Lots of variability. I'm at a primarily MD only place. Hours are dependent on the OR volume. Anywhere from 35 hours a week to 55 hours a week over the last year. Find a practice with strong local leadership, that's what matters really - whether AMC employed, hospital employed or (yikes) an academic practice. My buddies in private practice are really struggling now cause labor costs have gone up while revenue has decreased from the no surprises act.
Agreed. People think true private practices places are the gold standard. They are not at many facilities these days.
It’s a pain with insurance reimbursement. The smaller practice have less negotiating leeway.
My sister is at true private and they may abandon their practice and just keep their surgery center which is more lucrative. And they are around 45% commercial combined (65% at one hospital and 35% at the bigger hospital) (both hospitals owned by same system) plus surgery centers
They say their employees MDs cost them more and more with labor cost. Primarily 90% MD only practice unless at surgery center. The top guys makes 1-1.2 million but work 70 plus hours a week. Doing 2 weekends a momthb
Most of the partners make 700k-750k but it’s 60 plus hours a week also. No easy money even in private world.
So you can make decent money with Napa at a more guaranteed rate with overtime
The only way Napa can pay this is because someone else is forking over the money. They aren’t generous. The way it works is Napa strong arms hospital’s administration to fork over
The extra overtime/duties to w2 and locums docs.
Napa isn’t losing a dime on paying you extra. That’s how they work.
It’s a huge problem at many hospitals. Hospitals administrators are saying wtf but sometimes they don’t have a choice if they want to keep the OR running. So hospital administrators fork over the money Donald trumps/stormy Daniel’s stripper style in hush money and it’s perfectly legal. What hospital admin pays Napa for extra pay is the same as trump paying strippers. And some of these hospitals are partially taxpayer funded via taxing revenue generated by local and county taxes.
Lol. I love to throw shade comparing what’s being done to trump is the same thing that happens in real world hospitals payments to these AMCs
