Has Demise been Greatly Exaggerated?
By Staff Reporters
QUESTION: Are solo practitioners, and small group physician medical practices, on the verge of disappearing?
In our businessmodel, some pundits opine that:
“Primary care physicians and other specialists will continue to be the target of acquisitions by larger health and hospital systems. Physicians will begin to transition to a more consumer-based patient orientation model (i.e. concierge medicine, cash-for-services, retail) in order to replace lower reimbursements, or opt out of third-party reimbursement models entirely. Or alternatively, these physicians will shift to become an employee of a larger system.”
Please vote and opine.
