Since neither scheduling nor billing appear to be different for a doctor in their first year vs 17th can you explain why a first year doctor whose salary is less but whom insurers pay just as much for you to see represents a loss?
- IG_Semmelweiss 4y agoRE: scheduling actually is better for established doctors. A doctor will move much faster and squeeze in more patients in Yr 3 vs Yr 2, same difference btw Yr 2 and Yr 1. In my experience, doctors will plateau somewhere around year 3 unless they are actively iterating around software/personnel for smaller improvements. In addition, the new doctor does not have an established footprint in the community, online (social media, ads) or a trail of good reviews> In short,no book of patients. The established practice will help filling the schedule of a new doctor, but ultimately it comes to skill with referrals + word of mouth + time.
