A medical practice consisting of one physician in one office.
Lawful practice of a health occupation as a self-employed individual. Solo practice is thus by definition private practice but is not necessarily general practice or fee-for-service practice (solo practitioners may be paid by capitation, although fee for service is far more common). Solo practice is common among physicians, dentists, podiatrists, optometrists and pharmacists; less common and sometimes illegal in other professions (are all solo practitioners professionals?).
