Case Studies
Following are some examples of how ExtraMD has helped practices:
A physician was called to military duty in Iraq, and used an ExtraMD physician. The practice’s patients met the new physician and soon warmed to her. The practice followed her billings carefully and noted that at 14 patients per day, the practice broke even. The “extra” physician’s costs were covered as well as her portion of the overhead. She saw on average of 18-20 patients per day and the practice made money.
A physician office had one of the partners become gravely ill. ExtraMD was called to fill in until the situation was stabilized and a suitable permanent physician could be found. The patients and office staff loved the “extra” physician, and he helped mitigate a potentially disastrous situation for all involved.
A well known hospitalist group in the Denver area needed vacation coverage over the summer, and used an ExtraMD physician. She was able to step in for several weeks at a time while physicians enjoyed a well-earned vacation. ExtraMD physicians maintain hospital priveleges to accomodate hospitals groups that use ExtraMD physicians frequently.
A solo practitioner wanted to take her first vacation in four years. She had heard of ExtraMD and called. She came back rested from her three week vacation with a clear desk, happy and healthy patients, and a content office staff.
