Hey all, I work in primary care for a hospital-owned medical group. I have a meeting Friday with the director of our medical group. Our RVU policy is currently garbage. Maximum amount that can be earned is $30,000 per year for NPs (Physician RVU is u...
I live in the NYC metro area, high cost of living. Can I ask for the 20% AND benefits as well? the 20% would be more than the physicians in the practice are making. So I don't know if this makes sense. I don't have another job lined up except for a p...
Nice, so you bring in well over $300k a year! In my case, should I not ask for 20% of my total billing? Is that not standard? I'd have to ask for 20% if I go over a certain threshold? Also, do you get benefits?
Again, I'm not positive about their exact salary. But they also get unlimited RVUs so at the end of the day they probably earn another 50-60k on top of that or more, I'm not exactly sure. What I planned on doing was adding up the value of the benefit...
I’m sorry, that was for the fiscal year that started in July. So double that for a whole year: 1.2 million. So am I right going in and asking for 240k? Should I subtract the benefits and ask for that? I’m pretty sure the physicians In my practice get...
I've been perusing the threads on NP salaries and I continue to get more and more frustrated. NPs bill at 85% of the physician rate on Medicare/Medicaid, correct? And is this the case for most private insurances as well? I'm becoming a bit disenchant...
I need to get back to an employer today about a job offer. I currently have been working in internal medicine and urgent care as well as ED for 3 years as an NP with 5 years of ED RN experience prior to that. I started at 109,000 as an NP and haven't...
Yogagal. I totally agree with you! I'm a firm believer that we should receive 85% of physician pay, since that is what we bill for, but if we aren't all in this together, we will never get this. We have a huge, powerful lobbying presence and we need ...
Does your position and cousin's position include benefits on top of that hourly rate? And you're saying you get $1000-1500 per SHIFT on top of $80/hr if a crisis shift? That's crazy. I'm in CT and I've never seen anyhting like it. An ED I work at run...
Hey everyone! So I'm currently in an NP program that offers FNP and PMHNP routes. I have completed several classes thus far and I am approaching the time when I'm going to have to decide which route I want to take. I am extremely interested in psycho...
Thanks for sharing your experience Goldenfox! Can you share what direction you went in? Are you making a lot more now than what you used to make? How did you make yourself richer? Thanks for your advice. These exchanges are what will help advance our...
Also, a large hospital gave you student loan repayment? Where are you located? No one offers that here. Was that something that they weren't offering but then gave you for a certain amount of service?
So you're a brand new grad and negotiated 108k and what is the RVU structure like? It is family medicine? How did you do the portfolio and how would I do the portfolio with my current practice? The problem is we aren't busy here. I COULD see a lot of...
OK. and I have over 2 years of experience as an NP as well. I also have 5 years of RN experience before that in the ED. Hopefully that helps. So I can go in asking for 175k?? I know in my practice, the IM docs start at 208k, and we are a part of a hu...
Ok, but my question is: do I negotiate the higher salary after accepting the position and showing my worth, or do I do so initially after they make me an offer, TELLING them about my worth and what I can bill and bring into the practice? Everyone thi...
That's good to know, thanks TheOldGuy. Will this translate to FNPs though? I know there are less psych NPs and you can probably command a much higher salary, or do you know any FNPs earning in that range? Should I go back and get my Psych certificati...
