How To Choose The Correct Chiropractic Billing Software One important step in finding the perfect chiropractic billing software program to fit your needs is to take a look at your existing computer equipment. With system needs changing on a virtually daily basis, it is necessary that the software program you choose be compatible with your hardware. You also have the option of upgrading your system if it is not currently compatible with the software option you choose. Giving a rough estimate, there are approximately 30 different vendors that deal in chiropractic billing software. Prices can range from a couple hundred dollars to several thousand dollars. While cost is certainly a consideration, assuring that you get the best quality software to meet your needs should be the primary consideration. Many new chiropractors, fresh out-of-school may decide to go with a discount software solution in order to save costs. Experts in the field suggest that skimping on costs in the beginning

can cause a huge headache in the future. It is often a lot of trouble and work to change over systems; not to mention that your files will temporarily be on hold while the change occurs. A good word of advice is to thoroughly examine your needs and then choose the appropriate chiropractic billing software program for your practice – base your decision on need, not cost.Chiropractic billing software can be a godsend for many practices. Not only will you save valuable space from limiting your need for paper files, your office staff will also be able to retrieve important medical information in a virtual instant. Most offices claim that the best aspect of the electronic billing software is the ability to instantly file insurance claims. This is an excellent way to reduce the cost of office staff and postage. Many of these billing software programs also have a built-in clearinghouse feature to enable the business manager to track and locate any outstanding claims. Those using some of the more advanced chiropractic billing software programs are able to perform a wide variety of tasks that, in the past, could have taken hours or even days. Some programs allow the administrator to submit claims on a patient to multiple insurance companies. Other programs make billing less complicated when dealing with HCFA, Worker's Compensation and Medicare: these programs have the necessary forms built into the program and are easily accessed. It is obvious that there is a plethora of variances in software; the key is to know what you need in a program and search for one that closely resembles your needs..

NH House Finds NH Constitution 'Inexpedient' <p>Rep. Dan Itse of Freemont explains thoroughly in this <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYjDc8vNb-E">video</a> so I'll just get out of his way:</p>
<p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/MYjDc8vNb-E&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/MYjDc8vNb-E&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>
<p>The video is from last spring, when the House was in session, but I just happened upon it now.</p> SED Can Proceed <p>A Federal Circuit Court of Appeals has found that the Canon license for Nano SED patents <a href="http://www.mwe.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/publications.nldetail/object_id/5aad0b24-8b27-4569-9192-08cb42163a13.cfm#12">still exists</a>. Canon had tried to form a partnership with Toshiba (SED, Inc.) which the court found violated the terms of the license, but then Nano claimed that this violation dissolved the license, which the Court found to be incorrect.</p>
<p>Canon has reportedly doubled its workforce in SED on this ruling, so these things may finally get into production. SED TV sets were expected to be on the market three years ago, but patent litigation has held it up, much to the LCD manufacturers' delight.</p>
<p>For those who are not AV geeks: SED TV's bring CRT-level picture quality to the flat-screen form factor at lower power and (theoretically) lower cost than LCD or plasma. However, since the benefits over LCD and plasma are quite dramatic SED is expected to be priced more highly than LCD or plasma for a while. Once all the videophiles throw huge piles of cash at the nicer sets, the next step will be to be priced marginally higher than LCD or plasma, since the average consumer will clearly see the benefit, then they can proceed to meet, then undercut the LCD and plasma market. That'll be the time to buy. Once LCD and plasma get beaten out of the market, the price will climb back up, and then LCD and plasma can come back in. So, long-term these will probably remain slightly more expensive than LCD and plasma, until the patents expire anyway (or OLED becomes competitive), then everybody will be making them and prices should fall through the floor. Mark <a href="http://www.google.com/patents?id=Qb8RAAAAEBAJ&dq=6,750,461">June 14, 2024</a> on your calendar. It should be a good Independence Day sale!</p> K-Mart vs. Wal*Mart <p>I stopped by Newbury Comics today to buy Will a birthday present (he's two today). I got him a Monster Book of Monsters stuffed toy he absolute went bananas for last time we were in there.</p>
<p>On my TODO index card in my pocket I also had 'wrapping paper' and 'padded envelopes'. Newbury Comics is in the same shopping plaza as K-Mart and since I was shopping on work time I decided to just go there rather than drive down to Wal*Mart and save a couple bucks on products.</p>
<p>I got what I needed, but during checkout I was asked, in order:</p>
<ul>
<li>for my e-mail address so I could 'get coupons'. Three times, each worded differently.</li>
<li>for my ZIP code</li>
<li>if I wanted to apply for a Sears credit card</li>
<li>for $7.73 for the goods</li>
<li>if I would please go online and fill out a survey</li>
<li>to 'please come back and visit us again'</li>
</ul>
<p>They're out of their minds. Next time I'm going to drive to Wal*Mart, and it's not for the $2, it's for the check out process:</p>
<ul>
<li>give us this much money (incidentally, less than K-Mart)</li>
<li>"thank you, have a nice day"</li>
</ul> CE/BCE is Stupid <p>There's a move afoot to replace the terms 'B.C.' and 'A.D' to denote years with the terms C.E. and B.C.E meaning '<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Era">Common Era</a>' and 'Before Common Era'. Anybody who's been to school knows B.C. means 'before Christ' and A.D. means 'Anno Domini', Latin for 'In the Year of Our Lord'. That 'B.C.' is based in English and 'A.D.' in Latin seems incongruous at best, but they've been used for the duration of the Gregorian Calendar and frankly serve their purpose just fine.</p>
