Dr. Bracic’s father was a mechanical engineer. He taught him how to rebuild car engines, repair boats and instilled in him a mechanical engineer mindset. At the age of 23, Dr. Bracic was in a horrific car accident. His friend rolled a convertible which then struck a tree. Months after the accident Dr. Bracic still suffered lower back pain and looked for a doctor to make the pain go away but no one could pinpoint the cause of his injuries. A family-friend recommended he visit a local chiropractor. Within a few weeks Dr. Bracic started feeling better.
Dr. Bracic took an interest in the profession, wanting to help people that have gone through similar traumatic injuries. He earned his doctoral degree in Chiropractic in 1993 and opened his first clinic in 1994 and his second one a year later. Dr. Bracic has been helping accident injury patients for the past 25 years.

Why is the Discount Challenge prize amount $15,024? Because that is the average “per-occurrence” fine for Medicare inducements. That’s not $15,024 per patient, that’s not per provider, that’s PER VISIT. Stinks, doesn’t it? To us, the prize amount is worth the investment if we can help our profession better understand proper discounting.
