Physician Practice Assessment

Client/Profile

Independent, non-profit, acute care hospital in the Northeast

Challenge/Situation

To complete a practice assessment of a single-specialty, low productivity, medical practice for a potential employment arrangement with the physician owners.

Process

Veralon reviewed and assessed historical financials, physician productivity, and compensation that reflected historically low productivity and very low collections. Since the existing compensation model assumed a minimum of median performance, it would have overpaid this physician.

Results

Veralon developed a compensation model through a detailed analysis that fairly addressed the low productivity and emphasized rationalization of practice expense.

Deliverables included a summary presentation on practice background, productivity analysis, and proposed compensation.
