This guidebook addresses the three major financial centers in every physician's life--the medical practice, the pension plan, and personal finances. Listing cases and examples, the author addresses these three interrelated financial centers in a two-phase process: how to conduct practice management review and then how to use this process to establish an ongoing system for successful total financial management. Plus, the second edition has new material on capitation, integrated delivery systems, mergers & acquisitions and practice valuation, pensions, and dealing with managed care companies.