<p>C.E. and B.C.E. are simply euphemisms to cover up the fact that the calendar used in most of the world is based on Christianity, specifically the birth of Jesus Christ (or Yoshua of Nazereth for the historically-minded). The Gregorian Calendar was imposed by, who'd'a thunk ... Pope Gregory, and who would you think he'd base his calendar around? (Obviously the name of the calendar system will be next on the block).</p>
<p>There are many good arguments against the Gregorian Calendar, but that's what we've got. The competing calendar standards (e.g. Mayan, Chinese) have fallen to the Gregorian, and there's likely no turning back that tide. So, there's no utility in trying to cover up its origins, and the cost of implementing such changes is without return. At a minimum anybody expected to ever read any historical text would have to be trained in both systems, so at best it's a net increase in cost. If somebody wants to tackle the implementation of a better calendar, perhaps a sidereal one, go for it. You can even call its days a 'stardate' if you must. But until that time, nobody can claim offense at B.C. and A.D. until we take care of the 'Tyr, Odin, Thor, Freyja, Saturn' problem, OK?</p> US Congressmen for NH E-mail Addresses <p>Paul Hodes, John Sununu and Judd Gregg sure make it tough to find their e-mail addresses and try to drive constituents to use web forms, which makes it hard to e-mail multiple representatives at once. I suspect this barrier to participation is intentional. </p>
<p>That said, I found <a href="http://www.nhorthos.com/Congressional%20Members.htm">this page</a> which appears to be the only one on the Internet that actually lists an address for all three.</p> Conversation with a Palin Hater <p>So the other night I was at a dinner and sat next to a nice fellow who asked me, "what do you think of this Sarah Palin?"</p>
<p>"She's interesting," I began, "what do you think of her?"</p>
<p>"Oh, she's terrible!" came the reply. So, I asked, intending to learn something and continue the conversation, "which of her positions positions do you dislike?"</p>
<p>"All of them!" was the what-don't-you-get reply. "Oh," I said with some fascination, "which one do you think is the worst?" At this point I was suspecting this could be fun.</p>
<p>"Just all of them," was the only answer I received, and the conversation turned. </p>
<p>So, the rhetorical question of the day is how many of Sarah Palin's positions do you think this hater actually knew anything about? It amazes me how people can take strong political positions without knowing anything about the subject. I get this over and over on nuclear energy especially. I think I err on the other side too much, only weighing in on a topic after I've researched it extensively. Well, at least feeling embarrassed in retrospect when I do otherwise.</p> Collateral Damage in Gawker vs. Palin <p>In reference to the Gawker post of Gov. Palin's e-mail excerpts, photos, etc:</p>
<p>First, the Gawker people are complete crap for posting the e-mail addresses of Gov. Palin's friends and family. If nothing else, this is unmistakably over the top - several dozen people will now effectively have to start all new e-mail accounts and endure the difficulties associated with that. Inexcusable.</p>
<p>As to conducting government business, yeah, there's a point to be made here. However, I'll bet that the most likely reason is that the sender typed 'sarah palin' in their mailer, and having two addresses for her picked the wrong one. Many mailers hide the actual address after choosing, so this is an easy mistake to make.</p>
<p><img src="http://mcgonigle.us/bill/blog/files/sarah_palin_email.png"></p>
<p>The governor could have at that point chosen to scold the sender, but instead she just replied. The former would have been the pedantically correct thing to do - whether the latter was inexcusable or pragmatic is a matter of perspective.</p>
<p>The important thing to do here to implicate Gov. Palin would be to establish a pattern of certain types of mails, certain correspondents, certain policies, specific projects that she only used her Yahoo! account for. This doesn't seem to exist - the contents appear to be random and mundane. Even the guy who broke into her account and read all of her mails looking for something 'juicy' concurs. So, the conspiracy hypothesis fails, leaving random technology farts as the likely cause.</p>
<p>There's still a technical case to be made here, but good luck getting anybody who has a work and home account themselves to actually care.</p> Blocking the Path to 9/11 <p>Due to the order of a judge in Florida against Echostar I don't get any major network programming at home, save a PBS national feed. So, when "The Path to 9/11" came out, I wanted to see it, but figured I'd wait until the DVD came out (it wasn't urgent).</p>
<p>I haven't paid any attention to the film since then, but today I heard the director of the show on Dennis Miller's radio show talking about how there would be no DVD release, and how the Clinton machine and Disney collaborated to edit the film for airing and then finally kill all future availability. Apparently they didn't like the way Bill Clinton was portrayed. The director says the miniseries was the #1 mini-series of the year and attracted 28 million viewers. There's simply no argument that there's not a DVD market for the product. He plans <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEUaa-k-5C0">a documentary</a> about the attempts to bury the film.</p>
<p>So, while I'm in favor of rewarding artists for their work as part of our social contract under copyright terms, their end of the contract implies availability for the term of protection. Since they've violated the agreement, for political expediency no less, I have no trouble reminding folks that the <a href="http://thepiratebay.org">bittorrent tracker sites</a> are searchable and the people are likely to be routing around this kind of censorship.</p> Old Man - Palin <p>With so many folks swooning for Sarah Palin and deciding to hold their nose and vote for McCain just to get her into office, I figured we needed some merchandise to reflect the sentiment. And so <a href="http://oldmanpalin.com">Old Man-Palin</a> was born.</p> Cost of Political TV Ads <p>Somehow I got on Jennifer Horn's spam list. I opened one accidentally today and it contained this nugget:</p>
<blockquote>every $750 donated will buy us one more spot on WMUR; every $150 donated will buy us one more spot on Fox News.</blockquote>
<p>Wow, $750 for, I'm guessing, 30 seconds of airtime. If somebody wants to get rid of 'money in politics' they need to stop paying these kind of advertising rates. Hint: Internet. If there needs to be a transition period, buy 10 second TV ads that say, "I'm getting rid of money in politics, visit billmcgonigle.com" or the like.</p>
