The report surveyed more than 740 self-employed physicians.
Here’s what five anonymous physicians said about the downsides of being self employed:
“I answer emails all the time and I know nothing about business!”
“A lot of regulations. Increased expenses. Decreased reimbursement. Fluctuating workloads. Hiring issues.”
“Hiring proper staff and pampering them from time to time so they don’t leave all of the sudden because some other organization is offering a few bucks extra.”
“Apparently someone in D.C. is paid to make up goofy regulations. It’s all overwhelming.”
“As a partner-owner, you spend more time keeping the practice afloat and putting out fires.”
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
