Hatari, I don't know exactly, but my assumption is roughly 10 hour shift x 3 patients/hour x 4 day work week = 120 patients/week (50 weeks/year).
So, 6k/week treating 120 patients costs $50.00/patient.
Of course, you could force the patients to cough up $30.00/visit or so to pay for overhead.
just to re-state my real world experience, i went on medicare when turned 65. added a medicare advantage acct. could have gone with either blue cross or united health care. so that's the second bill of insurance i'm buying. when i see my GP, she collects 25 dollars each trip co-pay. if a specialist in the same network, it's 30 dollars co-pay. each trip of course. and then some prescription drugs are free, and many are not free by any means.
so, with insurance, medical care is still not cheap eactly. and everyone of the players claim they're barely breaking even. i know better than that about big pharma.
