&lt;h1&gt;Auto Insurance 101 (06-10)&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;b&gt;EVENT DATE:&lt;/B&gt; Sunday, June 10, 2012&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;TIME:&lt;/b&gt;8:30:00 AM to 5:00:00 PM&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;VENUE:&lt;/b&gt;Holdiay Inn Barrie, Hotel and Conference Centre&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;SPEAKER(s):&lt;/b&gt;Donald Q.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Auto insurance claims provide great opportunities, but RMTs can find the system confusing and complex. As a result, these cases are referred to other RMTs more savvy working within the system. You don't need to refer these cases out! We need RMTs working within the system to ensure massage therapy's position in rehabilitation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Through lecture and group exercise, learn to navigate the auto insurance system by your next work day!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;This course will cover: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul type=&quot;disc&quot;&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Step-by-step work through the treatment and assessment plan (OCF 18), treatment confirmation (OCF23) and invoice (OCF 21) forms; &lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Tips to decrease complexity and time working within the system; &lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;How to make the fee structure work for you; &lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Working within the new Minor Injury Guideline (MIG);&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;How use relationships with gatekeeper health professions to your advantage; &lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Discover an alternate funding source: Supplementary Goods and Services; &lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Assessment tools available so you feel confident and competent in recommending care.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
