#48: The Simple Math Behind Private Practice Revenue

How much revenue can a private practice actually generate?

In this episode, I break down the simple equation behind private practice revenue and show how the math works in both insurance-based and cash-pay practices.

We’ll talk about how revenue ultimately comes down to two numbers:
the number of patients you see and the revenue you generate per patient.

Once you understand that formula, it becomes much easier to model what your future practice could look like.

If you’re planning a private practice and want help running the numbers, I walk through this exercise step-by-step inside my Plan to Practice digital course, where you can plug in your own assumptions and explore different revenue scenarios.
