Physicians are Concerned

The average physician in a solo or two-person practice spent 3.5 hours weekly interacting with health plans (4.3 hours for primary care physicians, data not shown).

Nursing staff spent 13.1 hours per physician per week on authorizations—far more than any other type of staff and far more than nurses spent on any other type of interaction.

When time is converted to dollars, practices spent an average of $68,274 per physician per year interacting with health plans.
