Slow but promising

Slow day today. Only saw 8 patients. But brought in over $1100.

How can that be??

1 new patient for a full physical with tests.
1 patient renewed their wellness plan- paid in full.
4 other self pay patients- 1 of which will be returning next week to join the wellness plan, and possibly add her 2 kids.

1 patient with a bad back and lingering depression scheduled a 15 minute phone session and paid prior to with a credit card. This is something that I need to consider. Phone sessions for established patients, with a credit card or bank account debit set up. Less stress at the office for the routine and follow-up care. I may need to send out a patient survey on the need for this service. Wellness plan patients already get this service as part of their plan. But if I added a $25 yearly charge per patient, $50 per family for "phone care", with a possible $25 charge per phone session, it could really bring up revenues. The truly sick would be told to come in for evaluation.
