example of first assist fees


Recommended Posts

I'm considering surgery, however, I'm confused as to how you're reimbursed. It seems as if some specialties (Ortho) can generate a good amount of truly hands on first assist fees. How about CT surgery etc? Is it best to negotiate for more OR time, is that where more money is generated if there is a productivity bonus included in your contract?

 

The reason why I ask is because id like to get paid for my work and I understand the doc is trying to make money too which isn't a problem.

Can someone give an example breakdown of how the billing/reimbursements work for surgical PAs including clinic/OR time and what's a reasonable amount to produce. Any specialty example would be appreciated. I am highly interested in CT/CV surgery & curious how a productivity bonus will work for these intensive specialties.

 

Thanks
