End of the week and end of the month

Nothing beats a friday.



Had a busy two days. Busy these days equaled 15 patients on both thursday and friday.



Stats:



3 new patients

3 renewed their wellness plan

1 established patient enrolled in a wellness plan

1 new patient enrolled in a wellness plan- this patient is presently uninsured, but his father sees the value of a primary care doc to join a monthly payment plan.



The month ended with increased revenues over January. If I take out old insurance money for Jan-Feb08, then Jan-Feb 09 shows a slight increase. Now with the larger upfront wellness plan payments, and zero copays for the rest of the year, this may decrease as the year moves forward. So I will need to continue to bring in new wellness plan patients. About 40% of my wellness plan patients are paying by ACH, autodebit from bank account, which will keep the cash flow a little more regular.



The month ends and I am encouraged. It does not take many new patient's to increase revenues, and I hope to enroll 25 wellness patient's a month. The first two months brought in 57.

The first two months of the year also breaks down as follows:

40% of patient volume is Wellness patient's
40% of patient volume is Self-pay
20% of patient volume is Medicare

I like this breakdown, and would like to increase the wellness portion to 50% by the end of the year. We'll see what happens, so keep lurking.
