I think this is a personal issue with regards to how many days. When I used to split two clinics, 3/2 was fine, alternating weeks.Sure. As long as you're fine with the middleman taking a fat cut out of the PC billed in your name.
You can't take good care of patients on site once a week. I cover 2 sites twice a week right now and even that's not sufficient with other docs there on other days. I think you need 3 days minimum same doc. That's why I've offered to do it as a temporary measure for local sites on my off day in case they literally have no other option (they always find somebody). But this is not a bridge. Bridge to what? You're talking about a perm solution. Patients deserve better.
But hey, the academic guys are SURE they are better at treating bone mets than we are and we are incapable of contouring head and neck or GI cases, so sure I'm sure they will be more than happy to spend their "academic days" doing remote work and smelling their own farts for an extra $100k/year. Yes, they will be happy to partner with Bridge and believe they are increasing quality. Makes me sad.
In the hell job I had, I was doing 3 and seeing consults at a 4th (as the managing doc). **** show.
