PA-NP couple breaks norms with family medicine clinic. MedTwitter familymedicine
of PAs and NPs are practice owners. Why did you go that route instead of joining a hospital or larger practice?Working for a hospital system, I was spinning my wheels. It takes months or years to change things that will make a difference in a patient's life because of how big the organization is. Here, if we want to make a change, I talk to Dara and we talk to our medical directors and that's it. The changes are implemented the next day.
We can also call our collaborating physicians and say,"I have this patient. This is what I'm thinking. Are you thinking anything different?"We have telemedicine. We have an in-house pharmacy so we can dispense medications. Our urgent care is robust, we can do just about any lab service you can think of on-site, and we can give antibiotics and [intravenous] fluids. Just two doors down, we have advanced radiology so most times we can get imaging the same day.
We also have a good relationship with one of the local hospitals where we can directly admit patients we see in our clinic to the hospital.That way, we can keep our prices affordable. For instance, through our clinic a CMP costs $5. At another clinic the cost might be $100 to $125. Also, you pay your bill for the day and you do not have to expect more bills later. That's it.To date we've seen 500 patients, some of them multiple times; a good number for being open just over 7 months.
