Here are three physician practice or clinic closures Becker’s has reported on in the last month.
1. Menocal Family Practice, an affiliate of Privia Health, will permanently close its Salisbury, Md., office on July 25, the practice announced in an Instagram post.
2, Providence, R.I.-based Anchor Medical Associates officially closed all three of its offices on June 30, leaving approximately 25,000 patients without a primary care provider. The closure, announced in April, was attributed to a worsening physician shortage and the group’s inability to recruit replacements for retiring physicians. Rising operational costs and declining reimbursement rates further strained the practice.
3. Nancy Williams-Wallace, MD, is closing her ophthalmology practice, Tampa Bay Eye Associates, located in Palm Harbor, Fla. Patients can request copies of their medical records to be sent directly to themselves or to another physician by contacting the practice via email.
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.
