⚡ Quick Answer Summary

Medical service pricing is not guesswork or copying local competitors. It requires calculating four core financial elements: room/chair operating cost per minute, direct clinical consumables, medical equipment depreciation, and allocated overhead, plus a sustainable target margin to ensure long-term practice growth.

Many private practices suffer from the 'Busy Clinic Paradox' — fully booked consultation rooms yet unexpectedly slim end-of-month net profits due to uncalculated procedure overheads and rising consumable costs.
