Most independent practices are unique alternatives to the common corporate practice that has become the standard in American healthcare. As such, each practice has to decide their best path forward, including the possibility of adding ancillaries. Ancillaries have often been pushed as a way for practices to increase viability, but ancillaries have also been the downfall of practices. Understanding different types of ancillaries and considering the situational criteria of ancillaries are as important as calculating the return on investment.
