PLUS PRACTICE BUILDING & MARKETING STRATEGIES

Presented by: Vivian Madison- Mahoney, LMT, FSMTA Insurance Consultant

DON’T BELIEVE ALL YOU HEAR, GET IT STRAIGHT ONCE AND FOR ALL!

Vivian has 24 years experience working with insurance issues!

Don’t miss this opportunity ** Get Your Questions Answered!

CHOOSE FROM TWO (2) LOCATIONS ONLY, ORLANDO or DAYTONA!!

This course was offered last year with overwhelming attendance and success. So much so that I’ve decided to give it one more round. However due to time & travel expenses involved I’m presenting only 2 seminars.

Learn how to increase your income with solid, honest, up to date training in FL Insurance Billing, Reimbursement Laws & Rules. 6 CE’S, FL & NCBTMB Approved. Seminars are accepted by AMTA and ABMP. (You Can Upgrade to 24 + 3 Ethics CE’s, Discounted during Class)

"MANIPULATE YOUR FUTURE" manual will be used as a reference guide throughout the seminar:

This 6 -hour course can be upgraded to 24 + 3 Ethics CE’s, How-to is covered in class. A good plan if you want to increase your income now but don’t need CE’s at this time. Save test answers, submit when needed but get live-in person training and questions answered while you still can. FL only allows 6 of these CE’s for renewal. Manual & Upgrade are discounted in class

DON’T DO THIS FOR CE’S, DO IT FOR YOUR CLIENTS AND YOUR INCOME!!

Both manual and courses have over 20 years of experience, research and proven results behind them to assist in your learning, growing and money making experiences!

A PRE-HOLIDAY
HEADS UP
A NEW LAW RELATING TO
GIFT CERTIFICATES
 

On June 28, 2007 Governor Charlie Crist signed into law Senate Bill 1638 as Florida Statute Section 501.95, “Relating to Gift Certificates and similar Credit Items”.

 
In essence the law states that any Gift Certificate or similar credit item that is sold CANNOT carry an EXPIRATION DATE.
 
There are a few exceptions, but they are basically relate to freebees given to garner additional business, or those offered by financial institutions in the process of carrying out their daily business activities.
In addition the law prohibits the charging of FEES by the provider for GCs that are redeemed.  Service, dormancy, administration, account maintenance or cash-out fees are expressly prohibited.
 
For a more detailed explanation of this new law, please click on the above links to review a summary of the exceptions or to read the law in its entirety.
 
With the holiday season now upon us, your FSMTA Board and Lobby Team wanted to remind and inform you of this change to an important segment of the business of massage.
 
If you should have any questions concerning this issue, please contact me at anytime.
