So you’re thinking about starting your own outpatient medical practice.

You probably have many good reasons to open a private practice. Private practices can be lucrative, although it requires you to spend time building relationships with patients while also attending to all business processes that are part of running your practice .

Maybe you want more autonomy over your practice and your workflow. Or maybe you hope to expand your services to underserved areas or specific populations based on your expertise.

If you’re thinking about starting an outpatient medical practice, one of the first things you should do is write a business plan. Even if you’re able to self-fund your practice and don’t need outside investment, your business plan is a great tool for thinking through all the different aspects of building a profitable and sustainable practice.

You should go into this thinking about your business plan as a living document, not something you do once and then file away forever. Use it as a tool, especially around your financials. Revisit and update it regularly by comparing your forecasts to your actuals and adjusting as necessary.

To help you get started, you can download our free business plan template . If you’ve never written a business plan before, Bplans also offers a library of sample medical business plans that you can review or even download to use as a model.

  • Executive summary

The first section that will appear in your business plan is the executive summary . But before you dive right in, it’s the section of your plan that you should actually write last. It’s a summary and an overview of your outpatient medical practice and your plans, so it will be easy to put together after you’ve written the rest of your plan.  

Executive summaries are short—keep it to one to two pages. Keep in mind that if you’re using your plan to get funding, investors and banks tend to read your executive summary to get a sense of whether to read on and consider your request. Do not neglect it; just write it last.

Your executive summary will include the following sections:

  • Who you are: Your business name, location, and contact information.  
  • What you offer and the problem your business solves: What does your practice offer and why is it needed? This is your value proposition .
  • Target market: Who is your ideal patient? Do they self-pay or use insurance? Be specific.
  • Competition: Who else is offering similar services?
  • Team: Who is on your management team?
  • Financial summary: Explain your business model, startup costs, revenues, and liabilities to the company. Mention your funding needs.
  • Milestones and traction: How have you validated that there’s a need for your practice in your location?

Position your practice’s business opportunity

Now that you’re familiar with what’s included in your executive summary, tuck that information away, and get to work on the rest of your plan.

Think of the next few sections of your plan as the overarching description of your practice’s business opportunity. You’ll cover the problem you’ve identified and the solution that your practice offers. Then you’ll think through your ideal customer , your competition , and your opportunities for growth . This section area should describe the services you provide and how they benefit your patients.

  • Problem and solution

First, describe the problem that you’ve identified and how your practice solves that problem. Here’s a brief example:

The problem : There is a lack of affordable pediatric and gynecological care available in coastal areas of Lane County, Oregon. Many patients have to travel miles to the closest practice.  

The solution : Dr. Gardner plans to open Ocean Lane Outpatient Care to serve smaller Oregon coastal communities scattered outside of major towns with major hospitals. Due to her focus on pediatric and gynecological care, Dr. Gardner’s particular services are especially valuable in this location due to the lack of available service providers in the area. Dr. Gardner’s practice will accept private insurance and Medicaid, as well as a sliding scale for patients in a certain income bracket.   

The services section identifies what kind of medical practice you are opening. Restate who your practice serves and what kind of services you specialize in. Talk about how your practice approaches treatment and what goals you have in addition to providing quality care. Here’s an example from a sample business plan for a medical practice.

Include a breakdown of all services furnished by the clinic, being as granular as possible. For example:

Gynecology:

  • Annual women’s wellness exam

Pediatrics:

  • Immunizations
  • Youth eating disorder treatment
  • Target market

Next, talk about your ideal patients. If you’re in the earliest stages, you’ll want to do some research that verifies your hypotheses.

For example, Dr. Gardner would have needed to verify her assumption that people in coastal towns in Oregon are in need of pediatric and gynecological services—a need that isn’t currently satisfied by available resources.

A formal market analysis can help verify that there’s a need for your particular practice in your intended location.  

Your target market section should include:

  • TAM, SAM, and SOM: Total Available Market (TAM), Segment of the Available Market (SAM), Share of the Market (SOM). Here, you are looking at the difference between targeting everyone: TAM (all people who need medical care—so all humans in your area), versus your ideal clients: SAM (maybe this is those with certain insurance or ability to self-pay), versus the number of new patients you think you can realistically reach: SOM, especially within your first few years. The idea is that not everyone will be an ideal patient. It matters because you can waste a lot of money with marketing outreach to everyone, instead of targeting a specific population that is more likely to be looking for your services.
  • Buyer persona : Imagine there’s one specific patient who represents your ideal patient. Be specific. Maybe she’s 34 years old, has private insurance, is relatively healthy, but needs more regular medical care and advice.  
  • Competition and competition matrix : List competitors and analyze what makes them competitive. For instance, your competitors might be large hospitals because of the wide range of services they offer. You might also be competing with local chiropractors or other alternative medicine practices that already have a foothold in local communities.
  • Future products and services : Name the products/services you will offer as your practice grows and earns more money and as your patients develop new needs. Maybe you will want to open a second location when you gain enough patients. Or maybe you will want to extend your practice’s hours of operation.

