Here is something I know you will find interesting: Is YOUR job safe from being replaced by AI?

Well, there was a listing recently created of the safest jobs in terms of AI replacing. And, as you might expect, medicine is one of those you will find throughout the list. Now, AI will be used to augment the delivery of medicine, but not replacing the physicians involved.

In fact, half of those listed are medicine-related.

I thought you would be interested in this legal area ... non-competes in 2026. It applies to your own staff and you as you get involved or are employed with others.

States differ. Go to the link and check out your state for how it applies to you at present.

6 states have a complete ban on non-competes and many include stiff penalties for violations.

The rest of the states have healthcare-focused limitations, which can range from the type of business category, to restrictions on duration and geography, to based upon legitimate business interests, and more.

Go to the link to see how your state handles non-competes, which is a summary by Becker.

TIP: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of PI Law Firms: How Chiropractors Can Spot Winners—and Avoid Losers

Not all personal injury law firms are created equally. Some protect case value, communicate clearly, and pay fairly. Others delay, discount, and drain your time and revenue. Knowing the difference can make or break your PI practice.

The biggest mistake chiropractors make is treating all firms the same. Smart providers learn to identify red flags early, such as poor communication, inconsistent case handling, and pressure to reduce bills before those firms cost them money.

Strong alignment with the right attorneys leads to smoother cases and stronger recoveries. When you choose law firms wisely, you protect your practice, strengthen your leverage, and build relationships that actually support growth.

This 2-Minute Personal Injury Healthcare Mindset for Medical Offices is about your medical approach to PI patients and really to all your patents.

2MMM: Apply a Biopsychosocial Approach to Trauma-Based Care

Personal injury doesn’t sit on the edges of healthcare. It sits dead center as a key segment of trauma-based care.

Yet so many providers approach PI patients as “treatment as usual” often focusing only on a specific area or region and nothing more.

I respectfully submit that’s a mistake … not just for your PI patients but for your overall healthcare approach to all patients.

Listen as I go over all three segments of the biopsychosocial model and why it matters so much.

This one area will not only separate you from your peers, it will make you a value-driver in Pi and improve patient outcomes.

When PI is done right, it aligns perfect with modern, evidence-based healthcare.

Listen in!

Personal Injury Made Easy wasn't written to hype PI or oversimplify it. It was written because many providers are working harder than they need to without fully understanding how the PI space actually works.

The reactions usually come somewhere between
"wait… really?"
and
"Why didn't anyone explain it this way before?"

If you've ever felt like PI care should make more sense than it does, this book is worth a read!

Time for Fun Fact Friday!

Did you know?

Cadillacs once came with record players inside.
In the late 1950s, luxury cars were offered with dashboard turntables. Shockingly, vinyl + potholes = terrible idea.
Records skipped nonstop, broke constantly, and sometimes launched themselves out of the player. It was Bluetooth… with more shattering.

Have a "skip-free" weekend!

Personal Injury isn’t misunderstood because it’s complex, but because it’s been reduced.

Too often, PI care gets boxed into:
• body parts
• imaging
• pain scores
• “just get them through care”

Personal injury doesn’t end at tissue damage! Trauma changes how patients move, sleep, work, comply, and make decisions.
It brings fear, legal stress, financial pressure, and life disruption — none of which show up on an MRI, but all of which shape outcomes.

This is where many providers struggle and where others quietly build authority.

When PI is approached as trauma-based, biopsychosocial care, it stops being “extra work” and starts becoming a high-value clinical segment.

We break this down step-by-step in our latest blog — including why providers who understand PI don’t treat it like a side lane.

Here is some ASC news as reported in Becker's Healthcare (more in the article):

CMS bumps ASC pay: CMS published its 2026 Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System and Ambulatory Surgical Center Final Rule Nov. 21. The update included:
--A 2.6% increase to ASC payments via the hospital market basket update. HOPDs will also receive a 2.6% payment increase.
--Finalized plans to phase out the inpatient-only list over the next three years, removing 285 primarily musculoskeletal procedures from the list in 2026. CMS will add 547 codes to the ASC-covered procedure list, including 271 coming off the inpatient-only list.
--Plans to align payment rates for select outpatient services between HOPDs and off-campus facilities to avoid higher copays based on site of service.

Trump rolls back competition order: Mr. Trump evoked Executive Order 14036 on Aug. 13, ending a Biden-era directive that called for heightened scrutiny of consolidation across industries, including healthcare. Existing antitrust laws remain in place. This could reduce regulatory friction for mergers and partnerships, potentially speeding consolidation and shifting negotiating leverage. The shift could accelerate consolidation among orthopedic and spine practices to grow, align with hospitals or health systems and strengthen their negotiating position with insurers and suppliers.

CMS updates drug price negotiations: List prices for 10 of the nation’s most expensive drugs will drop to their CMS-negotiated price Jan. 1. The bill also seeks to reverse a provision in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act that exempts medications approved for “one or more rare diseases or conditions” from the negotiations.

Trump signs executive order on price transparency: Mr. Trump signed an executive order Feb. 25 targeted at boosting healthcare price transparency. The order directs HHS and the Labor and Treasury departments to “rapidly implement and enforce” healthcare price transparency enforcement regulations. The order refers to regulations that President Trump introduced during his first term, which he said the Biden administration was “slow walking,” according to a Feb. 25 White House fact sheet.

This tip is for you and your team to learn, apply, and improve!

TIP: Use the Biopsychosocial Model for Trauma-based Care like PI

Treatment gaps can hurt a PI case if they aren’t explained. But many gaps are real-life and predictable after trauma. Injuries affect the body, the mind, and a patient’s life circumstances, and each one impacts recovery.

That’s why great PI documentation goes beyond pain and findings. It captures functional limitations and the real-world barriers that affect compliance and healing.

This isn’t fluff. It’s clinically relevant storytelling that protects case value and elevates you as a true PI value driver.
