Why Chiropractors Buy Our Tables

Nearly all Chiropractors purchase our hydromassage tables for the following reasons:

1. They want to grow their practice.
2. They want to differentiate their practice.
3. They want to improve patient satisfaction and retention.
4. They want to operate more efficiently.

People choose a Chiropractor for these reasons and in this order:

1. Referral
2. Proximity
3. Price
4. Quality
5. Service

Referrals are the number one thing that will grow your practice. Hydromassage can increase the total number of referrals you get each month. Hydromassage therapy is flat out more interesting and enjoyable than most other therapies and is applicable to treating a wider range of your patients.

Do the Unexpected: The first requirement of effective engagement is getting someone’s attention, the second is keeping it. Our hydromassage tables are like nothing your patients have tried before which will capture their attention and the experience will keep it. People just love how it feels.

Connect Emotionally: Tapping into your patient’s emotions is critical. If you can hit the patient emotionally, you will be much closer to obtaining a new patient or retaining an existing one. Emotions are powerful and the most effective emotion is happiness. Your battle is won when you succeed at finding a way to make people smile and feel good. Hydromassage will help you do just that.

Improve Patient Retention — The relief your patients get from hydromassage creates a desire to return for care. Your practice does best when your patients follow through with your treatment plans. Hydromassage can help keep them coming back.

Get More Word-Of-Mouth Referrals — No other piece of equipment gets the rave reviews from patients like a Sidmar hydromassage table. People just love the way they feel during and after the therapy. When you like something and it makes you feel better, you inevitably go back to it and tell your family and friends about it.

What is Hydromassage Therapy

Sidmar hydromassage tables are listed with the FDA as Class 1 Medical Devices and are used by thousands of doctors every day. The physiological effects of heat and massage help treat many types of soft tissue injuries and other conditions such as orthopedic, rheumatic, and neurologic disorders.

Hydromassage feels like a hot tub on your back, neck and shoulders but you never get wet. You remain completely clothed as you lay on a water filled mattress and relax as a series of hydro-jets massage away aches and pains.

Heat and massage combine to produce the therapeutic effects.

Imagine the incredible feeling of your body being massaged by pulsating jets of warm water. The heat relaxes you and the pressure of the water jets against your body soothes your aches and pains. All you need to do is set the timer, lie back and relax. In as little as ten minutes, you will be able to feel the changes in your body.

Hydromassage is an effective alternative to hands-on massage.

• It is done through the clothing to save the time and potential embarrassment of having to get undressed.
• There are no oils used so the patient doesn’t feel uncomfortable afterwards.
• Because it takes only 15 minutes, even the busiest person can find the time to use it.
• You relax more deeply as hydromassage is done alone.
• It’s inexpensive – anybody can afford it.
• It targets key tension areas where people need massage – the neck, back and shoulders.

There are physical and emotional benefits to hydromassage therapy. Our skin is full of nerve receptors that are linked to our nervous system. When the skin is massaged it causes stimulation and release of chemicals in the brain like serotonin that help reduce stress, anxiety and depression.

In just 15 minutes on our hydromassage table…

• Your aches and pains should diminish
• You should be able to move easier and with less pain
• Your blood circulation increases which should help your body function better
• Your stress should fade away
• You should feel more relaxed

When you combine the positive health benefits with the overwhelmingly positive feedback you’ll receive from your patients, you’ll understand why hydromassage is one of the most sought after therapies available today.

When to Use Hydromassage Therapy

1. Easier Treatment of Hard to Adjust Patients — Pre-adjustment hydromassage treatment reduces nervous tension and muscle guarding. So you attain easier, less painful, more complete spinal adjustments. Patients are much easier to work with when they are relaxed.

2. Use Post-Adjustment to Help Relax the Muscles — Post-adjustment hydromassage treatment relaxes your patient’s muscles, allowing the adjustment to stabilize and reduces the tendency of muscle spasms to pull the spine out of alignment.

3. Provide Needed Massage Services Without a Massage Therapist — Sidmar hydromassage tables work 24/7. They don’t take time off, call in sick or arrive late. They cost only pennies per session to operate and are consistent, providing the same therapy every time they are used.

4. Enhance Exercise and Strengthening Programs — The body functions better when muscles are relaxed and blood and lymph fluids flow well. Your patients already stretch after rehab and exercise, they need to finish with a hydromassage treatment to soothe their muscles and calm their nervous system.

5. Use Pre and Post Decompression Therapy —Hydromassage before decompression therapy relaxes the muscles helping to diminish the negative effects of muscle guarding so the decompression forces can be as effective as possible. Hydromassage after decompression helps reduce the pain associated with decompression and relaxes the patient.

No other therapeutic option gives you heat and massage therapy without taking up a lot of staff time. Your patients are more satisfied and have less pain when hydromassage is part of the treatment plan.

Making Money with Hydromassage Therapy

A Sidmar hydromassage table is a wise investment. The up-front costs are less than any other manufacturer and the return on that investment is greater as the product life can be 15 years or more with very little maintenance costs. (Our tables last much longer than 15 years but we chose this to be conservative.)

Hydromassage tables generate revenue in basically two ways: directly and indirectly. You get direct payments from insurance companies and cash payments from patients. You indirectly make money through increased patient visits, more referrals, and reduced costs. Let’s look at it more closely.

