NOW TO THE ORIGINAL REPORT THAT WAS FILED =====================
HealthSource Chiropractic Franchises A big sales pitch with lots of hidden expenses and unfounded claims Vermillion, OHIO
HealthSource is a chiropractic franchise business opportunity created by Dr. Chris Tomshack. He is an aggressive marketer and quite the salesman. He states that he has developed "systems" that teach chiropractors to have more success. I think he is the one making tons of $$ off of chiropractors.
First if you buy into his business. What you are doing is taking your current chiropractic office and changing it to "his' vision of patient care. You must pay around 25-30,000 for the franchise fee. Then he takes 7-7.5% of your monthly collections as a royalty fee. So what do you get for 25-30K, well you get his training..His training is nothing more that re-hashed scrips and forms that any chiropractor that has been to a few seminars has or been exposed to. But you do get a lot of vendors pushing their vitamins and their equipment.
Now of course if you are from out of town, you pay this guy 25-30K ( and you can finance it with his buddy bankers ) then you automatically give him 7-7.5% of what you WERE ALREADY MAKING. But dont expect a free lunch, you have to buy that. Then you are required to use HIS SOFTWARE - Phunkey. He has an apparent stake with this company. The cost for using HIS software, about another 500-600 per month.
Now you must run his "ads" which are nothing more than glossy killer ads with giveaways...things like free leather tote bag, gas cards, gift cards and steak knives. Of course these ads are needed to run weekly at a monthly cost of 4-5K each month..There are no systems, but lots of gray area with billings and somewhat very sketchy billing advice. Now when you add the franchise fees, required ads, Phunkey software, and royalty, you are looking at quite an expensive increase in overhead. They claim to be compliant with an up to date with insurances. If you question "their" orders on how to bill, you could be dropped from the program with penalty fees with no refunds. Many doctors have dropped out from the lack of any true systems.
Dr. Tomshack claims he has or had 4 successful clinics. Not true he had 2 barely profitable with his personal and systems in place. He is a great salesman, which what would you do, sell patients on care plans or sell chiropractors on a bright future. The ladder is worth a lot more money. Many of the current ads in the journal have testimonials from ordinary chiropractors..Yea. Dr. Frank's story...go their website, he is in the corporate team. He gets paid by the company. Not really objective.
Avoid this company like the plaque. I would guess a class action case from all his members would help save the cheapening of chiropractic by this company.
