Value of Ancillary Services
I believe that only about one-fifth of doctors have recently started providing ancillary services.
But as the squeeze on physicians’ reimbursements continues, interest in ancillary services has been increasing and interest varies widely by specialty. PCPs, in particular, have a wide range of ancillary services to choose from. Family physicians listed medication dispensing, weight-loss services, in-office diagnostic tests, nutrition counseling, cosmetic services, and alternative treatments such as acupuncture and massage.
