Questions for Dr. Stern
About Your Urgent Care Center
18. I have a group of ED physicians that are thinking about opening an urgent care clinic in the area. They feel it can be a good return on investment and increased quality of life. Can you give me a ballpark for startup costs for a 3-5 bed urgent care that does limited labs/plain x-rays? Do you have a salary range for urgent care physicians in North Carolina?
Your questions actually depend on many variables, including burn rates, collection efficiencies, contracted discounts, rental fees, signage, etc. Our sister company National Med Network (www.urgentcareconsultant.com) is the consulting arm of our businesses. The Director of that company is Patrice Pash. I believe that she is the most experienced and knowledgeable consultant in the USA in the area of startup urgent care centers. I recommend that you get in touch with National Med Network for an estimate.
