A reader asked if anyone had successfully started a new radiology private practice recently, particularly one that involved financing, opening up new imaging centers, and fresh payor contracts. There is a vacuum in some areas, especially with the PE-exacerbated instability, and therefore a clear opportunity to those who can muster the manpower (no easy feat).

As a follow-up, I thought I’d ask (on their behalf): is anyone who has willing to mentor other upstarts?

The month of August has been almost exclusively related to the usual activities of daily living and the new/growing job board I’ve started dedicated to true independent physician-owned radiology private practices, which now has 45 groups. I know a service like Independent Radiology probably has more impact than my usual sporadic writing, but I’m personally looking forward to getting back to my usual idiosyncrasies in September.
