Medical group practices saw higher operating costs than revenue in 2006, according to the Medical Group Management Association's Cost Survey: 2007 Reports Based on 2006 Data. In ob/gyn practices, operating costs rose 7.1% per full-time equivalent physician, while the median total revenue increased just 2.3%. Similarly, multispecialty practices saw a 7.4% increase in costs and a 1.8% increase in revenue.
