For orthopedic surgeons launching independent or group practices.
Orthopedic practice launches — solo, group, and integrated ortho/PT models.
The blueprint applies. The details shift.
Orthopedic launches have higher capital requirements than most specialties due to imaging and procedure equipment. Payer mix and surgical reimbursement dynamics drive economics. Hospital privilege coordination is non-optional.
Phase-by-phase shifts.
Capital planning for imaging (X-ray minimum; MRI if you're building ancillary revenue) and procedure equipment changes the pro forma materially.
See the full Phase 02 guide →Hospital privileging is a separate process from payer credentialing and starts later but must be done. Workers compensation panel relationships matter especially.
See the full Phase 04 guide →EHR + PACS integration becomes important — pick systems that work together cleanly.
See the full Phase 05 guide →Ancillary revenue (in-office imaging, PT, DME, ASC ownership) is where orthopedic practices typically build their longer-term economics.
See the full Phase 07 guide →Start with the phase that matches where you are.
