pa2007 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 What is the average # of pts seen daily in a family practice setting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemegroup Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Generally around 25, for me (the other PA takes about the same amount of patients on their side). Sometimes less, sometimes more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCMA79 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Depends on the practice. The HMOs like Kaiser seem to really push their PAs. Some of the large groups like Molina can expect you to see large numbers and then there are the out and out MediCal mills. But after all is said and done seeing 25-30/day is probably avg.

Administrator rev ronin Posted March 6, 2013 Administrator Share Posted March 6, 2013 I see about 14, but I also have medical home stuff to do--telephone, email, etc.--and I only code a 99212 about once a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't have you on 15-20 min appointments yet?...they are known for that....lots of folks who work for them are seeing 24-32...and the medical home stuff gets done during the unpaid lunch and before and after work off the clock....

Moderator ventana Posted March 6, 2013 Moderator Share Posted March 6, 2013 30 a day 8:30 - 5:30 with 50min lunch - 30min break 20 min charting I do more urgent care - sometimes easier, sometimes harder - ie work up mass, bleed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medical home model is 14 a day with up to 2 overbooks, so I'm at "full productivity", at least as far as they're telling me now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I either usually stay an hour after or come an hour before. I get paid well, so I don't mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbrsmurf Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 10-20/day, which is nice for me since it's my first year out of school interviewing at a place that averages 28 pts/day, so I am a little scared about that -- don't know if I'm ready!

deborah212 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Medical home model is 14 a day with up to 2 overbooks, so I'm at "full productivity", at least as far as they're telling me now. I'm not in CA; rather MA and also in a medical home. 14/day is right on target for me as well. 16 if super busy. Even with these low numbers, I'm charting through lunch at my desk and come in early/leave late/work from home. It would be impossible to see 20-30 in this model because of both the complexity of our population and work generated both during visit and after. For instance, we screen everyone at every visit for depression and domestic violence. If you ask these questions, you have to follow-up on the answers. So an easy UTI visit could/has easily turn into UTI, and I'm also being abused/suicidal/depressed. Hopefully healthcare in the future will compensate based on quality metrics like HgA1c, blood pressure, and ED usage, which is where we strive, as opposed to fee for service.

Moderator EMEDPA Posted March 6, 2013 Moderator Share Posted March 6, 2013 the practice I am talking about involves a lot of disability paperwork and rx refills for probably 40-50% of all visits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pa2007 Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 I went in for several job interviews and they're asking the PA to see 45-50 pts per day in family practice setting (mostly Peds). Not a good working environment... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a good working environment... It sounds like a Medi-Cal (Medicaid) mill. Run!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joelseff Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I see 12-15 daily but most of my pts are 99214's. If all were 13s I could prob handle 20-25. Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
