[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a lot went to telemedicine.[/quote] No, that doesn't pay very well. That is almost always done as a side job when it is done outside their normal practice.[/quote] It pays the same.[/quote] Not even close, particularly if you're in a specialty area. The pandemic-era billing policies are gone, so reimbursement for telehealth is back to being terrible.[/quote] No, the one I use has 3-4 appointments an hour per doctor. They get paid decently when they have zero overhead and working at home.[/quote] 3 or 4 patients per hour isn't very many. In an office settings most doctors will see at least that many. A PCP might be able to make a similar amount switching to telehealth, but even that isn't clear. There are different billing levels for visits, and telehealth effectively limits you to the lowest one. And almost any specialist would take a huge pay cut.[/quote]
