Woolley: "Re: observation" In reply to: Steven W Crawford: "Office Staff Question" Next in thread: William McIntosh: "Re: Office Staff Question" Well - we staff a bit different. I rent office space - and personnel from a pair of urologists. For the 3 of us, we have 3 FT staff and 2 PT. I am only at the Primary office and they have a secondary office. Only one of them is at either office at a time. At the satellite office, they have a part time receptionist/gal Friday who is there to do the various duties- only when they are there seeing patients. At the primary office we have 1 who is receptionist/assistant/surgery scheduler/precert/put patients in rooms etc. 1 who is primarily transcription/billing sleuth etc/reception. Then the office manager - who actually does the billing, payroll, etc. All three cross cover for each other. The we have one additional PT person (wife of one of the Uros) who does the reception/patient in rooms etc stuff. No nurses. We give our own shots, call our patients with their results etc. I book patients for (mostly) 30 minute visits and the last patient is at 4PM so we can leave at 5 (well the staff does) and I do mostly by 5:30. So I only see 15 or so patients a day - 3 days a week. I have one surgery day a week and one catch-up/do Mom stuff day. My income is down (from when I was killing myself in a big group practice) - but both the patients and I get a lot more satisfaction from the care given and received. It works currently - as a single Mom of teenagers. The Uros schedule 20-30 per day but have wives to cook supper, clean house and run the kids around.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
