Dermatology PA Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I am in dermatology and have been with the practice 8 years. I am cutting to part time but going from salary + incentive to incentive only (no base pay). I see 30 pts a day but will increase. They are offering 23%of collections which seems low. I usually collect around $500k a year working full time. Any suggestions on incentive percentages for incentive only pay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Steve Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 What is the average dermatology pay for someone with 8 years practice? What they are offering is 115,000 if the position was full time. (based on 500K of collections) So let's say you were making 175K a year after salary and incentive. That would be 35% of collections. Can you not start there? I assume they will continue to pay your social security/taxes/coverage insurance, and all that? I am just a student, so I don't know my butt from my hat and trying to learn...

Moderator ventana Posted April 11, 2013 Moderator Share Posted April 11, 2013 last article I saw for take home pay Docs average about 55% PA's average about 45% if you are getting CASH to the practice of $500k you need to be in the $200k range - ound crazy high but there is no reason for a doc to be making $400k off you 45% of the 500k is over 200k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirandab_2002 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I would love to know the schedule /type of patients you see, number per day,etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefPAC02 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I get 40% of collections. Join SDPA and check out the forum over there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAS2014 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 StefPAC02: How long have you worked in Derm? I assume you have been in the practice some time to take 40% of collections. What would you suggest a new grad (with a clinical rotation in a Mohs practice only) negotiate as a jumping off point? Do you recommend requesting a tiered contract (say, you re-negotiate pay/production after a certain period of time)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfahgurl Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Moderator - Do you by chance have the article you were referring to?? I have been working as a derm PA for 1.5 years and also working on renegotiating. Right now I am being paid $60 an hour and want to add inventive pay to that. If anyone has suggestions, it would be very appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator ventana Posted February 17, 2014 Moderator Share Posted February 17, 2014 I am about to begin PA school this summer and work in a Mohs only derm office now. We do about 8 Mohs surgeries a day + Excisions in the afternoon. The MD would like me to come back as a Mohs/Derm PA but has quoted me at $65k base starting salary. From what I understand there is no % incentive for each surgical case either. This seems like an extreme low-ball offer, but he backs it up with verbal promise of being at 6 figures (assuming at least 100k/yr) within a "few years experience in the practice". This practice is located in South Florida. HORRIBLE offer just say no thanks Send him a copy of the Derm PA pay rates as a courtesy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird303 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I agree with Ventana, that offer is just insulting! Politely inform him how far off the mark he truly is and walk away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
