Anyone here who started their own private practice?

[FamilymedMD]

Did you set it up such that you dispense medications for a very low cost to your patients as well?

Yes, meds and labs. We get wholesale meds and sell them at 20% above our cost. My guess is that's enough to cover our labor cost but not enough to unconsciously bias me towards prescribing or shifting their business from pharmacies to us.
We do the same with client billing of labs from Quest.
Both are very popular with uninsured patients of course but also with the 50% or so of our patients that have very high deductible marketplace plans.
