These stark numbers illustrate why traditional practice models are no longer sustainable. Independent physicians must explore innovative revenue streams while simultaneously improving patient care delivery. The solution lies in strategic diversification through ancillary services that align with your practice's core mission.

40%

In an era of rapid consolidation, where hospital systems and private equity firms aggressively acquire independent practices, ancillary services offer a path to maintaining autonomy while thriving financially.

Control Your Destiny: By diversifying revenue sources, you reduce independence on insurance reimbursements and external referral networks. This financial independence translates directly into clinical and operational autonomy.

Stengthen Your Position: Physicians and Practices with robust ancillary programs are more valuable, more stable, and better positioned to negotiate with payers. You gain leverage in a system that often works against independent providers.

Build Long-Term Value: Whether you plan to practice for decades or eventually transition ownership, integrated ancillary services significantly enhance practice value and attractiveness to potential successors.

Maintaining Your Independence

What Are Ancillary Services?

Ancillary services are supplemental healthcare offerings provided directly within your practice, at the point of care. These services complement your primary medical treatments and create a comprehensive care ecosystem under one roof.

Rather than referring patients elsewhere for medications, equipment, or follow up treatments, you provide these essential elements right from your office. This integration transforms the patient experience while creating new opportunities for practice growth.

Key Service Categories

• Physician Dispensing for immediate medication access

• Durable Medical Equipment (DME) including MedX Sales cutting-edge devices

• Laboratory Services for faster diagnostic results

• Imaging Services when appropriate for practice setting

• Value-Based Care Programs that reward quality outcomes

The Patient Care Advantage

Better Outcomes

Patients receive medications immediately during their visit and equipment is delivered right to their home, eliminating extra trips to pharmacies or DME stores. This one-stop approach respects patients time and reduces frustration.

Enhanced Convenience

Improved Compliance

When patients leave your office with prescriptions in hand, they're far more likely to begin treatment immediately. Studies show up to 30% higher medication adherence with in-office dispensing.

Direct oversight of the entire treatment process - form diagnosis through medication and equipment provision means you can monitor patient progress more effectively and intervene quickly when needed.

These benefits aren't just theoretical. Physicians and medical practices implementing ancillary services consistently report higher patient satisfaction scores, better treatment outcomes, and stronger doctor-patient relationships. When you control more of the care continuum, everyone wins.

Driving Practice Growth: Dispensing & DME Revenue

Beyond improved patient care, implementing in-office pharmaceutical dispensing and Durable Medical Equipment (DME) sales represents a significant opportunity to diversify and strengthen your practice's revenue streams. These specific services generate income at healthy margins while requiring minimal additional overhead or staffing.

Significant New Revenue Streams

Offering in-office pharmaceutical dispensing and DME directly can add 15-30% to your overall practice revenue, leveraging existing patient visits without proportional increases in costs or time investment.

Enhanced Operational Efficiency

By providing filled prescriptions and DME, you eliminate the need for external referrals and follow ups. This streamlines workflows, reduces administrative burden, and frees up staff time for higher-value activities and direct patient interaction.

Foundational for Sustainable Growth

The predictable income generated from in-office pharmaceutical dispensing and DME sales provides critical financial stability. This allows for strategic investments in advanced technology, facility upgrades, and ongoing team development, ensuring long-term practice growth.
