$200k per year IMP Model -- Realistic?

[Guest guest]

Gordon mentioned at the IMP conference that the ideal would be to set

up the IMP model and reimbursement system such that the take home pay

for an IMP would be $200,000 per year.

Just some thoughts on that concept...

If a doc sees patients 48 weeks per year (5-days/week) = 240 days.

And sees 10-20 patient visits per day.

Then that would be 240 days x 10-20 visits/day

Equals --> 2400-4800 visits per year.

So each patient visit on average to make the $200,000/year would have

to be...

$200,000/year divided by 2400-4800 visits/year

Equals --> $42-83 per visit

Now this is assuming 0% overhead.

So add on whatever % of overhead you have to the $42-83/visit average

to make up for overhead costs.

I'm not sure what all this means -- but I suppose it's a goal.

Thoughts?
