megscc Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Hello! Some background information: DFW area PA, 4 years of experience (3 in family medicine, 1 for GI) My initial contract was for 100k base salary. My contract is being reworked, and they are trying to add a bonus structure. I see currently around 15 patients per day. The new bonus structure is as follows: 3000 patients per year=$8000 yearly bonus 3500=$20,000 4000=$36,000 This seems great, but the problem is that my schedule is not that full. For the last year, I only saw 2000 patients. Basically, the bonus structure is unattainable with the amount of patients at my practice. Any advise for what is fair compensation? I think the base salary is low and initially by SP was not willing to increase that. So if I sign this, then I will be setting myself up to make base salary only, which seems low for specialty in a Dallas suburb. Any input is appreciated. I just don't know where to go from here. I love my job, my SP is fantastic and my office is amazing. I just want fair compensation. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator ventana Posted December 17, 2016 Moderator Share Posted December 17, 2016 get away from patient seen - or if this is the only metric - see only fast patients, one problem for visit, make them come back (god I hate that style of practice) Instead - change your bonus over to a % of collections... you should aim for 50% of collections in SALARY to you - the remaining 50% is to cover overhead of the practice and your bennies...
