The Potential of Market Opportunity for Acupuncture

General potential of private Acupuncture practice.

Before the murder of the Out of Network system, insurance paid from $140 to $250 for a 45-minute visit.

Everyone understood that this “happiness” would end someday. But there was no point in going to In Network, because the number of clients did not increase.
The same people had benefits from Acupuncture (in network and out of network). That is, joining the network did not expand your client base in any way.

In other words, if there were 40 potential clients with out-of-network benefits, and there were 400 clients with in-network benefits, I would not hesitate to enter all Potential Networks. Just to work properly. But it so happened that the pool with In Network and Out of Network was one and the same.

Those who wrote the rules did not see (or did not want to see) that expanding the pool of potential clients with benefits for acupuncture “only In Network” would encourage 90% of private acupuncture practices to move to In Network.

But what was is gone. Like water in a river, the past cannot be returned.

When an acupuncturist works for someone.

In a busy medical practice, the acupuncturist is given 2-3 (in some places 4) patients per hour. Whether this is correct will be discussed a little later in this article.
This kind of work is like an assembly line.

The flow of clients leaves no room for Creativity, Analysis, Happiness from work, Planning for a successful recovery of the patient. But those acupuncturists who got into such a practice immediately after graduating from school and receiving a license do not even know that the structure of the practice may be different.

They started working inside the “machine” that “makes money” and see no other way.
What does a practitioner get paid after the New Jersey Acupuncture Master Program? From $25 to $50 (very rarely 60-70 dollars per hour).
This is the Potential of Practice.

Potential of Private Acupuncture Practice.

Everyone understands that your Private Practice means that the licensed acupuncturist pays for all expenses.
#1 - office rent;
#2 - all utilities;
#3 - advertising;
#4 - health insurance billing;
#5 - office and acupuncture expenses.

But you have the opportunity to Analysis, Creativity, Research. And you choose how much time you need to work with one client.
By the way, Insurance Billing is not as “scary” as many people think at the beginning.

By 2024, health insurance pays from $50 per visit to $110. Of course, office rental and advertising costs are the main ones.
An office can cost from $400 to $2000. And advertising can cost from $300 per month to $3000.

Another advantage of a private acupuncture practice is that there is no one to fire you. 

Especially if you are over 60 years old and don't want to run between three rooms with clientele.
Naturally, in “assembly line practice” they hire young people and train them to work hard.

In a private Acupuncture practice, you will always have time to “play around” with Stock Market.
In this section we will look at the Potential of this Investment Instrument.
We will consider the Laws and Rules of Warren Buffett in the corresponding article - according to the Plan described at the beginning.
As well as other recommendations for beginners.

The purpose of this article is to assess the Market Potential in 2024.

If you don’t have time for all this, you probably have your own Broker who invests for you in Funds with minimal Risk.
Of course it's safer this way. Especially if the Risk can also be insured by 25%.
