🏥 Can private practice make a comeback in 2027? I think it can.

Insurance company headwinds, declining reimbursements, and rising overhead have made owning a medical practice challenging at times 🤯.

But private practice doesn’t have to survive on insurance reimbursement alone ❌

💼 Medical-legal work
🤝 Consulting for companies
📦 Selling your own products
🏥 Ownership in a surgery center
⭐ Concierge or membership-based services

And now, AI could completely change the economics of running a practice. 🤖

AI can potentially make running your own practice a fraction of the cost by reducing the amount of office staff needed and helping:

📞 Answer phones
📅 Schedule appointments
📝 Complete notes and documentation
💰 Assist with coding and billing
⚙️ Automate repetitive administrative work

The goal isn’t to replace the human side of medicine. It’s to eliminate enough of the administrative burden that physicians can actually afford to own and control their practices again.

I’d love to see 2027 become the year we bring private practice back. 👨‍⚕️🏥

💪 More physician ownership. More autonomy. More control over how we take care of our patients.

I’m also happy to provide formal consulting services for physicians who want more in-depth, personalized guidance on building and growing their own practice.
