Hiring a new provider requires careful consideration. If you need to reduce physicians’ workload, increase your patients’ access to care, or if you are looking for strategies to reduce overhead, a PA can help. In fact, a PA may be able to efficiently treat 80{9981e14ce943923de3bdc7a53c73b24cc6a35d6b10a5feb630438bc0e5fd7698} or more of your patients, at a fraction of a physician’s salary. After all, your less complicated patients need to be treated by someone. If the right PA can do the job for less money, your practice generates more profit.
In addition to the financial benefits of integrating PAs into your practice, PAs can free up your physicians’ time. With a PA managing less complicated patients, your physicians will have more time to devote to more complex cases and to the many non-clinical aspects of running a successful practice. In short, PAs can be a time-saving, cost-effective way to grow your practice.
