Congratulations! It’s been a long career, but you’re finally ready to step away from your practice and sail off into retirement. The thought seems so peaceful, no stressful diagnosis or long hours seeing patients. Unfortunately, to reach that blissful state, there is A LOT of work and planning that needs to be done.

First, you have to notify the DEA, hospitals, other physicians, suppliers and utility companies that you will be closing your practice. Then you have the stressful experience of explaining to your patients that you are retiring and will no longer be able to provide them with care. You will need to refer them to a new doctor, or give them a few suggestions to research themselves. Next, you will have to begin processing your Accounts Receivable, or hire someone to do so, in order to collect on any past due amounts. You will also have to review your insurance policies and cancel or renew them as you and your attorney see fit, as well as arrange mail and call forwarding services. Then comes the physical part of closing, where you will have to sell or rent your office equipment, and possibly the building if you have purchased it.

That list is already quite large, and there are several more things that need to be added to it, such as managing your patient’s medical records, and ensuring that they are secure, yet accessible moving forward. That task must be taken very seriously as medical records contain very important and sensitive information.
