B) it appears that the maximum that the Dr can claim for one PT is 300 dollars per year. This is presuming that he is a complex case (more than 1 chronic disease), and that all the relevant things are done. (4 visits a year, panel test, drp/DFS, age appropriate screening under sfl etc)
- I am just trying to contextualise, how much is 300 dollars/PT/year worth to a GP clinic? I personally went for health screening package recently. Only did blood test and height/weight, already cost me 90 dollars. (That is just one visit)
I am just thinking how can a GP turn this healthier sg initiative into something profitable?

Woo.
They up it liao.
Last time they were talking about 140 bucks.
And we go huh serious.
U can also charge patient a consult fee on top of it
Eg 22 bucks.
This makes one consult 100 bucks.
But a lot of work la to handle chronic disease.
See one urti 60 bucks easier. Probably can see 3 urti in the time to handle 1 chronic
Or like really simple htn and hld.
Anything complicated ah, sorry u go polyclinic.
It wouldn't move a needle la.
They don't realise patient like ops becuase other than chronic meds
Ur standby meds like ketotop, DMP, cetirizine all cheaper
