Perhaps if ….doctors could charge for every minute that they speak on the phone with patients, and charge extra for the time they spend with pts who say, “oh by the way doc, while I’m here can you look at….” when the visit was really over, and charge a retainer for those pts who refuse to pay their copay when they come and have to be chased, and to cover insurance denials….then they wouldn’t have to book so heavily.
And if only patients would have the common courtesy of calling to cancel if they’re not going to come in (my average no show rate is 25-35%)