Ideal patient profile

Your ideal patient profile identifies the type of patient whom you hope to attract and retain. To clarify, this does not mean you only serve your ideal patient type. Rather, focusing your outreach efforts on attracting your ideal patient will allow you to grow your practice more effectively than targeting a large number of patients who may or may not be in the market for your practice’s specialty.

When developing your ideal patient profile, consider:

  • Who you enjoy working with
  • Who needs the services you provide
  • Who can and will pay your pricing (or have an insurance plan that you want to accept)

For instance, because Dr. Gardner specializes in preventive and curative care, a patient seeking palliative treatment for terminal cancer is not the ideal patient. This patient would not receive the best care for their needs from Dr. Gardner’s services.

Acquiring a new patient is six to seven times more expensive than retaining a current patient. In order to support and retain current patients, develop a strategy to proactively meet their needs and set benchmarks to measure the success of your strategy.

  • Execution: How your practice will respond to the opportunity

First, your business plan laid out the opportunity at hand. Now, the rest of your plan will focus on how to take advantage of that opportunity. Now is the time to lay out what you’ll do to attract patients and set up a viable business model with healthy financials.

Components of this section include:

  • Your marketing and sales plan
  • Strategic partnerships or alliances
  • Your operations plan
  • Your team and company information
  • Financial plan
  • Milestones and metrics that you’ll need to hit to be viable
  • Your key assumptions and risks
  • Your funding ask and exit strategy, if applicable
  • Marketing and sales plan

The marketing and sales component of your plan should include how you plan to reach the patients in your target market, how you’ll bill for your services, and what you need to do to bring in the right number and type of patients.

  • Positioning : Describe how you will present your company to your customers with your positioning statement . Think about answering these questions: What are you offering your patients that they can’t get elsewhere? Why should they pick you instead of another practice? Where do you see yourself in the competitive landscape? Use this model to help:

“For [target market description] who [target market need], [how our business offering meets the need]. Unlike [key competition], it [most distinguishing feature].”

For [coastal community members] who [require gynecological care], Ocean Lane Outpatient Care [provides both pediatric and women’s health services]. Unlike [other area medical practices], Ocean Lane Outpatient Care is [conveniently located near the communities it serves and can fill the gap between pure pediatric care and full-blown adult care for young women].

  • Pricing and billing : Medical pricing is complex, especially if you plan to work with insurance companies. Practice Builders says that “a 10 percent increase in pricing can result in a much better return than a 10 percent reduction in costs—or even a 10 percent increase in patient volume.”

Make sure you price your services at what they are worth and explain your pricing to your patients. Consider the demographics your practice serves when you choose your pricing. Research other practices in the area and learn more   about how you can choose the best prices for your patients and your practice.Also, consider how you will get patients to keep coming back to your practice. Sometimes you can increase sales by upselling and cross-selling , or offering complementary services.

If you accept insurance, the contracts you set up with insurance companies for reimbursement will probably dictate your pricing, so this is a good place to talk about your negotiation strategy as well.

  • Update your website and social media frequently and ensure your website is mobile-friendly and share-friendly with credible links added.
  • Make sure all communications with and about patients are HIPAA-compliant . Download a HIPAA Compliance Guide to ensure you are following regulations.
  • Maintain a positive online reputation for your practice as a key management technique. You can do this by claiming your profile on any third-party sites that list it. Encourage your patients to review you online, too.
  • Strategic alliances : List any people or organizations with whom you are working. You will most likely need to partner with a regional lab for medical testing. Opening an on-site lab can be costly for a smaller practice. You will most likely need to partner with a nearby hospital as part of a referral system or to share select services and equipment.

The operations section of your business plan covers how your business works, from the logistics to the technology.

