The Business of Neuropsychology:  Is That Really a Thing?
Mark T. Barisa, PhD, ABPP
A virtual workshop
Saturday- October 15, 2022 8-11:15 am

Psychologists and neuropsychologists receive education and training that allow them to see patients and do quality clinical work. However, the practice of neuropsychology is often constrained by institutional goals of making money so that the doors can remain open. As a result, clinicians often face conflict when their altruistic ideals of helping their patients meet the capitalistic needs and business demands of keeping a practice open. Little is offered in graduate school and training programs that prepare clinicians for the business realities that await them in the workplace. Additionally, the everchanging healthcare marketplace, in terms of billing and coding, insurance and credentialing requirements, regulatory changes, and healthcare policy further the frustrations and risks associated with the business aspects of clinical practice. The purpose of this presentation is to give the participant a basic understanding of key concepts of the business aspects of healthcare, while also providing ideas to diversify and manage a practice in neuropsychology in ways that will allow participants to grow, develop, promote, and market aspects of their practice that meet the fiscal, professional, and personal goals for them as a practitioner/person, as well as the practice or institution where they work.

Learning Objectives: By attending this workshop, attendees will be able to:

• Discuss at least three aspects of changes in healthcare policy that impact maintenance of a high-quality professional neuropsychology practice.
