A clinic management simulation

Can You Run a Small Clinic?

You run a small outpatient clinic: general practice plus one specialty, built on a loan. You choose the doctors and nurses, how long each appointment lasts and which insurers you accept. Then the catch: insurers pay one to three months after each visit and reject claims with coding errors, while payroll and the loan are due every month. Fill the book, keep the waits short, keep care safe, and don’t run out of cash before the money arrives.

How it plays

  1. Month 1 · Opening — Set up your clinic
  2. Month 2 · The first claims — Billing, the desk and the book
  3. Month 3 · The squeeze — Cash, waits and a contract
  4. Month 4 · Settling in — Inspectors, people and contracts

After the debrief, “Keep going — to month 12” continues the run with calendar events, new challenges and opportunities that build on what you chose earlier. Every decision page has a live preview that shows what your picks do to the numbers before you lock them in.

What you get at the end

A debrief with your outcome, charts of where the money went, your biggest mistake and roughly what it cost, and a full report you can copy or save as a PDF. Everything runs in your browser: no sign-up, nothing to install.
