Private Pay in Private Practice
I am a solo private practice RD who has taken a mix of insurance (with a contracted biller for my practice and some 1099 clients) and private pay clients. I am pregnant and planning to return from my maternity leave part time and private pay. I am in the process of transitioning out my insurance clients, but I am NERVOUS to become all private pay. I am doing it because I do not want to mess with billing or even the work that comes with working with a biller (reviewing everything) once I am postpartum and a mama. I want to make more with less time being part-time.
Are there any other private pay only RD's? It seems like the field has shifted sooo much recently with all of the telehealth platforms so either you take insurance or work in one of these platforms. I share an office with a private pay therapist who has encouraged me to take the leap and I'm excited about it! But I am so nervous about the sustainability of it. Private pay RD's please share your tips/insight!
