I do 20 min new patients and 10 minute f/u or post-ops. There are a few new patients that we schedule for 40 minutes such as cancer patients and very complex ones that I know are coming. It's really not enough time but with the Medicaid no-shows and no-shows in general, I run on-time 90-95% of the time.
I don't think you can make it with Medicaid patients scheduled for 45 minutes. They pay zilch.
