I have been an employee as a board-certified Child/Adol and general psychiatrist for 20 years at my current job and will need to start a practice (in a year if things at current job don't change by then) or will stay and retire in 8 years and start a practice then. I am the only C/A in the area and the 3 private general psychiatrists are all retiring soon. There are no psyc ARNP's in area.
I'd be in solo practice with 1-2 receptionists, renting space and setting all details up on my own. I'd like do med management mostly for patients 18 and under. I'd likely farm out billing initially.
What type of legal entity do you recommend- LLC S, PC, etc. and why?
Which EMR do you use and what are costs I should expect at start up and yearly? I'd like web-based scheduling, eRx and documentation at least.
If you pay a vendor for billing, which did you choose?
What were the unexpected costs or other negatives you ran into?
Thanks in advance for any input.
