Re: [ACEsthetics] How do you account for patients you refer out to specialists

Well…lets do some numbers.  In an 8 hour day the average endo can do 6-8 RCTs (I know Guy…not Stropko endo just the average endo).  So for one day a week at $1k/tooth (conservative) that is at worst $24k per month or $288k per year.  What person in their right mind wouldn't spend 20k on a scope to collect $24k per month in perpetuity?  :]

JIf he bought a scope just to leave at your office, he's lying a bit.  You don't buy a 20k dollar piece of equipment to sit for four days.  He must have one at his office on its last leg.  Now I'd have to buy one to leave at your office because I couldn't carry the scope in.  I'd buy a base but not the entire scope.  You can only get in about four or five endos in a day if they are molars and unless your fees are 2 grand a molar it isn't worth leaving one.  Jerking the chain of one of my favorite people.

Partner does wisdom teeth and some implants. Our resident periodontist does more implants and perio surgery. The endodontist works every Saturday (he bought a microscsope just to leave at our office), so there really is very little we refer out. Pediatric ortho - yep.

I know Marvin doesn't refer, but I also know you don't do anything involving tooth dust or blood, and your partner can't do everything, Kent! Implants, endodontics on troublesome patients, wisdom teeth- you know!

Referrals? What are referrals? I asked Marvin, and he had this puzzled look on his face, so I thought I would ask the group. Hey Dilatush, do you want us putting info on doctors not in our practice in our next mailer too? :-)

I am wanting to develop a form where I can know what happened with each patient I refer out to a specialist- surgeon, implant guy, endodontist, periodontist.
 
I fear the "black hole" syndrome, where you really don't know what happened with your folks, and sure, I can go look in practiceworks at a particular patient, but what if I don't remember that patient's name?
 
How do you handle this?
