Health care provider

Health care provider is a term that is used to describe a business or an individual who is authorized by the state to perform to consumer’s health care services. An example of such a health care provider is a doctor office. It is considered as medical premises where one or more patients are provided with treatment by one or more doctors. With the implementation of the health care act, it was noted that time spent between physicians and patients reduced. This was due to the mounting duties that are non-clinical and reimbursement decline, thus leading to minimal patient-doctor contact. With this, it means the patient would not have a consistent follow-up care due to the use of patient extenders by doctors in office (U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, n.d).
