In this issue... Our front cover features a very active member in the chiropractic profession. Dr. Patrick Gentempo, CEO of the Chiropractic Leadership Alliance. A true visionary, he states his ambitious "goal for the chiropractic profession is simple: World Domination of Healthcare in a Chiropractic Model!" Having achieved awards and recognition from three of the nation's chiropractic associations, the ACA, ICA, and WCA, Dr. Gentempo is an amazing communicator and leader. Our cover story and article appropriately titled A Man with Insight not only refers to his unique perspective but also to his company's innovative diagnostic technology, called the "Insight Subluxation Station." This technology is already having a significant impact on the manner in which many chiropractors practice. Find out in his interview beginning on page 28, what it's all about, the philosophy behind it and how it can help your patients! Also featured in this issue, are several articles to further help you plan for success in a variety of areas. Finance advisor, Matthew Boyce, gives you some great tips on evaluating your assets and planning your retirement in his article on page 46, "Are You Selling Your Practice—and Your Future—Short?" And Dr. Dwight C. Whynot explores the subject of "Medical Necessity and the Role of Diagnostic Tests" on page 48. Certified Professional Coder Bharon Hoag expands on the issue of cash-based vs. insurance-based practices in his article "A Call to Arms: 'Victimized or Victorious?'" on page 50. You may be surprised to discover his easy-to-implement tips on working with the insurance machine can actually help the entire profession grow! As the profession grows, you may notice that each year you have a greater variety of seminars from which to choose. Realizing that your time away from home for studying and CE credits is limited, we at TAC like to help you with your plans by putting together our Annual Seminar Planning Handbook (beginning on page 36). Find the best national seminar opportunities to choose from right here at your fingertips! You'll also notice many of our advertisers have included specific seminar information in their advertisements in this issue for seminars up to a year in advance—and with some of the exotic locations for international travel such as Panama (sponsored by TAC), Portugal (sponsored by the WFC) and even Russia (sponsored by Standard Process), you'll need to start planning now to attend! With this being our annual Seminar issue, you'll also find the unveiling of the full speaker program (on pages 19 to 24) that we've compiled for you to see all in one place at our very own symposium, CHIROPRACTIC '07 to be held Feb. 22nd to the 24th, 2007, in the Republic of Panama. You can now register online at: www.chiropractic07. com or call us at our office here at: 1-888-668-8728. Help us get the word out and make your own plans to attend!
