WHY JOIN A GROUP PRACTICE (WHEN YOU COULD START YOUR OWN)?
Deciding whether joining a group or starting a solo practice is a valuable discernment process. At first, it can look like going into solo practice is the best way to make more money and that only paying clinicians a percentage of the fees collected is how group practice owners make their own salary.
When working as a solo practitioner, the clinician has to invest more non-clinical (“overhead”) hours and a higher percentage of income to overhead and administrative fees. These include:
-
EHR Subscription
-
Liability Insurance
-
Phone Service
-
HIPAA compliant email platform
-
VPN Subscription
-
Website Hosting
-
Marketing & SEO (via service or DIY hours)
-
Insurance Credentialing (via service or DIY hours)
-
Therapist Directory subscriptions
-
Legal Services
-
Rent
-
Renter’s insurance
-
Utilities (Energy & Internet) & Maintenance Fees
-
Office Furnishing & Supplies
As a solo practitioner, the tax rate is also higher:
self-employment tax is 15.3% on all income.
The benefit of a group practice is that when we do the full math, the employee has a higher hourly rate (than the solo practitioner) due to having significantly fewer overhead hours. The tax rate is also lower since it is split with the employer. And because the profit margin of a larger group is greater than a solo practice, much of this additional revenue is channeled back to the employees through non-taxed benefits like paid time off, CEU stipends, retirement matching, and directory reimbursement.
ADDITIONAL BENEFITS OF WORKING AT B’WELL

Gain a learning environment experience that provides education and support to the clinician group & individual supervision

-
Access our shared client resources, clinical trainings, and community offerings hosted by B’well
