The
profession of audiology is going through a period of transition. With new
disruptions such as over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids, it can be challenging
to determine what service and billing model may best meet the needs of your
patients and your practice. This webinar will explore the pros and cons of
bundled and unbundled models, review how audiologists can evaluate their
existing service delivery model, and outline the process of transitioning to a
new model.
