COVID-19 has changed the landscape of medicine, redefining healthcare and the work within it. Before the pandemic, there was already a shortage of healthcare providers, and it has gotten worse, leading to stress and burnout in those who remain in the field. Speaking to the World Economic Forum team, six healthcare executives discussed these challenges, and potential solutions. These industry leaders detail the trends and provide insights on where we might go from here.
These are three of many points that healthcare leaders discussed in this article. As with any conversation in healthcare, many of the ideas apply mainly to the hospital setting, but others can be used in private practice. We hope that you, as a MedCoShare member, can use these ideas to provide even more supportive and holistic care to your patients, and we are here to help in any way we can.

Another writeup on Medscape about how physicians leave employment, and start their own practices.
https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/985493
They interview four physicians, who describe some of the challenges, but also are clearly enthusiastic about the rewards. Here’s a notable quote:
If it’s not yet apparent, all four of these doctors highly recommend moving from employment to private practice when possible. The autonomy and the improved work-life balance have helped them find the satisfaction they’d been missing while making burnout less likely.
“When you don’t have to spend 30% of your day apologizing to patients for how bad the healthcare system is, it reignites your passion for why you went into medicine in the first place,” says Maniya. [SNIP]
For physicians who are also parents, the ability to set their own schedules is life-changing.
Needless to say, this is exactly why we created MedCoShare. Autonomy, work-life balance, the flexibility to set your own schedule… we think that happier providers are also more effective, and deliver better patient care.
There are many steps involved in launching a practice of your own – forming the practice as a legal entity, getting credentialed with payors, setting up billing, obtaining malpractice and liability insurance, and more. We at MedCoShare want to help you navigate the whole process, and we plan to develop guidance and support services for…
A terrific article in the Business of Medicine section of Medscape, talking about physicians who do not want to be employees going back to private practice, or doing it for the first time. A lot of compelling stories from individual docs here, as well a discussion of the larger picture. There are a lot of reasons that doctors want to have their own practice, including autonomy, control of their time, feeling like they can dedicate themselves more to their patients than to the paperwork, and more.
As a team, we’ve been hearing this from healthcare providers informally for quite a while, and I (Greg) as a physician hear it from colleagues often. This is part of why we wanted to do this – to make it possible for providers to have the independent practice they dream of.
There are many steps involved in launching a practice of your own – forming the practice as a legal entity, getting credentialed with payors, setting up billing, obtaining malpractice and liability insurance, and more. We at MedCoShare want to help you navigate the whole process, and we plan to develop guidance and support services for all of these things.
As a first step, we have surveyed the field of EHR systems that are geared toward smaller practices, and created a guide to making the choice, along with basic information on some of the popular options. Should you choose an on-premises or a cloud system? What are the workflow considerations? Do you want a system that is geared towards particular specialties? What should you expect to pay for a system? We discuss all of this, and more, in our guide, which is available as a free download.
Just fill out the form below, and we’ll email it to you. We hope you find it useful, and if you have any questions or want to discuss your journey towards independent practice, please get in touch through our contact form.

We got a little write-up in Philadelphia Medicine, talking about co-working as a new model of running a practice.
As we approach the opening of our Marlton location in just a few weeks, we’re excited about any press coverage that helps us get the word out to the healthcare community. Without naming any names, we’re happy to share that we already have 5 providers who have lined up to start practicing at the new location, and we hope to sign up more in the near future.

