Different Strategies for
Medical
Practices in Today's Economy
Running a successful medical practice in today's economic
climate is a tough job. There are
increasing regulatory issues, decreasing reimbursement, growing competition,
declining economy and other issues impacting the way we do business. The top challenges for practices are
maintaining physician compensation, balancing rising operating costs with
declining reimbursements, and collecting larger balances from patients. All of this is leading to income erosion for
physicians.
In many industries, poorly
managed businesses can survive on volume.
Due to the economic principles as applied to healthcare
financing, more volume (working harder) does not directly
correlate to more revenue. Because of
the predominance of discounted fee for service payer reimbursement and Medicare
payment cuts, volume does not always produce more profits.
