Exhibit 5.9: Distribution of Physicians by Type of Practice, 1983, 1994, 1999, 2001
The physician marketplace has changed dramatically since 1983, when 41% of physicians were self-employed in solo practice. In 2001, only 23% of all physicians worked on their own, while 39% of physicians were employees and 37% worked in group practices. An important driver for this trend away from solo practice is physicians’ pursuit of market leverage in negotiating payments from managed care plans.
