The Family Practitioner's Survival Guide to the Business of Medicine

The three major financial centres in every physician's life are the medical practice, the pension plan and personal finances. Listing cases and examples , this guidebook addresses these three interrelated financial centres in a two-phase process: how to conduct practice management review and then how to use this process to establish an ongoing system for successful total financial management. This second edition also has new material on capitation; integrated delivery systems; mergers, acquisitions and practice valuation; pensions; and dealing with managed care companies.
