IU222 - The Business of Balance: How to Add Vestibular Neurodiagnostics to Your Audiology Practice

Abstract: Dizziness, Vertigo and Falls are among the most common acute and chronic complaints reported to physicians. It is estimated that 90 million Americans seek help for these conditions each year. The addition of neurodiagnostic vestibular evaluations within private practices can provide new sources of physician referrals, revenue, and insulation from the wide array of competitors in the hearing aid distribution landscape. This presentation provides a systematic approach on how to create, implement and operate a profitable service within your existing four walls. A review of best practice protocols, instrumentation, patient acquisition, reimbursement and building a referral network will be highlighted.