  • Technology: Describe how your technology works, but do not go into too much detail. Investors can ask for more information if they want to. Will you rent or buy equipment ? The technology you need ranges from simple items like thermometers to more complex items like centrifuges.
  • Billing and information storage: Provide a brief overview of how you will manage information technology and patient records to promote safety, efficiency, and compliance with HIPPA  regulations and industry standards. Explain your usage of Electronic Medical Record (EMR) software in this section.
  • Payment types you accept: Consider payment types such as private pay, private insurance, Medicaid/Medicare, etc. What kind of referrals can you offer to the uninsured or those who cannot afford your services?
  • Milestones and metrics

In this part of your plan, you set measurable, achievable milestones, such as the number of new patients added per month in the first year of operations. Milestones can be about any aspect of your medical practice as long as they emphasize growth. For metrics , decide which numbers to check regularly to track your company’s health. This area should also include information about traction (past successes) and risks:

  • Traction: Look back at major milestones you have achieved. Hopefully, they demonstrate that your business model works and that you are filling a need for your market. If you’re looking to attract private funders, this section is important since it shows your initial success .
  • Key assumptions and risks : Acknowledge the assumptions you are basing your business on. Set out to prove them right if you can. Also, discuss risks so that investors know you have considered what could go wrong and that you have a plan for dealing with challenges. Malpractice suits and changing healthcare regulations are risks specific to the healthcare field. Malpractice insurance is a must for addressing the former. Changing healthcare regulations can affect the volume of patients who are able to afford your services.

Your team can be more important than your product or service. Describe your team here, even if it is just you and a receptionist who answers the phone in your office building.

  • Management team and qualifications: Address who works for you, what do they do, and how much you pay them. Compile the details of their relevant experience and education.
  • Hiring plans : Outline who, if anyone, you need to hire to fill skills gaps in your management team and how much you plan to pay them.
  • Company overview

The company overview tells about who you and your staff are and appeals to potential investors. Keep it short—it should be the shortest chapter of your business plan but is still very important.

It needs to include these elements:

  • Mission statement : Your mission statement articulates your goals for what your company does for its customers, employees, and owners. It will read something like this: “Our mission is to provide X (services) for Y (customers) by Z (methods).” For instance, Ocean Lane Outpatient Care is dedicated to providing quality care for all the inhabitants of coastal Lane County by providing affordable and versatile services.”
  • Intellectual property : List any patents you have or have pending, and mention any core technology you are licensing from another company.
  • Legal structure and ownership : Explain your business structure and who owns how much of it. More on considerations for physicians and legal structure here.
  • Business location : Describe the company’s location and any facilities it owns.
  • Company history if it’s an existing company

Having a solid financial plan is critical, whether you’re seeking funding or not.  A typical financial plan includes projections by month for the first year and annual projection for the next three to five.

Include these key elements:

  • Profit and loss statement : this explains how your business made a profit or incurred a loss in a given amount of time (typically three months) by listing all revenue and expenses, then documenting the total amount of net profit or loss.
  • Cash flow statement: documentation of how much cash the business brought in, how much it paid out, and the amount of its ending cash balance (on a monthly basis).
  • Balance sheet : snapshots how your company is performing at a given moment by including how much money you have in the bank, how much your customers owe you, and how much you owe your vendors.
  • Sales forecast : projections of what you think you will sell in a given timeframe (one to three years).
  • Business ratios : Comparisons of your company’s financials with numbers from the industry profile.
  • Keep it brief. For example, Dr. Gardner will employ administrative aides and nurses.
  • Use of funds : Needed if you’re seeking investment or a loan. This section explains how you will use investors’ money.
  • Exit strategy : You only need this if you’re seeking outside investment. An exit strategy is a method by which entrepreneurs and investors, especially those that have invested large sums of money, transfer ownership of their business to a third party to recoup money invested in the business. Common exit strategies include being acquired by another company, the sale of equity, or a management or employee buyout.

When writing your financial plan, make sure to consider startup costs . For a medical practice, average startup costs can include initial fees, malpractice insurance, cost of renting or leasing office space, and the cost of any legal or tax advisors.

Consider submitting your plan to at least five to 10 banks if you need help financing your startup costs. Many banks have divisions designated to providing loans to new dental and medical practices , so submit your plan to that division if you can. Startup costs can be high in the medical field, so make sure not to underestimate them.

Finally, your appendix is the holder for any supporting information such as charts, images, graphs, and more. If you need to include large sets of data or pages of information, put it here. That way, it is available but does not distract from the plan’s most important pieces.

For instance, you can expand on your personnel plan with charts of each employee’s annual insurance costs. You can also include versions of your profit and loss statements and other financials that extend further into the future.

Don’t forget to go back to your executive summary! Remember to keep it brief and write it based on what you have written already.

