Physician Launch Services for Start Ups:
Many physicians fail to chart the course of their new practice. There is much preplanning and preparation needed before the practice is open. Most hospitals offer physicians an income guarantee until the practice is profitable and self sustaining. Our focus is to make sure the practice reaches profitability as soon as possible to reduce this expense.
Navigating through the maze of applications and red tape of network contracting, purchasing medical equipment, hiring and training staff, choosing a practice management software, as well as many other decisions that must be made can be a bit overwhelming.
Knowing what to do and when to do it can go a long way in ensuring a successful launch and, more importantly, smooth sailing long-term.
