Hello fellow ACers. I need some very important help from my friends here on the boards.
As you know, I do computers for a living and am a solo pediatrician on the side.
Just joking, I am a full time pediatrician. I opened my practice in December of 2006. I have today exactly 1500 active patients 50% Medicaid, 50% private insurance/self pay. We are seeing 25 to 35 patients a day which is all I want to see. We are solvent.
It is a bit confusing because a local pediatric office recently closed which had over 2,000 patients. As I worked there for six years, many of them are coming over. We have received 300 new patients in two weeks.
In the 11 years I have been here in the area, I have never said I don't take new patients, so it is new territory to me.
When do I say I don't take new medicaid? When do I say I don't take new private or both?
Thanks.
