Imagine a physician performs a mole removal procedure in the office. If the cost of supplies needed for that procedure is $100 and the reimbursement for the procedure is $1,000, the mole removal procedure seems profitable

However, what if the procedure takes more than an hour to perform, and the same physician could render four standard office visits during that hour and be reimbursed $1,200 (with no costs for supplies)?
