Group Practice
|
|
In the US, 60% of its 6.9 lakh doctors are in group practices.
ADVANTAGES OF GROUP PRACTICE
- Cost of practice is shared, so fees become more affordable. Groups can negotiate and execute their terms better with hospitals and insurance companies.
- When insurance companies introduce capitated payment contracts (fixed fee for a fixed period of time as per disease profile), a group will be able to take on the financial risk.
- Younger doctors can compete more effectively with established stars in their specialty and establish their practice more quickly and easily by joining groups.
- Expect setting up of many Medical Office Buildings, a halfway house between a doctor’s practice and a hospital that will provide out patient facilities.
