CTGPAC Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Getting some advice from my state APA that legally it sounds more kosher to refer to my House Calls business as a "Service" rather than "practice". Any thoughts about this? I am hatching a business: providing a " service to Doctors" So, marketing to them. Huge interest so far whom ever i approach. = Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChathamPA Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Which state are you in? I looked into doing something like this in Pennsylvania but ran into way too many road blocks Live by it- http://www.physicianassistantstudyguide.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KpsPac Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 In my experience, the physicians are not very open. But, marketing it as a 'service' is good. I have a house call practice, and every doc I speak to behaves disinterested, even get a far away look in the eye. (I'm not kidding!!) Hospitals are always looking for 'transitional care'. Just to get a foot in the door! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator ventana Posted November 8, 2015 Moderator Share Posted November 8, 2015 In MASS my PRACTICE is a state PROFESIONAL CORP It is a PRACTICE - it is not a SERVICE Don't bow to those that are trying to make you sound LESS then you are......

KpsPac Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Believe me, I am not one to downplay my role as a competent provider. But, if there is one thing I've learned in life, you can use what you have and still stay true to yourself. I've lost positions because I knew I was 'right', and stuck to my guns. It didn't feed my family. You are right. I PRACTICE. You practice. We, PAs practice. But, within the practice, we are offering services. Which is what we bill for....it's all semantics. Right?
