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
