Tips to help you run a good business
icon-location

Location is key

It is advisable to select a location that is highly visible and heavy trafficked. You will get patients just by being visible.

icon-staff

Having good staff is essential

Patients will “chose you or lose you” just based on who you hire. Start with just one employee to answer the phone and add more as you get busier.

icon-accountant

Get a good accountant

Business taxes are very confusing and not all accountants know the nuances of medical practices.

icon-attorney

Hire a good attorney as well

As a business owner, you will be entering into many contracts, from leases to sub-contracting. It is always wise to have an attorney review your contracts

icon-insurance

Get A-rated malpractice insurance

This is not something to skimp on. Occurrence is better but more expensive. Also keep in mind that malpractice insurance is in effect only while you are paying for the premium.

icon-rules

Know the rules

Be an expert in coding and billing. You are responsible for any mistakes. And go through your accounts receivable on at least a monthly basis.

icon-pencil

Never write off patient co-payments

Make adjustments for financial hardships. And this should happen rarely.

icon-clock

Take time for yourself.

If you get consumed with practice management and don’t balance it with things you enjoy, you will burn out.

“Calling the medical aid after I have just sent a claim has become such a pleasure. As a result of Healthbridge’s extensive and well-structured network, the medical aid knows immediately to which claim I am referring to and its corresponding issue.”