TWO WEEK FREE TRIAL for early leases!
We got interviewed in an outlet focused on retail spaces.
https://www.chainstoreage.com/medical-co-working-office-concept-looks-expand
While we aren’t focused specifically on retail spaces, our first location is in a mixed-use building, and this publication covers business in the kind of “main street” setting where we are looking to grow. We’re excited that, little by little, the business press is starting to pay attention to our innovative concept and our growth prospects. Al was a most gracious interviewer, asked sharp questions, and we greatly enjoyed the conversation.
In general, our greatest challenge is just getting the word out that office sharing or co-working is even an option for healthcare providers. We hope to change that over time.
At MedCoShare, we wanted to provide an alternative to standard office space leasing to make it convenient and easy for our healthcare providers. We are proud to announce the opening of our new healthcare office space in South Jersey. Learn more about our process and contact us today!
Grow With MedCoShare
Looking to grow your client base but aren’t sure how? Instead of renting a standard office space, MedCoShare allows you to rent one of our healthcare office spaces so you can focus on what’s important: providing exceptional service to your patients. On top of that, our flexible and convenient offices require no overhead, allowing you to invest in your business. Our new MedCoShare location is the perfect way to grow your healthcare services in South Jersey!
Invest With MedCoShare
Looking to invest with MedCoShare? When you invest with us, you will help us expand our locations so we can continue to provide healthcare providers with convenient office spaces that don’t require overhead, long-term commitment, and expensive leases.
Location
Our new South Jersey healthcare office space is conveniently located near several hospitals, including Cooper University Hospital, Virtua Our Lady of Lourdes, Jefferson Cherry Hill Hospital, and Virtua. This makes it easy to coordinate with your patients and the nearby hospitals. On top of that, our Marlton location is just 30 minutes from Philadelphia with easy access to Route 70, 73, and the New Jersey Turnpike.
Your Business, Your Way
Want to run your healthcare business on your own terms? MedCoShare offers flexible terms with no overhead or long-term commitments so you can run your business your way. We know how important it is to have the freedom to set your own schedule and spend more time with each patient instead of running a large practice or managing the different aspects that come with leasing standard office spaces.
Our plans for opening a new location in Marlton, NJ were covered by the Philadelphia Business Journal in a recent article.
We are working hard on plans for opening another place for healthcare providers to practice. This location is going to be bigger than the first, and we definitely need room to grow.
We plan to offer some pre-opening specials. Fill out our contact form, and we’ll keep you updated on the timelines and the specials.
Starting your own practice as a healthcare provider is exciting. You can set your own hours, choose your patients/clients, and use the methods and techniques in your field you think work best in your hands. Being your own boss can feel liberating, but it also takes some business know-how. You’ll need to consider factors like finding a location, setting up your office with basic services, payer credentialing, liability, and more.
MedCoShare offers physicians and other healthcare providers office space that adapts to their changing needs through coworking spaces and service support. Our goal is to help you launch your private practice as quickly and painlessly as possible. In this post, we are going to give you some pointers so you go into your new journey as prepared as you can be.
Right now, general commercial real-estate is inexpensive, but healthcare office space is still hard to find at affordable prices. It is even harder if you don’t have a full slate of patients yet, and would like to get started practicing part-time. Ideally, you want a space in an area that has a high proportion of patients who carry good insurance, and that is relatively underserved in your specialty. You also want a space with parking, disability access, and amenities that make patients comfortable. MedCoShare has offices in Philadelphia now, and plans to open locations in South Jersey, and Bucks County within a few months.
Before starting your practice, there are a few regulations you should consider. These include:
Business licenses — You may need to obtain a business license to grant you the right to operate your practice in your municipality. For example, in Philadelphia, every business must apply for a Commercial Activity License (CAL).
Payer credentialing — Health insurance companies formally assess a provider’s qualifications before the provider can bill for their services. This can be time-consuming, and requires the provider to submit extensive background information. In the past, every individual health plan had its own credentialing process, but there are now centralized databases (e.g. CAQH) that allow a provider to submit documentation once, and use it for multiple insurance carriers. The timelines for this should be built into your planning, unless you provide mainly cash pay services (such as cosmetic or wellness procedures) that are not billed to insurance.
Malpractice insurance — Whether you are a physician or a non-physician healthcare provider, you need to get the appropriate professional liability insurance before you start seeing patients. Different types of providers have different insurance needs. To determine what your practice needs, you can connect with your specialty’s national or state professional society. Generally, liability insurance companies cover many types of providers (not just MD specialists, but podiatrists, chiropractors, optometrists, and others), and can advise you on your needs
In addition to the space itself, you will need to set up various service contracts for your practice. This means basics like utilities, internet, specialized medical waste removal, and cleaning/sanitizing services, but can also mean more specific needs like coding, billing, administrative staffing, and medical assistants. MedCoShare will take care of many of these for you, and we truly want to help you get started, so if there is some service we don’t already provide, please talk to us and we can discuss how we can support you.

