FriarMedic Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 In New England - In an effort to find some per diem work where I'm home for dinner I cold emailed some family practice offices, offering to cover sick visits and have an interview coming up. Any idea on hourly rate or per patient rate on something like this? I'm 3 years full time EM and some per diem UC experience. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camoman1234 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I would say 65-70/hr. If you are not getting benefits and covering last minute shifts. You will be dealing with a while different patient population and doing more chronic care which will be hard as you do not know the patients. I would assume you would have to see at least 17 patients/8 hrs to make up for the cost of letting you work. Will they pay for training (EHR, flow of clinic, policies/procedures...)?

dphy83 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Do you mean that you are covering for providers that call in sick, or are you covering patients that that are there for acute issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FriarMedic Posted August 4, 2017 Author Share Posted August 4, 2017 The latter, covering patients who schedule same day or next day acute visits, similar to UC acuity id imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
