William F. Jessee, MD, FACMPE, president and CEO of the Medical Group Management Association, recently said, based on historical trends; medical groups likely would face a 4.5 percent increase in operating expenses over the next year.  With that kind of disparity between income and expenses, many physicians are hard-pressed to come up with the substantial investments required to automate and create additional streams of revenue, he said.

On a more positive note, physicians seeking to increase their pay have been successful when they have turned to new technologies or to in-office testing. EMR technologies have the potential to help physicians become more productive and to see more patients, all while decreasing the number of medical errors that give rise to liability insurance claims. Likewise, in-office tests are well reimbursed, and make thorough exams easy to perform while the patient waits in the office.
