Why it can work

  • Required waivers, insurance and forms are unclear to new practices.
  • Card and HSA or FSA payments must sit alongside scheduling.
  • Patient acquisition without physician referrals is a common gap.

Watch out

  • Short-notice launches may leave owners without enough cash runway.
  • Legal and clinical rules vary and change by location.
