ella.j Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 hi! i just received another offer, but it is located in COLUMBUS, OHIO (where there is quite a few restrictions to my understanding in terms of scope of practice). PLEASE, HELP :-): -i have 2 years of experience in general dermatology -i had little exposure to surgical/MOHS procedures, but am comfortable being a first assist -no experience in botox or fillers I just received the contract terms, which is for ONE year: *this is mainly for general dermatology, with some possibility of doing solo procedures and gaining exposure to botox/fillers *the average amount of pts to be seen per day: 35-45 Base Salary: 100K --> any other OH Derm PA's here that can give input? couldn't really find a solid number online, and I have already looked at the AAPA report. Productivity bonus --> 20% collections over 200K + full bennies and decent PTO I really do not want screw myself over, if I plan to pick up and move to a different state. So, any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bananapeppers Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Is this the Dermatology place in NORTHEAST Gahanna? I live in Columbus. 35-45 pts/day is quite a lot, you'd be generating the company lots and lots of money. Also, with the vesting plan, that means that the money is not yours until after 5 years. if you decide to leave, they would take the money back from the vest.

ella.j Posted November 17, 2015 Author Share Posted November 17, 2015 @bananapeppers, it is Gahanna (don't know if its NE). how did u know? as far as the vesting plan goes, anything could happen and 5 years seems a bit much. what should i say in regards to this? and 35-45 is not a fixed number; the current pa there sees around 25 pts and the doc sees in the upper range of 45. i asked how many pts i would see and it varies anywhere from 25-45 depending on how fast i can hit the ground running, and how busy i want to be. so is the salary fair, or should i counter for higher? and is 20% of collections over 200K fair?

bananapeppers Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 100K base salary is pretty good. 100k would get you far in columbus. If it's the same dermatologist place as I'm thinking, I shadowed a PA there a few years ago before PA school and she enjoyed it. I know more about hospital contracts rather than private practice. Did you ask the PA there what she generates after collection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dndandrea Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Check out the recent SB 110 legislation that was passed and put into effect last month. It now has 5/6 of the key elements, which is more than most states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ella.j Posted November 17, 2015 Author Share Posted November 17, 2015 @bananapeppers, how long does it typically take to get licensed OH, i was reading it can take anywhere from 6-12 wks! and is the pay typically higher in columbus? would u request a salary increase depending on how many pts u saw per day?

bananapeppers Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 It takes sooooo long! It can take between 2-3 months! The medical board here doesn't really favor the PAs. I think I got done with credentialing at 8 weeks? Also, you can mention in your contract for renegotiation in a year's time. You can see how it is then. But 100k for a M-F with no weekends is a pretty good gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
