Evaluations- The actual histories and
physicals are performed 95% of the time by nurse practitioners or
physicians assistants, supervised by a Comprehensive medical
director assigned to the particular facility. The allied health
personnel are consistent, as is the medical director.
Physician Satisfaction- Because of the
above mentioned goals of efficiency, consistency and quality,
physician satisfaction should be enhanced. In additon, since pre-op
physicals done by the surgeon are generally not in and of themselves
reimbursable beyond the global surgery fees, surgeons can free up
time and personnel for other revenue generating work in the office.
Liability- Comprehensive maintains
professional liability insurance for all of its nurse practitioners.
Its medical directors maintain full personal liability insurance as
well.
