I joined them and belonged for a year when they first started accepting MTs into their network. However, I never received any clients through their referral network.

And that's actually all they are to my knowledge, a referral network. They send clients to you... if you promise to give their patients/consumers a discount on your work. They only pay a certain amount per 15 minute increment as well... so all I can say is pay really close attention to the details and sit down with a calculator and see if it is TRULY worth your while. In the end, with the extra paperwork etc, I didn't think so.

American specialties health network

I was contacted last year by ASH-they asked all AMTA members, I think. I did some looking and asking around and discovered a few things about ASH:
1. They have reduced fees for chiropractors in Los Angeles, California, area and have fought lawsuits by DCs. ASH has thousand of clients in So. California. DC's are going hurting after signing up with ASH and seeing too many people at low fees.
2. ASH turned down 30% of DC's treatment plans in a year.
3. They are only looking for a low-fee provider, they don't care about quality of care, longevity of the provider, or skill levels.
4. Their rate for massage is supressing the price of that service. Period. They want therapists to do a volume business.
5. Their Sprawl Mart model is only going to save them money, allow them to boast about having massage covered, and save their clients money in the long run at a cost to the providers.

I turned them down and I think they are not a good company to contract with.
Respectfully yours,
