If opening your own practice in a small town or small city, how much should a primary care physician expect to make today? Working 9-5, not taking any charting home with you, using PA's/NP's as is feasible, but most importantly--spending time with the patient. I know how much time is appropriate is relative, but the sentiment here is that, on the spectrum of time spent with the patient, your practice is on the very liberal end. Without knowing much about insurance and reimbursement rates, lets say you decide to accept all insurance. I know there are startup costs and such associated with getting the office up and running, but what would you put the average physician salary at in this circumstance?
Are we talking 100k/yr with a full schedule? More towards 150k? Obviously money isn't the primary object in this scenario.