The healthcare industry is constantly evolving, and providers must adapt. Quality medical space can be expensive, and landlords often require healthcare practices to sign long leases with restrictive terms. With MedCoShare, you have an alternative to traditional office leasing. You can set your own schedule, sign up with no long-term commitment, and still get all the benefits of a great office.
It can cost from $70,000 to more than $100,000 to launch a small primary care practice. While an office lease is only part of that, the costs of rent, security deposit, fit-out, decorating, and service contracts add up quickly, and can make starting your own practice unaffordable. MedCoShare offers quality office space to virtually any healthcare provider as well as beauty and wellness practices. Exam rooms and offices start at just $450 a month. Call MedCoShare today!
Medical coworking allows providers to choose their own schedule, and change it when it suits their practice and their lifestyle. Want to practice part-time? No problem. Need to increase or decrease the number of rooms you use? No problem. Want to try it out for a few months and then make changes? No problem. You pay only for what you need, and practice when you want to, and when your patients or clients need you.
Offices and exam rooms are ready, and basic support services (utilities, wifi, cleaning, medical waste removal, basic equipment, and more) are provided. All you have to do is let your patients know where to find you, and show up to see them. We will work with you to get started quickly, and build your practice.
There is no long-term contract, and no lease. You can rent space month to month if you want, and you don’t sign contracts for long-term services. That means you can try practicing with MedCoShare with minimal risk, at a low cost, and see if coworking is right for you. If there is anything we can do to help, please discuss it with us.
Are you looking for affordable offices to build your healthcare practice in Philadelphia? Call the friendly team at MedCoShare and start your journey today!
The search for independence in healthcare is over.
Coworking is growing as an innovative model of practice for healthcare providers. Starting and running an independent practice requires cost and effort that distracts the provider from seeing patients and building their practice. Healthcare coworking spaces give providers the space and basic services they need so they can focus on their patients, the convenience of setting their own schedules, and a more cost efficient alternative to setting up a facility on their own.
Starting a building a healthcare practice is more attainable in coworking spaces. Practitioners no longer have to worry about start-up costs such as fit-out and remodeling, contracts with waste removal and other providers, and staffing.
– A coworking space eliminates the effort spent on renovating a space and making it ready for patient care.
– A provider does not need additional staff as they are first starting to build their patient base.
– A provider can pay for only the space they actually need, adjusting to the volume of patients they see on an ongoing basis.
– Common equipment and supplies can be provided, as needed.
An independent practice in a medical coworking setting gives providers flexibility and freedom. They are not locked into a long-term lease or service contracts, and can practice as much as they want, for as long as they want. The provider can now concentrate on taking care of their patients, without the hassles and up-front costs getting their own facility would require.
Thank you! Your booking request is complete. An email with details of your request has been sent to you.
A member of the MedCoShare team will be in touch to confirm your booking.
COVID has led to disruptions in many industries, and healthcare is no exception. Telemedicine has been growing in popularity, but the impact is not limited to that. More broadly, healthcare providers have to think more creatively about care models. Here is an article about “hospital at home” care, which is being considered and developed by major players. Independent providers can take advantage of flexible options for care delivery even more nimbly as the healthcare marketplace evolves.
Article link:
An electronic medical records system (EMR) is a necessity in medical practice today. There are many commercial systems out there, some tailored to the needs of particular specialties, and some more general. Choosing a system is not easy, because the comparison is hard to make truly “apples to apples”. Here is a review of the best systems of 2020, recently published by an independent not connected to any EMR maker.
https://www.businessnewsdaily.com/10914-best-electronic-health-records-systems.html
Most EMRs now live either in the cloud, or are easily installed on a laptop, so you can see patients anywhere and have it with you. The better systems also offer patient scheduling, coding, and billing options.
There is an article about us in NREI. This is a bit of “inside baseball” – it’s a publication mostly for real-estate professionals and investors, rather than the public. However, we’re glad to reach investors since we’ve got plans to grow to additional locations in the next year, and are glad to discuss plans with folks who are interested in getting in on the ground floor of this industry. As the article notes, there are just a few companies like this around the US, so we’re somewhere between innovators and (very) early adopters.

Another article about us just out today in PhillyMag:
https://www.phillymag.com/healthcare-news/2020/10/13/medcoshare-medical-coworking-philly/
The consolidation of the healthcare industry has made it harder for independent doctors and other healthcare providers to find space and resources. We’re here to help, and this article explains how and why. One thing this article didn’t talk about is our flexibility for those who want to practice part time. If you’re just starting your practice, or taking time to focus on family commitments and want a part-time practice, or if you are trying to practice as a side gig to your regular job, a full-time lease doesn’t make sense, but we have you covered.
We are always looking for ways to make our clients’ patients more comfortable, and provide a welcoming environment for them to chill out while waiting for their appointments.
The new couch has charging ports for patients’ phones and tablets. If you’re one of our provider partners, and you think of something the waiting room should provide for your patients, please let us know.
Two of the founders of MedCoShare met while they were getting their MBAs at Temple’s Fox School of Business. The university press has just published a short article on our company’s founding, and on how we are reaching out to the university community for input and advisors.
This is a story of hope and optimism in the midst of a difficult business climate, and we intend to show the community of entrepreneurs that a pandemic should not prevent creative thinking about opportunities to make the world a better place for small business, healthcare providers, and patients who need care.
Two MBA alums are creating opportunity for healthcare providers in Philadelphia
Co-working has been booming in many industries. Though it started with traditional office work, it has happened with artists, beauticians, and many others. It has gotten to the point where there are websites devoted to it as a concept. Now, one of those websites has discovered medical practice. They didn’t talk to us, but they did a great job of listing the benefits to providers.