Market research is a crucial step when starting a primary care clinic as it provides valuable insights into the demand for healthcare services, the target audience, and potential competitors in the area. By conducting comprehensive market research, you can make informed decisions and develop a business strategy that positions your clinic for success.

When conducting market research for your primary care clinic, consider the following:

  • Demographics: Analyze the demographics of the area where you plan to establish your clinic. Look at factors such as age, income level, and insurance coverage. This information will help you understand the needs and preferences of your potential patients.
  • Healthcare Demand: Assess the demand for primary care services in the target market. Look at population growth, general health status, and the availability of other healthcare providers. Understanding the demand will help you determine the potential patient volume and adjust your services accordingly.
  • Competitor Analysis: Identify existing primary care clinics and healthcare providers in the area. Evaluate their services, pricing, reputation, and patient satisfaction. This analysis will help you identify gaps in the market and differentiate your clinic from competitors.
  • Industry Trends: Stay updated on the latest trends in the healthcare industry, including technological advancements and changes in regulations. This knowledge will help you adapt your business plan and ensure your clinic remains competitive.

Tips for conducting effective market research:

  • Utilize online resources, such as government databases, industry reports, and healthcare data sources, to gather reliable information.
  • Consider conducting surveys or focus groups to gather insights directly from potential patients or healthcare professionals.
  • Network with local healthcare organizations and professionals to gain a deeper understanding of the market and potential collaborations.
  • Stay updated on emerging healthcare technologies and innovations that could impact primary care services.

Define The Target Market

Defining the target market for your primary care clinic is crucial for creating a successful business plan. Understanding who your ideal patients are will help you tailor your services and marketing efforts to meet their specific needs. Here are some important steps to follow:

  • Conduct thorough market research to identify demographics and characteristics of your potential target market.
  • Segment your target market: Divide your potential patients into specific groups based on factors such as age, gender, location, and health conditions.
  • Identify the primary needs and preferences: Determine what healthcare services or specialties your target market requires the most and what factors influence their decision-making process.
  • Assess the size and growth potential: Analyze the size of your target market and its expected growth over time to gauge the viability of your clinic.
  • Consider collaborating with local healthcare providers or institutions to gather valuable insights about the target market in your area.
  • Look for gaps or underserved areas in the healthcare market that your clinic can fill.
  • Stay updated with industry publications and reports to monitor changes and trends in the healthcare landscape that might affect your target market.

By clearly defining your target market, you can tailor your services, marketing strategies, and patient experience to attract and retain your ideal patients. This will position your primary care clinic for long-term success and growth.

Identify Potential Competitors

When starting a primary care clinic, it is crucial to identify potential competitors in your local area. Understanding the competitive landscape will help you assess market demand and make informed decisions about your clinic's positioning and services.

Here are some steps you can follow to identify potential competitors:

  • Research Local Healthcare Providers: Start by researching other primary care clinics in your area. Look for clinics that offer similar services and have a strong presence in the community.
  • Check Hospital Affiliations: Explore hospitals in your area and look for clinics or healthcare practices that are affiliated with them. These affiliated clinics might also be your potential competitors.
  • Consider Specialty Clinics: Apart from primary care clinics, also consider specialty clinics that may overlap with your services, such as urgent care centers or pediatric clinics. They might attract some of your potential patients.
  • Review Online Directories: Utilize online directories like Google Maps, Yelp, or healthcare-specific search engines to identify clinics and healthcare providers near your desired location. These platforms often provide insights into the services offered by each provider.
  • Visit Competitor Websites: Explore the websites of your potential competitors to gather more information about their services, pricing, and patient testimonials.
  • Observe Customer Reviews: Read customer reviews on platforms like Google or Yelp to understand how your potential competitors are perceived by patients.
  • Consider Geographic Factors: Take into account the distance between your clinic and potential competitors. Patients tend to prefer healthcare providers that are conveniently located.
  • Assess Reputation: Pay attention to the reputation and credibility of potential competitors. Providers with a strong reputation could pose a challenge in acquiring patients.

By identifying potential competitors, you can gain valuable insights into the local healthcare landscape. This knowledge will enable you to develop strategies that differentiate your primary care clinic and attract patients in a competitive market.

Analyze Industry Trends and Regulations

When starting a primary care clinic, it is vital to stay up-to-date with the latest industry trends and regulations. This step will help you understand the current landscape and ensure that your clinic is compliant with all applicable laws and regulations.

