Picture this: It’s 9 PM, and you’re still at your desk, buried under a mountain of HR paperwork instead of focusing on patient care. Sound familiar? You’re not alone. For healthcare practices struggling to retain medical staff, PEO benefits could be the answer. A recent study reveals that healthcare practices lose a staggering $138,015 per physician annually to administrative tasks (De Vries et al., 2023). That’s countless hours spent managing employee benefits, navigating compliance issues, and handling HR tasks instead of treating patients.
But what if there was a way to cut those administrative costs in half while actually improving your ability to retain top talent?
Dr. Claire Thompson, a family physician in Seattle, faced this exact challenge. “I was losing $11,000 monthly to administrative overhead and watching my best employees leave for better benefits at large corporations,” she recalls. “Now, after partnering with a Professional Employer Organization (PEO), we’ve reduced costs by 47% while offering our staff better benefits than most large healthcare systems. It’s transformed our practice.”
Thanks to effective PEO benefits, we retain medical staff and improve patient care
The Revolution in Healthcare Practice Management
Small business owners in the healthcare industry are discovering what industry giants have known for years: Professional Employer Organizations are game-changers. According to the National Association of Professional Employer Organizations, awareness of PEO services has skyrocketed by 44% since 2018, with small and midsized businesses leading the adoption.
Why Healthcare Practices Are Making the Switch
For Dr. Michael Torres, an independent practitioner in Chicago, the decision came down to simple math. “As a small business owner, I couldn’t compete with the competitive benefits packages offered by large corporations. Insurance brokers could only help so much. But through our PEO partnership, we now offer:
Comprehensive health insurance options
Retirement plans comparable to major hospitals
Commuter health benefits programs
Employee wellness initiatives
Safety training programs that ensure compliance
Advanced HR technology and tools
Best of all, our employees access these benefits at rates previously available only to large healthcare systems.”
