How is Personalcare Physicians of Newport Beach different than a traditional medical practice?
Traditional practices are volume based. Physicians are normally compensated on the number of patients they can see per day due to the increased focus on insurance billing. A typical full time physician will care for an average of 3,500 patients in his or her practice and will see an average of 25-35 patients per day. This volume is necessary in order to have a financially viable practice. As insurance companies decrease reimbursements, physicians are forced to increase their volume to maintain their practice. At Personalcare Physicians of Newport Beach we charge a yearly access fee that allows us the financial ability to see fewer patients, no more than 350 per physician, usually no more than 5-6 per day. This allows us to dedicate quality time to every patient and to offer superior, world-class treatment options to each of our patients individually.