Here are some important aspects to consider:

  • Healthcare policies and legislation: Familiarize yourself with federal, state, and local laws that govern the healthcare industry. Stay updated on any changes or proposed regulations that may impact primary care clinics.
  • Healthcare reimbursement: Understand the reimbursement systems and methods used by insurance companies and government programs. This knowledge will help you develop a financial plan and estimate the potential revenue streams for your clinic.
  • Technology advancements: Keep an eye on technological advancements and innovations in the healthcare industry. Implementing the latest technologies can improve efficiency, patient experience, and overall clinic operations.
  • Population health: Recognize the trends and challenges specific to the patient population you intend to serve. This knowledge will assist in tailoring your services to meet the unique needs of your target market.
  • Quality standards and best practices: Identify the industry benchmarks and guidelines for primary care clinics. Adhering to these standards will contribute to the credibility, reputation, and reliability of your clinic.
  • Telehealth and virtual care: Consider the increasing demand for telehealth services and explore the regulations and reimbursement policies associated with these virtual care options. Integrating telehealth into your clinic's services can enhance access and convenience for patients.
  • Subscribe to industry publications and journals to stay informed about the latest trends, research, and policy changes.
  • Attend conferences, webinars, and networking events to connect with experts and peers in the healthcare industry, which can provide invaluable insights.
  • Collaborate with legal advisors and healthcare consultants who specialize in healthcare regulations to ensure compliance from the outset.
  • Regularly review and update your clinic's policies and procedures to adapt to evolving industry trends and regulations.

By thoroughly analyzing industry trends and regulations, you will have a solid foundation for developing a business plan that aligns with the current healthcare landscape. This knowledge will help guide your decision-making process and mitigate potential risks, positioning your primary care clinic for long-term success.

Determine the Clinic's Unique Value Proposition

In order to differentiate your primary care clinic from competitors and attract patients, it is crucial to determine and clearly articulate your unique value proposition. This is what sets your clinic apart and convinces potential patients that your services are worth choosing over others in the market.

When defining your clinic's unique value proposition, consider the following:

  • Identify the specific needs and preferences of your target market: Understanding your target market's pain points and preferences will help you tailor your value proposition to address those needs effectively.
  • Highlight the clinic's key strengths and competitive advantages: Assess your clinic's strengths, such as the qualifications and expertise of your medical staff, state-of-the-art equipment, or convenient location. These attributes can be compelling selling points for potential patients.
  • Showcase the clinic's unique services or treatment approaches: If your clinic offers specialized services or innovative treatment approaches that are not commonly available in the area, this can be a significant part of your value proposition.
  • Emphasize the clinic's commitment to patient-centered care: Many patients value personalized and compassionate care. Highlight your clinic's commitment to providing individualized attention, short wait times, and building strong doctor-patient relationships.

Tips for crafting an impactful unique value proposition:

  • Research your competitors to identify gaps in the market that your clinic can fill.
  • Clearly communicate the benefits and advantages patients can expect from choosing your clinic.
  • Validate your value proposition by gathering feedback from existing patients and incorporating their testimonials into your marketing materials.
  • Continuously refine and update your value proposition as market dynamics and patient needs evolve.

By determining and effectively communicating your clinic's unique value proposition, you will be able to attract and retain patients who appreciate the distinctiveness and excellence of your primary care services.

Develop A Financial Plan

Developing a thorough and realistic financial plan is essential for the success of a primary care clinic. This plan will serve as a roadmap for financial stability and growth, and will be used to attract potential investors or secure funding from lenders.

To develop a comprehensive financial plan, start by estimating the initial start-up costs. This includes expenses such as leasing or purchasing a facility, purchasing medical equipment and supplies, and hiring staff. It is important to conduct market research and consult with industry experts to ensure accuracy in estimating these costs.

In addition to start-up costs, it is crucial to consider the ongoing operating expenses. This includes expenses such as rent, utilities, salaries, and marketing. Calculating these expenses will help determine the amount of revenue needed to cover these costs and achieve profitability.

Tip 1: Consider different revenue streams that can contribute to the financial sustainability of the clinic. This may include offering additional services or partnering with other healthcare providers.

Tip 2: Create a detailed sales forecast to estimate the number of patient visits or consultations the clinic can expect. This will help in projecting revenue and managing cash flow.

Tip 3: Develop a pricing strategy that is competitive yet profitable. This involves determining the fee structure for different services and considering factors such as insurance reimbursements.

Tip 4: Assess the potential for growth and expansion. Consider factors such as market demand, facility capacity, and staff resources when planning for the future.

