Abstract: This Learning Module explores two critical strategies for modern audiology practice management: effectively incorporating audiology assistants and navigating decisions around Third Party Administrator networks. Participants will learn how assistants can enhance efficiency, improve patient access, and support clinical workflows while understanding the responsibilities, supervision requirements, and delegation strategies involved. The session also provides a clear overview of TPAs, outlining the benefits and drawbacks of joining networks and offering practical strategies for practices that remain out of network, such as transparent pricing, value based service packages, and patient friendly financing options. Through real world examples and interactive discussion, attendees will gain actionable insights to optimize care delivery, strengthen their competitive position, and align business operations with both patient needs and financial sustainability.

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion of this session, the participant will be able to explain the benefits and limitations of incorporating audiology assistants into practice workflows.
Upon completion of this session, the participant will be able to identify key considerations when deciding whether to participate in Third-Party Administrator (TPA) networks.
Upon completion of this session, the participant will be able to describe strategies to compete with TPA benefits for practices that are out-of-network.
