Regardless of how skilled you’re as a doctor, being paid well and on time to your services depends upon your physician practice management skills. It’s true that the time you spend managing your practice is time you are not spending with patients. But don’t you furthermore may need to make the type of living that your work as a doctor has earned you?
As a former medical sales representative, I’ve heard most of the complaints that physicians, especially primary care physicians, have about managing their practices, particularly with regards to being paid by insurers and the govt. When you are spending it slow taking good care of others, it kind of feels the institutions that are supposed to be looking after you do not.
