For Hospitals

Considering today’s environment, particularly PPS, many rehabilitation facilities are outsourcing their medical direction in order to cut costs and to better streamline their organization. Whether it is creating a new practice to support the needs of your facility or creating a private practice from your currently employed Physicians, the potential rewards are significant.

Mutually Beneficial Partnership For the Hospital

• Eliminate Physician Salaries
• Reduce Operation Costs
• Attract Higher Qualified Physicians
• Develop Additional Rehab Revenue

For the Physicians

• Increase Compensation
• Private Practice Opportunities
• Diversify practice; expand procedure base
• Focus on individual areas of interest

Reduce Hospital Operating Costs: The hospital will realize significant savings by the elimination of physician salaries and associated overhead.

Strengthen the Hospital/Physician Partnership: By supporting this new private practice structure, the hospital is providing these physicians an opportunity to prosper and potentially generate significantly more income than as an employed physician. In turn, these physicians will value their relationship with the hospital and understand that their success is congruous with the success of your rehabilitation facility. This mutually beneficial partnership is also strengthened by the fact each share similar incentives; both are motivated to keep utilization high, effectively manage length of stay and help proficiently administer PPS legislation.

Attract Higher Qualified Physicians: Private practice opportunities attract a different class of Physicians. Ones who are more aggressive and more entrepreneurial in nature.

Create a Comprehensive Rehabilitation Product Line: This new practice structure will encourage the development of a broad based continuum of rehabilitation care. Future possibilities include a hospital sponsored pain management clinic, the introduction of cutting edge procedures and comprehensive rehabilitation care. This scenario benefits the hospital, the medical practice and more importantly the rehabilitation patient community.

MMS has helped rehabilitation facilities across the country accomplish these objectives and as a result, they are realizing a significant cost savings while at the same time getting increased production and commitment from the Physicians.
