CARDIOLOGY CASE STUDY

A cardiologist needed to stabilize his practice

A highly regarded senior cardiologist was faced with all too common concern: declining reimbursements and increasing overhead costs were destabalizing his practice. After going months without receiving compensation, he knew he needed to make a change or retire. He loved his patients and they loved him too—he did not want to say goodbye to them. He met with Concierge Choice Physicians with the hope a membership option could help support his practice.

The cardiologist outlined his goals:

He need to generate more revenue
He did not want to dismiss any patients from his practice
Maintaining his referral relationships was critical

After CCP’s indepth practice and patient analysis, we recommended a Hybrid Choice™ program for this cardiologist. The analysis showed the Hybrid Choice’s flexible approach to membership medicine would allow him to meet his goals in the most seamless manner, without disrupting his practice structure.

The proprietary patient analysis was also a validation of his life’s work, confirming the strength of the relationship he shared with patients. While the Hybrid Choice’s blended approach to concierge care allowed him to maintain his private practice, it also showed that he had the flexibiity to eventually move to a full concierge practice, when the time was right.

Three years later: The cardiologist’s limited membership program reached capacity and he earned nearly $200k per year in new revenue, all from his most loyal patients. The extra income allowed him to maintain his practice and continue to care for all of his patients. Best of all, it didn’t cost him anything to start.

Seven years later: The cardiologist decided to transition to a full concierge practice instead of retiring. With a much smaller patient panel made up entirely of concierge members, he continues to practice medicine while generating the same amount of yearly revenue at a pace that works for him. CCP handled his transition and continues to support and nurture his cardiology membership practice.

“I can now practice medicine in the way I think best while maintaining a profitable practice with less financial worries. I don’t feel forced to see more and more patients. I have a more enjoyable pace with time to work closely with patients.”