We’re glad to be at the forefront of the co-working revolution, and hope that the Philadelphia healthcare community takes advantage of the opportunity we offer independent providers.
This piece is from mid-summer, but it’s still worth a look.
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/future-pulse/2020/07/22/telemedicine-revolution-deferred-789320
The COVID pandemic has led to more physicians seeing patients using telemedicine technologies, helped along by a temporary loosening of restrictions on reimbursement by both government and private insurers. This led to widespread predictions that telemedicine is bound to essentially take over healthcare. This article shows that this may not actually happen. From a physician’s point of view, this is not surprising. There is some outpatient care that simply can’t be done over a video chat (for example, biopsies and minor procedures), and there are patients (especially among seniors) who simply prefer to see their doctor face to face. Some specialties are naturally be better suited to remote practice, and others (more procedure-oriented) will be less so.
To whatever extent telemedicine becomes more widespread as a result of COVID-19, the use of office sharing makes sense in parallel. If a physician (or other provider) shifts to a combination of telemedicine and in-person care, they may want to split their time. For example, an endocrinologist might see patients by telemedicine three days a week (when they need only to review labs and medications), and in person two days a week (for physical exams, thyroid biopsies, etc.). For a practice like that, it makes no sense to lease an office full-time, but an office two days a week would be perfect.
We’d love to answer any questions you may have about our medical office space.
MedCoShare is pleased to welcome our newest provider, Dr. Derek Guirand of sculp|medspa
SculpMedspa is an MD owned and operated medical spa offering aesthetic treatments including neuromodulators (Botox® Cosmetic, Xeomin, Jeuveau), hyaluronic acid dermal and lip fillers (Juvederm and Restylane), and soon IV hydration, Emsculpt, Ultherapy, Cellfina and more!
Another piece about MedCoShare in the local news:
The focus of the publication is more technical, and down the line we see incorporating a lot more technology into our offering – from self-service scheduling to something like a platform to connect HCPs with extra space to those looking for space. For now, though, we’re a people-oriented team, so we spend time making sure that our customers have what they need to help their practice succeed.
We’re delighted that our innovative approach is getting attention. If you know any healthcare providers, please share this with them – they might want a flexible and affordable way to build their practice, or have friends who do.
So, we got a writeup in the Philadelphia Inquirer
Sophie Burkholder did a terrific job of gathering information, not just from us but from stakeholders in the healthcare community and others, and produced a story that touches on many of the points we think make MedCoShare a great solution to a growing problem for independent healthcare providers. Check out this story to see how we and others in the community are thinking about the opportunities in this space.

A flexible alternative to traditional office space leasing
Choose your own practice schedule, without long-term commitments
Freshly remodeled offices in the dynamic Fishtown neighborhood, the convenience of Marlton in South Jersey, with more locations coming soon!
The healthcare landscape is evolving, and practitioners must adapt. Many healthcare providers do not want to be bought up by big hospital systems, and want to stay independent, to practice on their own terms. At the same time, the cost for quality medical space has been rising, and practices are forced to sign long leases with restrictive terms.
MedCoShare provides an alternative to traditional office space leasing. You can set your own schedule, sign up with no long-term commitment, and still get all the benefits of a great office.
Do you want to work just a few half days a month? One day a week? Several days a week? Full-time? We can accommodate whatever works for you, and you pay only for the time you need. No long-term lease required.
We cover build-outs, maintenance, utilities, and facility management. You get reduced risk and overhead, so you can just walk in and focus on your practice.
Our flagship location is in the Fishtown neighborhood of Philadelphia. With easy access to I95, an incredible food scene, free street parking, and a modern facility, patients and providers will find this an ideal location to come to.
