“I’m a Certified Professional Coder with a Master of Science in Nonprofit Management. I have 25 years of experience in medical coding, provider credentialing, insurance claim filing, and database setup. Several years ago, I was asked to assist a treatment agency with its transition from donor-based funding to one in which insurance claims were filed for reimbursement. Some processes were already in place, but the goal was to create a formal billing department. This was a challenging and rewarding experience. It was there that I met David Kingsbury.

David was hired as a Licensed Clinical Counselor and Executive Director, but his duties did not stop there. He was energetic, optimistic, and professional. His education, past employment and personal experiences made him uniquely qualified for the task of helping the organization obtain formal accreditation.

There were several steps involved in obtaining accreditation including but not limited to policy manual updates and medical records development.

David was quickly recognized as someone who could help the organization with those steps. He worked in a clinical and in an administrative capacity by not only providing counseling to patients, but also by training and supervising staff.

David was credited with writing many of the policies required by insurance companies as well as those needed to obtain and maintain CARF accreditation.

David worked with the clinical and administrative staff to create the forms and the format of the individual patient charts. He was also responsible for establishing a HIPAA compliant Medical Records Department.

It was a hectic time for staff with many changes. The organization was being taken in new directions that would allow for the growth needed to meet the demands of a substance abuse epidemic.

The transition required a 100% commitment from the staff and volunteers and at times it was uncomfortable and overwhelming. But all those involved persevered by remaining committed to the goal and to each other.

In hindsight, the process mirrored the techniques of Accelerated NeuroConversion (ANC). The organizational vision was redirected for greater outreach and recognition. The former methods were replaced with streamlined and more efficient techniques. This allowed the organization to achieve greater potential and in turn allowed it to duplicate the process with greater speed, as evidenced by the addition of several more treatment facilities and staff members in a relatively short period of time.

Repetition breeds proficiency, and that phrase, although an oversimplification, is how I would describe Accelerated NeuroConversion (ANC). It is a process by which one replaces a bad habit with a good one while maintaining a commitment to a better life and ultimate success.

The techniques discussed in [the pages of his book “It’s Totally Possible”] are not isolated to the treatment of addiction. They are instead written for you and me. Anyone with identifiable goals and a desire to achieve them can benefit from ANC. As David states, ‘There’s truly nothing holding you back but yourself.”
