We have being losing an average of $11,500 per month at our primary care clinic. We cannot continue with these significant losses. We have an idea to expand our hours into the evening and staff the clinic with only Nurse Practitioners. What do we know? The existing operation is losing money: cost per visit is $52.00 and revenue per visit is $50.00. The added visits will generate only $44.00 per visit. We will generate an additional 2,875 visit per month. With plan the revenue per visit is equal to only $48.00. Our variable expenses will increase to the following: o Nurse salary and benefit $180,047 o Non-nurse expenses $233,942 o Support staff salaries $100,000 o Support staff benefits $21,353 o Information Services $7,504 o Laboratory $12,938 o Imaging $3,319 o Medical/Surgical supplies$15,999 o Promotion and Mgt. $ 5,700 o Recruiting $ 8,900 o Other Op. Expenses $ 4,097 All other Costs (Fixed) remain the same Opening the night clinic appears to make the loss worse! Will it
