Let's Talk Section 179
On this episode of Chiropractical, we're joined by Becky Fluegge from NCMIC who will share information about a lesser known tax deduction called Section 179 that could help you save money while improving your practice.
Mike Whitmer and Jim Bembenek will tackle two questions submitted for our Ask NCMIC Segment :
- Especially in this time of COVID-19, can we do contactless payments or is a signature still required on a receipt?
- When a doctor moves their practice from one state to another, what needs to happen with their malpractice coverage?
And that will be followed by a very personal conversation with Dr. Gerry Clum about his search for an organ donor.
