For pediatricians launching independent practices.
Pediatric practice launches — solo, group, concierge peds, and integrated developmental-behavioral models.
The blueprint applies. The details shift.
Pediatric economics depend heavily on payer mix — specifically the Medicaid share. State Medicaid reimbursement rates for pediatrics vary dramatically and drive whether a market is viable for independent practice. Patient volume per FTE is higher than most specialties.
Phase-by-phase shifts.
State Medicaid pediatric rates are the single biggest economic input — model with your state's actual fee schedule, not averages.
