Starting in Medical Practice
Credit(s):
3 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ (Enduring)
3 ETHICS
1 TMLT
Not that long ago, a physician could leave residency or a group practice, pick a community, borrow money for equipment, rent an office, put up a sign, and start practicing medicine. Today, the administrative and financial challenges of starting and operating a practice have increased dramatically. The revenue cycle is quite complex, the cash outlays are much higher, and more government regulations affect medical practices.
To ensure a better chance of success, the physician needs to start with the right structure, people, and processes. From securing a loan to hiring staff to choosing software and equipment, a myriad of tasks and important decisions will impact practice operations for years to come. Fortunately, the physician does not have to go it alone when starting a practice. This is your guide for the journey ahead.
