Why might a physician choose to practice in a limited liability partnership as opposed to a group practice? What are some of the advantages, as well as drawbacks, of operating a retail clinic?
What will be an ideal response?
A physician might choose to practice in a limited liability partnership in order to protect his or her assets from liability in the event a partner were to be sued for medical malpractice. A retail clinic has the advantage of being cash-based, which means the clinic owners do not need to wait for insurance reimbursement. A big disadvantage is that these clinics do not typically make appointments, and are therefore busy at times, and not busy at others.
