@Ducttape I would assume the ones getting “auth’ed” are actually “no auth required” and some of those pay and some of those don’t. No auth required but not a covered benefit.

I use TriVisc. But I bought 250 units over a year ago and just now I am on my last box. Just use it for Medicare only basically. Durolane might pencil out better at the moment last time I checked prices. You used to be able to make major money with visco but those days are over. Medicare...

I like the way you are analyzing this. I agree on focusing on repeat RF’s. That is the easiest way to do this. Knee visco under fluoro series of 3. You can make money on the j code if you buy a large amount of the product.

@gdub25 you would make more money with out dealing with ortho as a hospital employee

So you are ABA boarded anesthesiology and pain? You do realize that you can make probably $750k per year easy money working at any hospital in middle America? I just spent the weekend in Wichita, KS and it seemed like a fantastic city. Much more affluent than I expected.

No and no.

Yes.

These are the ones that I have on it for obesity. There are too many to count on it from their pcp or endo for diabetes.

I have about 40 patients on GLP-1’s.

You can put it all on a 60 month loan. Pretty cheap monthly after 20% down.

C arm/procedure table/rf generator are $100k

If you have space/walls up (15’ x 15’) then it costs about 100k in equipment and maybe $10k in refurbishing the space for in office. About $2500/month on a 60 month note.

Me and the other doctor were in office a total of 6 days last week and maybe 55 total injections were done.

I somewhat infer from his posts that he is doing a lot of direct injects in the ASC. I don’t think we are doing that many procedures in our office and we have myself and about 1/2 FTE physician.

350 procedures a month is a lot. It would be a ton of money in an office setting.