Tip 5: Be sure to include contingencies and allowances for unexpected expenses or fluctuations in revenue. This will help mitigate financial risks and ensure the clinic remains financially stable.

Overall, developing a financial plan is a critical step in establishing a primary care clinic. Taking the time to carefully analyze expenses, estimate revenue, and plan for future growth will position the clinic for long-term success.

Secure Necessary Funding

Securing the necessary funding is a crucial step in establishing a primary care clinic. To ensure that your clinic has the financial resources to operate and provide quality healthcare services, it is important to explore various funding options and develop a solid financial plan.

Here are some important considerations when securing funding for your primary care clinic:

  • Research and identify potential sources of funding, such as government grants, private lenders, investors, or healthcare-specific funding programs. Seek guidance from financial advisors or consultants with experience in the healthcare industry to help explore funding opportunities.
  • Prepare a comprehensive business plan that clearly outlines your clinic's objectives, financial projections, and potential return on investment. This will demonstrate to potential funders that you have a well-thought-out strategy and a viable business model.
  • Consider offering incentives to attract potential investors or lenders, such as a solid marketing strategy, a competitive advantage in the market, or a strong track record of success in the healthcare industry. Highlighting these strengths can increase your chances of securing funding.
  • Apply for grants or loans provided by government agencies or healthcare organizations that support the development of primary care clinics. These funding opportunities may have specific requirements, so ensure that you meet the eligibility criteria and provide all the required documentation.
  • Explore partnerships or collaborations with healthcare organizations or existing clinics that may be interested in investing in your primary care clinic. Discuss potential synergies and benefits that can be achieved through a partnership, such as shared resources or patient referrals.

Tips for securing funding:

  • Be prepared to provide detailed financial information and projections to demonstrate the financial viability of your primary care clinic.
  • Network with professionals in the healthcare and business sectors who may have connections to potential funders.
  • Consider crowdfunding or community fundraising initiatives to raise additional funds and generate local support for your clinic.
  • Regularly review and update your financial plan to reflect any changes or challenges that may arise during the funding process.

Securing necessary funding for a primary care clinic may require perseverance and careful planning. By exploring various funding options, showcasing your clinic's strengths, and building strong relationships with potential funders, you can increase the likelihood of obtaining the financial resources needed to start and sustain your clinic's operations.

Gather Necessary Licenses And Permits

Starting a primary care clinic requires obtaining the appropriate licenses and permits to operate legally and ensure compliance with local, state, and federal regulations. It is important to gather these necessary licenses and permits before opening your clinic to avoid any legal issues or disruptions to your business operations.

1. Research the required licenses and permits: Begin by researching the licenses and permits specific to primary care clinics in your jurisdiction. Contact local and state health departments, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), and other relevant authorities to understand the specific requirements and regulations that apply to your clinic.

2. Obtain a business license: In most cases, you will need to obtain a general business license from your local government or municipality. This license will grant you permission to operate a business within the area and may require payment of a fee.

3. Apply for a medical license: As a primary care clinic, you will need to ensure that your healthcare providers are licensed to practice medicine. Each state has its own medical licensing board that oversees the application process. Make sure that you and your staff meet the necessary qualifications and complete all required paperwork to obtain medical licenses.

4. Apply for a DEA registration: If your clinic will be prescribing and dispensing controlled substances, you will need to apply for a Controlled Substance Registration from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). This registration ensures compliance with federal regulations and allows your providers to handle and prescribe controlled substances.

5. Obtain necessary permits: Additional permits may be required depending on the specific services you offer. For example, if your clinic will provide radiology or other imaging services, you may need to obtain specific permits related to radiation safety. Contact the appropriate regulatory bodies to determine if any additional permits are necessary for your clinic.

  • Start the licensing and permit application process well in advance to account for any potential delays or processing times.

MediTrust Clinic’s competitors include the following companies:

Nebraska Medicine Immediate Care Clinic – Midtown offers a wide range of urgent care services, including treatment for illnesses, minor injuries, and preventative care. Their price points are competitive within the market, aiming to provide affordable care options for individuals without insurance or with high deductibles. The clinic generates substantial revenue by serving a broad customer base, including residents of Omaha and surrounding areas. Key strengths of Nebraska Medicine Immediate Care Clinic – Midtown include its central location, extended hours of operation, and the backing of the Nebraska Medicine network, which ensures access to a wide range of medical specialties. However, a potential weakness is the clinic’s dependency on the larger Nebraska Medicine infrastructure, which could impact flexibility in services and pricing.

