will complete these services with our in-house coding and compliance senior vice president, Roz Cordini, JD, MSN, RN, CHC, CHPC, overseeing Coker’s coding team. The components of these services include: Assessment of education and training needs for both providers and in-house coders Discussion with EMR template managers to determine internal policies for new requirements and necessary template revisions Development of a go-forward audit plan for provider documentation and coding audits 2021 follow-up education and audits   Contact us today and use promo code EM2021 to receive a free checklist to assess the training needs for your healthcare providers and staff.

This On The Move gets right to rolling, with hosts Matt Avery and John Kraman discussing the nuts and bolts of selecting the right wheels and tires for classic and collector cars throughout the show. But, before they can, they take a look ahead at the upcoming Kissimmee Summer Special, slated for August 27-29. Both share the lots that caught their eye, with Matt drawn to a 1969 Dodge Daytona in B5 Blue Fire Metallic, while John can’t help but coo for a 1962 Chevrolet Corvette Resto Mod Convertible. The Corvette conversation continues with a look back at the first C8 to cross the block at a Mecum auction, which happened at the recent Spring Classic event in Indianapolis. The car, finished in Blade Silver, sold for $106,700. Next, with the launch of the latest Mecum Magazine, the guys share what they wrote in the latest edition. Matt penned a feature story on a 1974 Bronco heading to the upcoming Mecum Dallas auction, and, in his column, Free Revs, he spotlighted the 25 Aston Martin DB5 recreation models the brand is building. Each rings up at a cool $3.4 million but sports some James Bond movie touches. John then shares how in his At the Redline, he addresses how important the allure of cars is and the transition to friendships with folks that share the same wheeled interest and passions. The show’s featured guest is Wade Kawasaki, president and CEO of Legendary Companies (formerly known as Coker Group). Matt shares a special conversation he had with Wade at the Spring Classic where he heard about what’s new with Coker Tires and Wheels Vintiques, as well as the importance of selecting the right wheels and tires when bringing a vehicle to auction. Wade also shares some of the highlights in his diverse car collection including a 1961 Volkswagen 21-Window Bus he bought at the 2020 Mecum Glendale auction and a 2016 Jaguar F-TYPE Project 7, purchased at a previous Mecum Denver auction. Next, Matt and John get around to talking about the history of tires, including the pivotal shift from bias-ply construction to radial designs. They also go into detail about their observations and the trends they’ve seen on the auction block including how a proper set of wheels and tires on a collector vehicle usually translates to higher values. Rounding out the conversation, the guys get a call from J.D. Perry, a professional detailer for Gold Eagle and 303 products. J.D. draws on his vast experience to highlight the ins and outs of keeping wheels and tires clean and looking their best.

You can also provide recommendations on matters for future episodes.  Email us: feedback@cokergroup.com Connect with us on LinkedIn: Coker Group Company Page Follow us on Twitter: @cokergroup Follow us on Instagram: @cokergroup Episode Synopsis Typically, hospitalists are not measured or compensated based on their wRVUs for a couple of reasons. First, most hospitals see the essential goal of a hospitalist program as enhancing throughput (timely discharges, reduced length-of-stay, etc.). Paying hospitalists based on their productivity can be counter to these key goals, as it incentivizes them to do more. Second, the market data for hospitalist wRVU production is imprecise, given that hospitalists vary significantly in their productivity levels as a result of staffing/census dynamics. We believe the best measure of productivity for hospitalists is the patient census, not wRVUs. Key Trends from Industry Data The majority of hospitalist groups work 12-hour shifts (day and night). Working additional hours per day equates to the need for fewer shifts per year to equal a 1.0 FTE. The market norm for hospitalists working a 7-on/7-off model and a 12-hour shift is 2,184 hours annually (182 shifts per year). Extras Physician Compensation Strategy Bio: Justin Chamblee

Not only does this have bipartisan support and has been a key initiative for CMS in recent years, it is also a strong indicator of the push toward more consumer-driven healthcare.

