How does pay per appointment work for an IVF clinic?
With pay per appointment an IVF clinic pays a fixed fee for each patient who shows up and is qualified, with no retainer.
What should count as an appointment?
A patient who matches your criteria and shows up.
Some offers charge for the booking, and about 23% of medical appointments are missed (Dantas et al., Health Policy, 2018).
What should you agree before you start?
- Your criteria: treatment, age, budget, travel and timing.
- What happens when a patient does not match them.
- Whether the same patient is sent to other clinics.
- How many appointments a week your team can take.
What is your part?
You open the slots, hold the consultation and follow up.
Is it right for your clinic?
Yes if you have open consultation slots and a team that follows up, no if your calendar is already full.
