My wife, a Family Physician, and I, her Office Manager, are closing our practice after 20 years (the usual reasons; ever-increasing prior auths, referral and procedural roadblocks imposed by insurance companies necessitate hiring another employee, and we can't afford that). She will work for a corporate entity for a couple of years (she has to learn Allscripts initially, and then the organization is supposed to transition to Epic next autumn) and then plans to retire. Fortunately, she'll still be in the same town, so many of her patients will follow her to the new practice.

I have been taking care of my aging father-in-law and my mother, so my retirement from office management frees up more of my time.

I'd like to thank the people who have maintained this board, and thanks to the many who have helped us over the years (we've used A. C. since the beta for version 1).
We wish everyone the best of luck in the future!

Kurt
