Occupational Medicine-
The Perfect Partner for Urgent Care
Occupational medicine can be the financial engine of your urgent care practice. In a time of economic stress and rising healthcare costs, adding occupational medicine services will drive your visibility and profitability. Through occupational medicine services you help employers in your community manage their greatest resource – human capital while increasing the chance for financial success for both the employer and your urgent care clinic.
Employers are desperately seeking a cost and quality conscious partner to protect their employees. You can provide these essential services by building on your existing urgent care clinic skills, location and staff. Occupational health services can be incorporated into an urgent care clinic include work-related injury/illness treatment, drug and alcohol testing, pre-placement and other types of screening exams and immunizations.
Occupational Medicine sales and marketing is unique. Urgent Care is consumer driven; Occupational Medicine is relationship driven. The energy and drive of the urgent care entrepreneur is the perfect match for establishing and maintaining the relationships that are necessary to obtain and maintain occupational medicine client companies.
With the addition of occupational medicine services you may increase slightly the initial investment that you will make in your startup urgent care center. Adding the occupational medicine services can positively impact your urgent care clinic in three ways:
-
Revenue Builder. Workers compensation is regulated by each state with many states having fee schedules. Consequently, payments are often prompt and required by state statue. Even five daily occupational medicine visits can get you to financial break even six months earlier than without the service.
-
Marketing Tool. Satisfied occupational medicine patients and their employers will refer family and friends for non work-related care. You will experience larger community exposure to your clinic.
-
Cost Savings. No needs for significant additional equipment or staff as you start your occupational medicine service line. Cost savings will also be realized as your occupational medicine clients start referring employees to you for urgent care needs – that referral is the best marketing tool – and at no cost!
