If it's just you, then you alone are paying for the rent, MOA, etc. instead of splitting the overhead with other doc's. Also as a walk in clinic doctor, you miss out on the attachment fees and complex care fees that family doctors can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The government hasn't exactly incentivized them either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
