What is everyone's hourly rate these days?

Bonosgrrl · Jul 18, 2016

All billing goes under the physicians number. Nothing is billed thru NP

If you have an NPI why not be billed for YOUR services. Incidence to billing only serves the collaborative physician/practice.

Unless I'm misunderstanding that process.

Please correct me, anyone, if I'm mistaken.

And to answer your question, in the SE the average is under that, so I may not be able to give you perspective.

The low end is 41, I'm asking 47-50/hr at least. (For primary care...more for ED/UC)

One of my friends was doing 150$ / hr as a LNC as an independent contractor which doesn't require a master's...

I'm a PNP in outpatient primary care in California, almost 2 years experience and currently given a raise to $59/hr from my initial $52/hr

Awesome!

All NPs need to coalesce and demand higher wages. 100-125$/hour is more than reasonable. Anyone who works for less than 70$ /hour needs to do the math and realize your employer (especially in the private setting) is making a ton of money off of you.

I can't discuss the specifics but I'm starting out and I contracted as an IC, not an employee for more than 70 an hour plus a flat fee of over 500 a month for being a medical director, I only negotiated that low fee per month because I'm going to direct 4 other clinics (so I'll get an additional 2000 a month). Normally it would have been at least 1000 a month for just one clinic. I have a lot of experience in contract negotiation in the private sector, but I really think it comes down to how you project yourself whether your in an autonomous practice state or not. But think about it, if an NP's reimbursement is 80-85% of an MD's (with insurance), then our wages ought to be 80-85% of an MD's hourly wage. Once employers and staffing companies get use to us increasing the fee, they'll accept it. That's how it's done. But if you keep accepting that 50$ an hour wage, nothing will change.
