Thanks, That helps.
My 2 cents worth. I agree that it can be very hard, but very enjoyable. I am a selective practice, I am not large, but my patients know that when they apply to join my practice, that I do not take everybody, and most have to have a reference, or be referred from someone who is already in the practice. However, They know that Once they are in, We are Hi-quality, and "Hi-Touch". I am mostly Insurance 70%, some Private pay 5%, and about 25% Medicaid. That is the proportion that seems to work best. If I go over 25% on the Mcaid, It is very difficult to justify my overhead. I consider the use of Amazing Charts as part of the successful business plan. It makes me more efficient, the patients like getting a print-out of the plan, and "Computer-generated" Rx's that demonstrate the detail and support the "quality" of the visit. It has streamlined the interoffice communications, and messaging, and there are no loose ends on labs and callbacks. You can enjoy medicine again as a solo practitioner, because You Are In Charge!. The practice will be what you want it to be. Good luck!
