A primary care practice is finding it hard making ends meet. An obvious problem would be the number of patients each physician is seeing:
One of the reasons revenue might be sluggish, says Falkoff, is that the practice’s six physicians each see an average of 16 to 20 patients per day, rather than the 40 or so that would yield hefty profits. “Giving patients a lot of time is a cornerstone of our practice philosophy,” he says. “We need someone to take a look at our operation and suggest remedies other than seeing more patients.”
More revenue without seeing more patients? That’s called concierge medicine my friend.