South Side Convenient Care caters to urgent and primary care needs, offering services from routine check-ups to treatment for minor emergencies. Their pricing strategy is designed to be transparent and accessible, appealing to families and individuals seeking cost-effective healthcare solutions. The clinic enjoys a steady stream of revenue through a mix of insurance reimbursements and out-of-pocket payments from patients. Located in a residential area of Omaha, South Side Convenient Care primarily serves the local community, providing a convenient healthcare option for those living in the southern part of the city. A key strength is its community-focused approach, which includes personalized care and patient education. However, a limitation is its single location, which may restrict access for patients living further away or in neighboring cities.

Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center specializes in oncology services, offering cutting-edge cancer treatment, research, and support services. Their pricing reflects the specialized nature of their services, with treatments potentially running high due to the use of advanced technologies and therapies. The center generates significant revenue, supported by its reputation as a leading cancer treatment and research facility in the region. It serves a wide geographic area, attracting patients from across Nebraska and neighboring states seeking specialized cancer care. The center’s strengths include its comprehensive approach to cancer treatment, access to the latest research, and a multidisciplinary team of experts. However, the high cost of services and the focus on cancer care exclusively could be seen as limitations for individuals seeking more generalized healthcare services.

Riverside Medical Services

Industry analysis.

The global healthcare market is one of the largest and highest-valued industries in the world. According to Global Newswire, the global healthcare services market is currently valued at $7548.52 billion and is expected to reach $10414.36 billion in 2026. This growth is expected to continue for the foreseeable future.

The biggest drivers of industry growth throughout the next decade will be a continual increase in illnesses and diseases as well as a quickly aging population. With more people aging and needing daily/frequent care, hospitals and medical clinics are bound to be in even more demand than they already are.

One obstacle for the industry is the rising cost of care. Though this results in greater profits, more and more Americans cannot afford basic medical care. Therefore, they are opting out of procedures they believe are unnecessary or unimportant.

Despite the challenges of the next decade, the industry is still expected to see substantial growth and expansion.

Customer Analysis

Demographic profile of target market.

Riverside Medical will serve the residents of the San Francisco bay area as well as those who work in the area.

The population of the area experiences a large income gap between the highest earners and the lowest earners. Therefore, it is hard for middle and lower-class families to find quality care that is affordable. As a result, they are in need of the services that we offer and are looking for accessible medical care.

The precise demographics of San Francisco are as follows:

Customer Segmentation

Our clinic is a general family practice and will treat patients of all ages, incomes, physical abilities, races, and ethnicities. As such, there is no need to create marketing materials targeted at only one or two of these groups, but we can appeal to all with a similar message.

Competitive Analysis

Direct and indirect competitors.

Riverside Medical will face competition from other companies with similar business profiles. A description of each competitor company is below.

City Medical

Founded in 2008, City Medical is a membership-based, primary-care practice in the heart of the city. City Medical offers a wide range of primary care services for patients who subscribe to the practice for an annual fee. Patients enjoy personalized care, including office visits, as well as the diagnosis and treatment of common health problems. The patient membership fee covers the services listed below, and most care is received in-office. However, some additional services, such as lab testing and vaccinations, are billed separately.

A good business plan for a medical clinic must be tailored to the unique aspects of healthcare services.

To start, a comprehensive market overview is crucial. This should include current healthcare statistics and emerging trends in the medical industry, as illustrated in our medical clinic business plan template .

Your business plan should articulate your clinic's vision clearly. Define your target market (such as families, elderly patients, or specific communities), and establish your clinic's unique value proposition (like specialized services, extended hours, or innovative care models).

The Financial Plan

Of course, the text presented below is far from sufficient to serve as a solid and credible financial analysis for a bank or potential investor. They expect specific numbers, financial statements, and charts demonstrating the profitability of your project.

All these elements are available in our business plan template for a medical clinic and our financial plan for a medical clinic .

Initial expenses for our medical clinic include the cost of leasing or purchasing a suitable facility, renovating the space to meet healthcare regulations, acquiring medical equipment and technology, procuring necessary medical supplies, hiring qualified medical and administrative staff, and investing in health information systems. Additionally, expenses will cover brand development and targeted marketing strategies to attract patients and establish partnerships with health insurance providers.

Our revenue assumptions are based on a thorough analysis of the local healthcare market, taking into account the population's medical needs, insurance coverage patterns, and the competitive landscape of healthcare providers.

