Over the years, we have helped several startups gain footing and become successful. While this can take time, the SiteScreen team is committed to partnering with you to see it through.
Organizing all the details of a practice can be overwhelming on your own. We will work to better understand the specifics of your practice’s vision and take care of these points so you can focus on the bigger picture.
Through our experience, we have accumulated several resources and connections for our clients to access. These networks and resources can jump-start your startup and continue to foster growth.
In addition to knowing and overseeing the multitude of details necessary to launch a healthcare practice, success hinges on completing tasks in the proper sequence. Knowledge about which tasks are necessary prerequisites for others can serve as a catalyst for growth, as this keeps your startup workflow on track. Armed with the necessary knowledge, you can avoid costly delays and make timely decisions that impact early profits.
No matter where you are in the process, you have the flexibility to choose the level of service you need. Equipped with the knowledge of medical practice startup procedures, our professional team knows how to power through these processes efficiently. We also work with clients after the initial startup procedures to ensure higher levels of professional success.

Opting to put most managerial tasks on your shoulders instead of relying on outsourced services and consultations may seem appealing when starting a medical practice. It is possible to establish a practice without paying for outsourced services, but you can miss out on crucial growth opportunities.
Bogged down by managerial tasks and fumbling through the new responsibilities necessary to run a successful practice leaves little time to focus on profitability. Outsourcing frees up time to implement a robust marketing plan that draws in more patients — enabling you to see more patients in the first few years of your startup practice.
A “do-it-yourself” approach can also lead to a significant loss of revenue if you do not get credentialed with the appropriate insurance provider. This can result in missing out on two potential patients each day, resulting in a loss of $300 every day and up to $6,000 per month. These losses can happen even if you have an effective marketing strategy in place.
A standard practice startup checklist might bring the hidden costs of starting a medical practice to your attention. These costs include:
Being aware of these costs is the first step to creating a robust business plan, but experts like us who help erect multiple profitable medical practices can offer saving-savvy procedures to deal with hidden costs and help you achieve your financial objectives.
Medical professionals who rely on expert outsourced services and consultants have more time and energy to offer personable, compassionate patient care that sets them apart from other practices. With a reputable reputation, your practice can flourish.
Site Screen is more valuable than a comprehensive list on paper. We are real people with real experiences who enable you to avoid costly mistakes and handle time-consuming tasks. We will help you determine the timing and order in which certain tasks must happen and guide you through the process with our experience setting up medical practices in almost every healthcare specialty.
It is normal for our clients to have several questions or concerns about starting a medical practice. Here are some of our top questions — we are available to provide more information as needed.
The answer is an overwhelming yes — a private practice still works and will work tomorrow! We have the privilege of working together with more than 40,000 healthcare practitioners nationally, including over 800 private medical practices. Many of these physicians are experiencing tremendous success in private practice! Despite this truth, there seems to be a growing narrative that doctors can’t succeed in their own medical practice.
Even if private practice isn’t your thing, you should still pay attention. In negotiations, it’s well-known that you can only reach the point of your next best alternative, so sharing how successful you could be in private practice will serve you well.
More importantly, many of the tools we introduce are transferable to any small business owner structure — hospital, healthcare system, or supergroup. If appropriately implemented, our tools and solutions are designed to enable each healthcare provider to focus on patient care, enabling you to achieve mastery, increasing your autonomy, and making your career more fulfilling.

Physicians considering the acquisition of a medical practice should not assume it will be “low risk,” as many young doctors incorrectly believe. Nothing could be further from the truth.
You may not consider many additional concerns, such as the current EHR (electronic health record) system, credentialing process, health insurance, medical equipment age, payers, real estate, staffing, and more. We recommend speaking with an expert and completing a thorough analysis to ensure you and your practice partners comprehend the full undertaking. Taking this lightly can lead to feeling trapped with costly, messy surprises.

Any of these can be devastating financially and emotionally as well. With SiteScreen, you will be prepared for practice acquisition, and we will assist in helping you avoid these surprises.
