Why Most Bonus Systems Fail

Too complicated
Create entitlement
Can cost the doctor money

Two Systems That Actually Work

1. Year-Over-Year Growth Bonus

Compare the same month from last year
15% growth = $100 per team member
25% growth = $500 per team member
Flat fees protect the owner and stay compliant

2. The “Small Game”
Track three numbers:

Collections
New patients
Visits
Break weekly records → $50 per team member
Break monthly records → $100 per team member

Key Takeaways

Flat bonuses > percentages
Bonuses support culture, they don’t fix it
Simplicity creates motivation
