20/20 Money Episode #179 – Using Lipiflow to increase standard of care (and thus practice income) with Dr. Todd Cohan, OD

April 11, 2022

Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money! My guest on today’s show is Dr. Todd Cohan (email; website).

Todd joins the show to talk about how much of a positive impact integrating ocular surface disease has been not only for the increased standard of care he’s been able to provide patients but also how that has helped him run a very profitable practice. We start out talking about how his practice does things a bit different by charging for the pretesting in their office, how that has translated into his revenue per patient being in the 99th percentile, how he got involved in OSD, a bit of a clinical digression about Lipiflow, mistakes he’s observed practice owners make, and how practice owners can begin to think about executing on this plan in their practice.
