One of the first questions physicians ask when joining a clinic is:

“What’s the overhead?”

On the surface, lower always seems better.

But in practice, overhead is one of the most misunderstood parts of choosing the right clinic.

We’re seeing:

* most competitive clinics now in the 20% to 25% range
* stronger, established clinics closer to 25% to 30%
* anything below 20% often comes with trade-offs

The real question isn’t just the percentage. It’s:

* what support you’re getting
* how efficient the clinic is
* how many patients you can actually see
* and how much you’re taking home at the end of the day

We’ve seen physicians earn more in a well-run 25% clinic than in a poorly structured 15% one.

FHO structures are often misunderstood — especially when it comes to leadership roles, OPA funding, and GMLP. Most physicians focus on clinical work, but the reality is: A well-run FHO depends heavily on how the group is structured behind the scenes.

Key areas that often get overlooked:

*leadership responsibilities (lead vs co-leads)

* proper use and reporting of OPA funding

* how GMLP and Enhanced GMLP are handled internally

* governance and accountability across the group

We’ve seen that the difference between a smooth-running FHO and a struggling one usually comes down to structure, clarity, and ex*****on at the leadership level.

Physician Assistants are becoming a more visible part of healthcare delivery in Ontario.

But there is still a lot of confusion around:

* how they are regulated
* what they can and cannot do
* how they fit into a clinic setting

The key point is this:

PAs are not independent practitioners. They work under physician supervision, and their role is defined through delegation and clinic structure.

With the introduction of CPSO’s Physician Assistant Register, there is now more transparency and oversight — but the core model has not changed.

For clinics, the opportunity is in how PAs are integrated:

* supporting patient flow
* improving access
* increasing efficiency without increasing physician workload

One of the biggest decisions physicians and investors face is whether to buy an existing clinic or build one from scratch.

Both options can work — but they lead to very different outcomes.

Buying an existing clinic offers:

* immediate revenue
* an established patient base
* operational systems already in place

But it also comes with risks that aren’t always obvious upfront.

Starting from scratch takes more planning, but allows you to:

* design the clinic around your model
* structure partnerships (including pharmacy and allied health)
* build long-term value from day one

In many cases, the decision comes down to short-term convenience vs long-term control.

When most people think about the cost of running a medical clinic, they focus on rent and staffing.

In reality, those are just the starting point.

The actual cost structure of a clinic goes much deeper — including:

* technology and EMR systems
* medical supplies and equipment
* billing and operational oversight
* insurance and compliance
* inefficiencies that impact profitability

Many of these costs are not obvious upfront, but they play a major role in how a clinic performs over time.

Understanding the full picture is critical for physicians and investors looking to build or grow a sustainable clinic.

Attracting patients to a medical clinic in Ontario is not just about walk-in traffic.

While walk-ins can drive volume, they are not always the most reliable or sustainable way to grow a clinic long-term.

The clinics that perform best tend to focus on:

* building a strong family practice base
* integrating pharmacy and allied health services
* creating internal referral pathways
* improving access and patient experience

These factors create consistent, predictable patient flow — not just short-term spikes.

If you’re looking to grow your clinic in a more structured and sustainable way, it starts with how the clinic is set up and positioned.

For many physicians in Ontario, increasing income often feels tied to working more hours or seeing more patients.

In reality, a lot of revenue is lost through inefficiencies in billing.

Across FFS, FHG, and FHO models, we consistently see missed opportunities such as:

* incomplete billing
* missed premiums
* unaddressed rejections
* outdated billing habits

With the recent 2026 updates, including increases to FHG premiums and overall fee adjustments, optimizing billing has become even more important.

In many cases, improving how you bill can have a meaningful impact on income without increasing workload.

Opening a medical clinic in Ontario is not just about construction — it’s a structured process with multiple stages.

From lease negotiation to design, permits, buildout, and final setup, each step plays a role in how quickly (and smoothly) a clinic can open.

One of the biggest misconceptions we see is around timelines.

Even for a standard clinic, construction alone should be viewed as a minimum of 3 months after permits are in place — and that’s just one part of the process.

Planning properly from the start can make a significant difference in avoiding delays and keeping the project on track.

We broke down the full timeline here:

Building a Level 3 medical facility in Ontario is not the same as building a typical clinic.

These projects involve:

* general anesthesia environments
* invasive procedures
* strict infrastructure and design requirements
* detailed inspection and compliance standards

We often see projects run into issues not because of budget, but because the complexity is underestimated from the start. Things like layout, recovery space, equipment, and workflow all need to be planned properly — early.

If you’re looking at building a procedure-based facility, it’s important to understand what actually changes at this level.

Selling a healthcare business in Ontario is very different from selling a typical business.

We often see deals fall apart or lose value due to avoidable mistakes — things like:

* pricing incorrectly
* exposing the business too early
* weak financial preparation
* choosing the wrong buyer or advisor

In healthcare, confidentiality, structure, and positioning matter just as much as the numbers.

A well-run process can make a significant difference in both outcome and timeline.

Choosing the right location for a medical clinic in Ontario is one of the most important decisions you’ll make — and one of the most overlooked.

We see a lot of clinics struggle not because of operations or physicians, but because the site selection was off from the start.

For primary care clinics, especially those with a pharmacy:

* retail-based locations tend to perform best
* strong residential catchment is critical
* plaza settings with anchor tenants drive traffic
* parking, accessibility, and visibility matter more than most realize

There’s also a big difference between established neighbourhoods and new developments — each comes with its own trade-offs.

If you’re planning to open a clinic, this is something worth getting right early.

04/20/2026

Choosing the right clinic to work at in Ontario is one of the most important decisions a physician can make — but it’s often underestimated. Most physicians focus on compensation or location. What actually matters just as much:

* billing support
* patient volume
* clinic management
* overhead structure

We’ve seen physicians in similar roles have very different outcomes based on these factors alone. If you’re evaluating opportunities, it’s worth understanding what to look for beyond the surface.