We anticipate a steady increase in patient visits, starting conservatively and growing as our clinic's reputation for quality care and patient satisfaction strengthens.

The projected income statement outlines expected revenues from patient services, consultation fees, and potential ancillary services, balanced against direct costs (medical supplies, staff salaries, utilities) and operating expenses (facility lease, marketing, administrative costs, etc.).

This results in a forecasted net profit that is essential for assessing the long-term viability of our medical clinic.

The projected balance sheet will display assets such as medical equipment, office furniture, and technology systems, along with liabilities including loans and accounts payable.

It will provide a snapshot of the clinic's financial standing at the end of each fiscal period.

Our projected cash flow statement will detail the inflows from patient payments and outflows for expenses, enabling us to predict our financial needs. This is crucial for maintaining a healthy cash balance to support clinic operations.

The projected financing plan will identify the mix of equity, loans, and other financing methods we intend to utilize to fund our startup costs and initial operations.

The working capital requirement for our medical clinic will be carefully managed to ensure we have sufficient funds to cover day-to-day expenses such as staff salaries, medical supply purchases, and other operational costs.

The break-even analysis will calculate the volume of patient services required to cover all operating costs, signaling when the clinic will start generating a profit.

Key performance indicators we will monitor include the average revenue per patient, the patient satisfaction score, the clinic's occupancy rate, and the return on investment to gauge the efficiency of our capital expenditures.

These metrics will assist us in measuring the financial performance and overall success of our medical clinic.

Drawing up a direct primary care business plan

Drafting a DPC Business Plan

Every business needs a plan for how it will bring in revenue, control expenses, market its services, and conduct its operations. A direct primary care ( DPC ) independent practice is no different. Drawing up a direct primary care business plan is an important step toward your success.

When starting a DPC practice, there are a number of important considerations that should also be included in the business plan. Your business plan will include short-term and long-term strategies and goals and should be referred to (and revised appropriately) throughout the life of the practice.

Specific elements of the direct primary care business plan include:

  • Membership fees
  • Competition
  • Structure (pure or hybrid)
  • Arrangements with other healthcare providers
  • Projected expenses
  • Projected income

Drawing up a direct primary care business plan requires you and your team to be realistic, in your assessment of how many patients you can treat as well as your projected income and expenses. When the plan is completed, it should be treated as a living, usable document. Review it on a regular basis and make adjustments as necessary, reflecting your current situation and the healthcare environment in general, to ensure your continued success.

Elation Health has the solution you need for your direct primary care practice. Learn more about the All-in-one EHR and Membership Management Solution.

As you plan your DPC practice, do some research to understand how others in your area operate. While the number of DPC physicians is growing, there may still be very few available to your potential patients. You can plan to differentiate yourself from those that do exist and learn from them in terms of how they market.

When you plan your marketing strategies, include tactics for emphasizing the benefits of the DPC model for healthcare delivery. In today’s healthcare environment, especially, your potential new patients will want to know how your practice can save them money, provide personalized service, and help them develop a quality patient-physician relationship. In your marketing plan, include plans to create a website and post on social media, and determine whether you will need to contract with a professional to help you with outreach and promotional efforts.

Your financial projections will be critical to your success as you are drawing up a direct primary care business plan. Given the structure of the DPC practice, it will be important to determine membership fees, both in terms of what will sustain the practice and of what your potential patients will be willing and able to pay. A realistic projection of your ideal patient panel – and how long it will take to get to that point – will also be important to include in your plan.Technology will be an integral part of your operations and plans for an appropriate electronic health record ( EHR ) solution should be detailed in your business plan. An EHR system will help you manage patient membership, recurring fees, and patient medical data.

Patients Testimonials

  • I would like to write this review after the successful deviated septum surgery that was performed at the V.M.Buyanov Mosc­ow City Clinical Hospital by Rozhdestvenskaya Olga Nikolaevna. Few days after the surgery I started breathing normally and could get good night sleep breathing through my nose. I couldn't do that for a long time before the surgery. I'd like to thank Rozhdestvensksya Olga and her team for doing such an amazing job. I also had pleasure to share my experience with the head of the hospital Salikov Aleksandr Viktorovich. He politely asked how the surgery went and was very welcoming towards me. Overall I had great experience at the V.M.Buyanov Moscow City Clinical Hospital and highly recommend that place as the first choice for any medical treatments in Moscow.
  • I got into that clinic when my heart suddenly fell ill. It turned out that I needed an operation for stenting. I agreed, and the operation was done. I was very pleased, two years ago my problem disappeared.
