PIMadeEasy is a coaching, training and education membership program and portal for medical providers MLR is not paid until after our clients are paid.
Medical Lien Recovery (MLR) helps medical providers receive fair compensation for services performed under lien agreements. Throughout California, medical providers of all types — chiropractors, acupuncturists, physical therapists, pain management professionals, and others — agree to treat patients immediately (typically in personal injury cases) by accepting medical liens. In these situations, the medical provider agrees to wait to be paid until the personal injury lawsuit is resolved by settlement or trial verdict. Unfortunately, it is all too common for personal injury lawyers to take advantage of medical providers — most of whom lack the legal expertise to fight back or even negotiate effectively. They often shortchange on reasonable bills by hiding settlement results, misstating the law, or bullying the provider to force him or her to accept pennies on the dollar. One major reason providers get exploited: their liens and supporting documents are woefully inadequate, leaving them vulnerable to lawyers seeking to avoid paying the proper amount. Therefore, we begin by providing free access to the MLRPortal, now PI Made Easy. Inside of PIMadeEasy.com, we share lien agreements and related forms that offer proper protection, as well as the leverage that’s often needed when it’s time to collect. We also recommend procedures that clients can take to protect themselves from particularly unprincipled patient attorneys — of which there are far too many. We deal directly with patients’ attorneys and allow our clients to offload their overhead in this area to us, enabling them to focus on healing patients rather than hassling over money. Another benefit: Engaging MLR presents no financial risk to our clients since all monies are sent directly from patient attorneys to them. Sign up at PIMadeEasy.com!

Time for Fun Fact Friday!
Did you know?
There’s a monkey called the proboscis monkey that has a huge nose and scientists believe the bigger the nose, the more attractive the male is to females…and the louder his “honking” calls can be. Basically, in their world, a giant nose is like a built-in megaphone and a dating profile all in one.
Even weirder is that some monkeys literally have “handprints” on their butts. Bald uakari monkeys and mandrills have colorful faces and rear ends that help them communicate mood, status, and attraction without making a sound. Nature really said: “Let’s make them impossible to ignore.”
Have a weekend worth honking about! 🐒

TIP: Rethink Attorney Fee Arrangements Before They Drain Your Practice
Attorney fee arrangements directly impact what medical providers get paid in PI cases. When fees are structured poorly, it is often the provider who absorbs the loss, not the law firm.
The real risk is accepting arrangements you do not fully understand. When providers fail to ask questions or push back, they give up leverage and invite unnecessary reductions. Learn to protect your revenue.
Smart providers evaluate fee structures carefully and align with firms that respect medical value, supporting your practice. Choose the right attorneys before the wrong ones cost you.

This 2-Minute Monday Personal Injury Mindset for Healthcare Offices is about ego getting in the way of your decision making, and as a result, hindering your success and increasing your exposure.
2MMM: Avoid the Lemon Juice Problem, Putting Ego Aside
Here’s a true story.
A criminal named Wheeler once robbed two banks with lemon juice smeared all over his face, fully convinced it made him invisible to security cameras.
His logic? Lemon juice works as invisible ink. So of course it would hide him from surveillance cameras.
Not only was he perfectly visible on every bank camera, he smiled directly at them, confident his plan was foolproof.
Listen as I repeat what he told officers, and you aren’t going to believe it.
I’ll let you know what concept this led psychologists to come up with which apply also to many business owners … like you perhaps!
Medi-legal work plays by different rules, with nuances that blindside even seasoned doctors and office managers.
Don’t have your own lemon juice problem that will hamper your success and put your business and maybe your license at risk.
Listen in!

Did you know?
The adorable Axolotl (sometimes called the “Mexican walking fish,” even though it’s not a fish!) has a wild superpower: If it loses a limb, it can regrow it, repair nerves, and regenerate parts of its heart and brain. If only humans had that superpower!
It's been referred to as the weirdest animal on earth and unlike most amphibians, it usually stays in its “underwater teenage” form for its whole life instead of growing up and living on land!
Have an axolotl-level awesome weekend!

Medical malpractice verdicts aren't getting bigger by accident! 👀
Here's why more providers are seeing higher-risk outcomes:
• 𝐏𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 — when care feels corporate or impersonal, juries are quicker to assume fault when something goes wrong.
• 𝐁𝐢𝐠 𝐝𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 “𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐥” 𝐭𝐨 𝐣𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 — constant exposure to massive payouts has changed what feels reasonable.
• 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐬 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 — trials may focus less on one patient and more on fear about community-wide risk.
• 𝐕𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐧𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐣𝐮𝐫𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 — once extreme dollar amounts are introduced, they quietly shape expectations.
• 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 — the stress of litigation itself can push providers toward fear-based decisions.
If you are a healthcare provider, office manager or biller, this is a MUST book if you want to either start or succeed with a personal injury segment.
There is nothing close, and written specifically for you to help you make more money and protect yourself so you can do more of your healing mission.
Every review is 5 Stars.
When you read it take pen or pencil in hand and I suggest "active reading" circling, underlining and making notes on the book. You will refer to it often.
And if you don't want or have a PI segment, give the gift of knowledge to a friend or colleague who you want to help. Enjoy that gift yourself!
We offer easy, convenient returns with at least one free return option: no shipping charges. All returns must comply with our returns policy.

TIP: Why Doctors Lose to PI Law Firms and How to Win it Back
In an era of reduced reimbursements, rising costs, and increasing administrative burdens, personal injury (PI) cases can be a lifeline for medical practices. Yet many providers still accept major bill reductions from PI law firms without pushing back.
The problem is silent surrender. Fear of conflict, concern over billing perception, and lack of awareness cause even ethical, medically necessary providers to give up leverage. This happens across every state and specialty.
When doctors understand their value and stop reacting out of fear, everything changes. When you learn the blind spots and gain leverage, confidence, clarity, and strategy, it turns providers into value drivers who protect their revenue and get paid what they deserve.

Personal injury documentation is more than pain scores. The strongest PI notes capture real-life impact: work limits, sleep disruption, behavioral changes, and barriers to recovery.

2MMM: Certainty in PI is Contagious when You Combine Belief & Commitment with the Right Playbook
Let me give you certainty—real certainty—about the positive impact that a personal injury segment can have on any medical practice when it’s done right.
Forget the fears. Forget the lack of deep PI nuances. Just realize you can.
Here’s the problem: medical providers leave massive money on the table in PI cases every day.
They get run over by law firm requests that are really demands, surrounded by misdirection and concealment.
That creates a losing culture. And I know exactly what that feels like.
It’s exhausting. It’s frustrating.
Listen as I talk about how that fear, exhaustion and frustration isn’t necessary.
Listen as I talk about belief, commitment and the “right” PI playbook.
Certainty is contagious. And you can take that to the bank.
