Imaginary Clinic
The clinic is a general practice clinic. It provides person-centred, progressive as well as comprehensive whole-person health care to persons and families in their society. It encompasses the foundations of an efficient health care system (“Capterra” par.1).
Branches of the Clinic
The clinic is a stand-alone clinic. However, satellite offices will be opened in different towns within a year in an attempt to reach more people (“Capterra” par.1).
The clinic has four physicians and 7 physician extenders. That is, four nurse practitioners and three physician assistants. More physicians and physician extenders will be recruited as time goes. The new physicians will be sent to our satellite offices once they are open (“Capterra” par.2).
Billing
We do our own billing and coding. Outsourcing is not usually done unless a situation demands (“Capterra” par.3).
Payment Structure
Our payment structure is fee-for-service. The structure also partially allows insurance and Medicare (“Capterra” par.4).
The average numbers of patients that are attended to in our clinic per day are 30. About ten thousand eight hundred patients are attended to in our clinic annually (“Capterra” par. 4).