Coker in 1987, Coker Group began as a physician relations firm whose purpose was to develop and enhance the relationships between hospitals and their medical staffs. The newly founded company moved into its first offices in 1988 with a small team from Atlanta and California. With extraordinary success and a growing list of hospital clients, Coker strengthened its footing through a focus on building hospital and physician relations through educating physicians and their staffs to improve their operational processes and enhance their business models. Delivering educational programs and assistance with medical practice management became the business model for this young company. Coker began to memorialize its expertise in the mid-‘90s through the publication of materials to enhance practice operations and financial management. Through the years, Coker has worked with national associations and other healthcare societies and entities to complement the work of its consultants with hospitals and physicians. Under the strong leadership of Max Reiboldt, upon Jack Coker’s retirement in the mid-1990s, Coker Group continued to respond to the needs of hospitals and physicians as healthcare transitioned from one reimbursement paradigm to another through the late 1990s and beyond. During this period, the firm shifted its emphasis from the original physician relations’ services to become a full-fledged healthcare advisory firm. Through its history, the firm has met the complexity and expansion in healthcare that has occurred into the 21st Century. Coker Group holds a notable position as leading business advisors to the healthcare industry, assisting with complex negotiations between hospitals and physicians. Through five main services areas--strategy, operations, finance, technology, and compliance--the firm’s mission is still to provide healthcare organizations with innovative, principled solutions to achieve their optimum level of productivity. Join us on January 24, 2019, at 2:00 pm, for the live panel discussion, One Month into MACRA! As part of the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA), the Medicare Quality Payment Program (QPP) was established and consists of two participation pathways for clinicians: Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) and Advanced Alternative Payment Models (Advanced APMs). CMS has gradually implemented the full scope of MACRA over the past three years, and January 1, 2019, marks the beginning of MIPS adjustments to Medicare Part B fee-for-service revenue. The panel discussion will focus on identifying potential pain points for healthcare organizations as a result of MACRA and review key changes for CY2019 as outlined in the final rule. Learning Objectives Identify the potential pain points of full MACRA implementation and outline the first steps organizations should take to alleviate issues. Review the final rule for the quality payment program and how these changes impact APMs and MIPS. Discuss the impact E/M changes will have on reimbursement and physician compensation.

Justin Chamblee, Jack Liu, and Matt BonDurant join Mark to discuss the evolution of physician compensation and the benefits of a software solution. Mark, Justin, Jack, and Matt talk about the changes in the healthcare market and how these changes have affected compensation. Episode Synopsis Jack and Matt are managing partners with ProCARE Portal, a software-as-a-service platform built around a rules-based engine to automate the administration of physician compensation plans. Coker Group has teamed up with ProCARE Portal as an advisory partner for consulting and strategic services. Jack and Matt join Justin and Mark to discuss how the shift toward fee-for-value reimbursement has changed the way physicians are compensated and how compensation plans are managed and administered. Fee-for-service provided a simple calculation to determine compensation (wRVUs multiplied by a rate), and fee-for-value has added a myriad of other potential metrics to the calculations, making it difficult to manage and administer compensation plans. They introduce the concept of compensation automation as a solution for increasingly complex compensation plans.

Max Reiboldt and Michael Barry join Mark to discuss the Top 10 Lessons Learned from First-to-Second Generation Transactions. Max oversees Coker Group’s services and the general operations of the firm, and provides sound financial, strategic and tactical solutions to hospitals, medical practices, health systems, and other healthcare entities through keen analysis and problem solving. Michael is a partner in the Corporate Practice and the Healthcare Practice at Arnall Golden Gregory, LLP and focuses his practice on health care transactional and regulatory law – specifically for hospital, health systems and other institutional providers. Episode Synopsis Mark, Max and Michael discuss transitioning from a first-to-second generation transaction and industry trends affecting hospital-physician transactions. Throughout their discussion, they touch-on the top 10 lessons they have learned from these types of alignment initiatives. Top 10 Lessons Learned from First-to-Second Generation Transactions Physician market share does not mean success, so health systems have become more selective relative to transactions. (PSAs are much more popular now than 3 years ago.) Incurring losses in physician transactions may not be offset by downstream revenue (increased site-neutral payments). Ensure organization’s productivity and revenue goals are being met. (Fee-For-Service still prevails.) Consider infrastructure required to support non-productivity incentives. (Fee-For-Value payments must exist to require such.) Gradually begin tapering off productivity goals and replace with alternative incentives. (Mirror reimbursement trends.) Tie new incentives to organizational goals, such as cost-savings, quality, etc. and prepare to respond to MACRA/MIPS requirements. Begin tying incentives to reimbursement changes, such as shared savings and/or the quality/CPIA/ACI metrics being measured for MIPS. Leverage newly prioritized metrics to reap additional reimbursement incentives (i.e., commercial or MIPS increases). Continually reassess compensation structures in light of regulatory and industry trends. Payment reform is here and real (MACRA); healthcare providers are unable to ignore the value-based reimbursement world.   Extras Second Generation Compensation Plans - Is this Alignment Armageddon?
