title: A PEO for your practice? Professional employer organizations can lighten your administrative burden.
abstract: Many medical practices turn to professional employer organizations (PEOs) to handle their employee benefits and many other administrative functions. PEOs can assume many risks, eliminate numerous headaches and provide a group's employees with a quality benefits package, often at a lower cost. A PEO can allow a group's management team to focus more on other aspects of the medical practice. Although they're not for everyone, PEOs are worth a look.
