[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is obvious you are not a physician, don’t know what you are talking about, and have no idea how they are getting paid/reimbursed and what determines it.  And to communicate that would derail this thread and be of no use to OP who is not a physician or has any plans to be.

I'm not a physician, nor ever claimed to be... I work on the business side of medicine which includes recruiting physicians, and I have seen a lot of real salary data for full time, part time, and locum positions across multiple specialties.  Like I said, physicians have done an excellent job of hiding how much they make even from other physicians![/quote]

Most physicians are employed by the hospital system they work in...not nearly as many in private practice.  If they are hospital employees, the hospital administration knows exactly how much they are making because they determined it.  And no they can't "pick up another shift" in most case- many specialties don't work in shifts and are not compensated by number of hours worked.  Physicians that need/want to make more money have to pick up an entirely separate job, at a different hospital all together, working locum- which as you can imagine, if hard to find a fit within driving distance for them and creates extra stress for their family life[/quote]

Locum availability depends where you live but in an urban area it's easy to find jobs.  Licensing and credentialing is a headache but if you're motivated to do nothing but work as a physician then you will do nothing but work and you will make a lot of money, until you eventually burn out.[/quote]
