I suspected that and Chat GPT agrees with you! .

So with PA/NP's, the provider is making about 30% or so? (I'm assuming PA/NP salaries are about 60% of an MD's salary?).

How does a medical practice pay for admin, overhead & profit, if "office visits" barely break even?

(Also curious ... most studies I've seen, conclude that "outcomes" are comparable between Dr care & PA/NP care. True?)