New Profit Center (Direct Revenue)

Since you most likely don’t already own a hydromassage table, their addition will bring a new profit center to your practice. The therapy provided by the table generates insurance and cash payments. If you charge $15 for the therapy and only 5 people per day receive treatment, that equates to $19,500 in revenue in one year.

 

Calculation: charge for hydromassage x patients per day x number of days you are open per year.
Example: $15 charge for hydromassage x 5 patients per day x 260 days/year = $19,500

 

Increases Patient Visit Average (Indirect Revenue)

Hydromassage becomes a vital part of the value delivered by your office on each visit. Patients that find a high value in your treatments return more regularly. It is always easier to make more profit from an existing patient than it is to find a new one. If you can realize just 6 extra visits per year with only 20% of your patients, the revenue generated is phenomenal.

If you have 200 patients, 20% is 40 patients. If you get 6 more visits from 40 patients, that is an additional 240 visits per year. If you charge $30 for an adjustment and $15 for hydromassage, that adds up to $10,800 in additional revenue. Even if you gave away the hydromassage treatments, you would still get $30 for each adjustment which equates to an impressive $7,200 per year.

 

Calculation: ($ for adjustment + $ for hydromassage) x total patients x 20% x 6 visits
Example: ($30 for adjustment + $15 for hydromassage) x 200 patients x 20% x 6 visits = $10,800

 

Attracts New Patients and Increase Referrals (Indirect Revenue)

Our product will help bring in new patients through referrals from satisfied customers. It’s a fact that after someone tries our product, they talk about it. Because of the uniqueness and how wonderful it makes them feel, they can’t help but express that to someone.

What is the average new patient worth to you? Let say it’s only $500 (the lifetime value of a new patient will normally be much higher). If our table helps bring you only one new patient per month, that equates to $6,000 annually.

 

Calculation: number of new patients per month x 12 months x value of a new patient
Example: 1 new patient per month x 12 months x $500 = $6,000

 

Reduced Costs (Operate More Efficiently)

Massage duties are labor intensive, which consumes valuable time from your day. If you or your staff are doing manual soft tissue work, you will save time by using our hydromassage table. No need to do hands-on work or use a vibrating massage device. The tables do the work for you. This time savings can be used to handle the extra visits you are going to see from the increased patient visit average.

Summary of Potential Revenue

If you add up the direct and indirect revenues in our conservative examples you get $36,300 in annual revenue. With an initial cost of only $3,299, you can see why so many others have found our tables to be a wise investment.

Over a 15 year life, the direct and indirect revenue calculates out to $544,500 ($36,300 x 15 years). These are simple mathematical calculations to help you understand the potential to make money with hydromassage tables. No one can guarantee how much money you will actually make but with a little consistent effort, you will produce a good return on your investment.

Whether you charge cash, bill insurance or include it in the price of an office visit, revenues increase when hydromassage is part of your practice.

Billing Insurance

Coding for the services provided by any hydrotherapy table isn’t as exact as we would like. The problem is the AMA CPT code book does not have a specific code for hydrotherapy tables. Given that the tables use jets of water to massage the soft tissues and increase circulation, it’s no wonder that the whirlpool code (97022) seems appropriate. The hot pack code (97010) also makes sense as the patient is lying on a mattress filled with hot water. Additionally, the massage code (97124) looks good but that code requires the doctor or therapists to do a hands-on massage. Here’s what the leading associations have to say…

The American Medical Association has stated the following:

Since there is no code(s) in CPT that specifies the services provided by hydrotherapy tables and since the procedures performed by the device are identified as physical therapy modalities, the most appropriate code to use for these services would be code 97039 (a report should be included with the use of this code to identify the specifics involved in performing the service).

The American Chiropractic Association has stated the following:

“Coding Clarification: Hydrobed Modality: ACA’s coding experts have been advised that 97039, unlisted modality, would best describe the procedure. This code describes services for which there is no specific AMA CPT code assigned. Documentation should be provided to describe the work involved.”

After reviewing all of this, it seems the unlisted modality code of 97039 is the most accurate.

Ask The Insurance Companies What Code to Use

You can ask the insurance companies what code to use prior to billing. After reviewing the codes in your CPT coding manual, just call each company and ask them what code they want you to use. You can use the following Explanation of Hydromassage to help you explain the tables and the therapy.

Explanation of Hydromassage for Insurers

Hydromassage is a combination therapy that mixes moist heat and massage into a single modality. The therapies enhance each other when applied together. We use this therapy on patients during the sub-acute phase or for chronic conditions with no inflammation. The patient lies onto a water-filled mattress with hydrotherapy jets inside that deliver powerful streams of water that impact the body, producing a kneading massage. The beneficial heat effects are sedative, antispasmodic and analgesic. The penetrating hydromassage helps reduce muscle spasms, increases lymphatic and vascular circulation, increases soft tissue mobility and releases endorphins. The intensity used is to the patient’s tolerance for 8 to 15 minutes generally.

The bottom line is some insurance companies pay and some don’t. There are simply too many plans for us to know which do and which don’t and everything changes all the time. Each state is different but auto and personal injury seem to pay better. A little investigation on your part is required. Contact your state association, billing companies, the insurance companies, other doctors, etc. to get the advice for your state and payers.
