On-call compensation in solo physician practice

[midmichorthopa]

How do those of you that take call get compensated for that time?  Is it dependent on the cases done during the call time?

I wish I got compensation.  It is part of my salary.

I actually have the same question.  We PAs in my office have it as part of our salary but they say that if we want to, (our choice), take more, that we'd get compinsation for a weekend but low-balled us with $500 a weekend. 

 

Any thoughts??

We get $100 per day, regardless of weekend or weekday, per hospital.  We take call for typically 2 hospitals, but sometimes only one. Two years ago, there was no extra compensation for the PA's or the docs, so at least it's something.
