rheumRx understands its responsibility to maintain strict confidentiality to its clients. We exercise our business practices with the highest integrity.

In our experience, the business of medicine presents such a complex and frequently changing challenge today that the amount of time necessary to stay current on tax law, accounting, human resources & employee development, contracting, and so on, dictates that the most prudent course of action would be to turn those responsibilities over to a competent manager.

Even with the best manager, highly successful practices enlist a cadre of advisors: a billing service, an EMR source, a specialty pharmacy and/or wholesale distributor, a practice consultant, an accountant, a lawyer, an investments advisor, an insurance agent, a web designer, a real estate agent, a physician or nurse recruiter, etc. The problem is, one must figure out how to find each one individually and integrate each into your operations with no guarantee that such advisors understand the unique needs of physicians and of medical practice.

Where can one go to find such a diffuse slate of advisors, all in one place? rheumRx.
