One physician's solution to survival in today's health care, technology and a smaller and slimmer practice, with better patient care and results. BD
It's called a micropractice.
Savard started her micropractice after reading an article by Gordon Moore, a doctor in Rochester, N.Y. Moore says micropractices give patients "unfettered access" to doctors at a time when some physicians have overloaded their practices with multiple employees and too many patients.
"You do have to understand the crazy system that's been set up for how insurance is billed," Moore said.
Savard has no nurse but shares a receptionist with several other solo practitioners and does her own paperwork. Mostly, she runs her office electronically — lowering her overhead because she has no salaries to pay.
She keeps patient files on her laptop and will soon be billing electronically too. She uses software to process insurance claims. Patients make their own appointments on the website, and she fits her schedule to meet their needs.
It's about time, say doctors in vanguard - Los Angeles Times
