Imagine a physicians's performs a mole removal procedure in the office.

If the cost of supplies needed for that procedure is $100 and the reimnursement for the procedure is $1000, the mole removal procedure seems profitable.

But what if the procedure takes over an hour to perform, and the same physicians's could render four standard office visits during that hour and be reimbursed $ 1200 (with no costs for supplies)?

Would you suggest the physician's perform more mole removals or concentrate on standard office visits?
