When it comes to physicians opening and keeping a private office, it can often be difficult. While this is the case, there are now more independent medical practice resources available than ever before in the history of medicine. Still, there are also more doctors working in clinics and hospitals than in the private sector.
Due to a number of practices having been taken over by equity firms and hospitals, private practices across the country are facing conditions which can only be labeled as critical. For, the doctors whom worked so hard to open these private practice locations often become employees of the clinics and hospitals which acquired the practice. As such, it is a trend which is neither beneficial or healthy for clients or those working in the field of health care.
When this happens, studies have shown that health care quality often goes down while prices go up. Whereas, access to care can be limited or lost, thus leaving communities more vulnerable to disease and sickness and doctors less satisfied. For, while some may be left sick and dying, others will not be able to acquire vaccinations to prevent getting sick in the future.
Studies by the group have shown that consolidation of health care providers has also resulted in a price increase of 20% to 40% in American Health Care Insurance premiums. In a country where many individuals can not afford health care, even through the Affordable Care Act created during the Obama administration, the association sees this as unacceptable.
AID is a national 503(c) non-profit trade association. The group was formed to raise awareness in regard to the negative impact this practice has on the American health care system. If fact, more than one author and those in the medical community have suggested that these acquisitions and consolidations have only complicated rather than eliminated issues in the field.
The association was created by two certified public accountants in 2013 whom were frustrated with the trend. After which, the association has provided a voice for doctors, medical staff and others negatively impacted whom previously had no collective voice. In addition, the association is taking to steps to slow, if not stop the trend as soon as possible.
Doctors, clients and others can discover more about AID, along with the resources and services provided by visiting the organization's website. In addition, there are a number of videos which have been placed on the site to inform individuals on steps necessary to help slow, if not stop these take overs. After which, the organization hopes new graduates as well as those whom have become employees of clinics and hospitals can either open or return to the private practice sector.
Ultimately, these take overs are destroying the American health care system which is already ailing due to the cost of high premiums, out-of-reach prescription costs and a lack of medical staff, clinics and hospitals. In order to promote better health care in the future, doctors and the American people need to stand up to hospitals and private equity groups whom are causing these and other issues.
