What do you call an agreement when a hospital lets you do your own professional billing?

I thought this was a PSA? The concept of a PSA where they bill the technical and professional.... and then pay you based on RVUs... sounds like employed model to me, mang. But just dumb academic over here who has never been part of a PSA.What do you call an agreement when a hospital lets you do your own professional billing?

This is when over time a situation like this can surpass “doing your own professional billing” especially if you keep ~15 or less under beam.I am not certain what the retirement situation is everywhere… but I am aware of more than one academic center that utilizes exotic plans where they “match” more than you contribute, and you can contribute much more than the 401(k) max… certainly offsets some of the W2 pain.
...and assuming they stay solvent (looking at you, Illinois) often there are pension plans in some of these state institutions. Some of the academic jobs I looked at a decade ago did have some retirement perks...This is when over time a situation like this can surpass “doing your own professional billing” especially if you keep ~15 or less under beam.
I had this at one university-type of a place; they unfortunately start and stop extra retirement contributions at willI am not certain what the retirement situation is everywhere… but I am aware of more than one academic center that utilizes exotic plans where they “match” more than you contribute, and you can contribute much more than the 401(k) max… certainly offsets some of the W2 pain.
Danny is gonna buy it back at a huge discount...I wish someone (disgruntled) at 21C/GC/FUBAR would spill the photons.. very curious to hear whats gunna happen.
BTW, how did Danny get out of his noncompete?Danny is gonna buy it back at a huge discount...
A special law was passed!BTW, how did Danny get out of his noncompete?
I might want his attorney on retainer!

Yep! Best govt money can buy. No longer needed such power to screw new grads anymore and it was hurting then the same way nowA special law was passed!

What is mph?Michigan ones getting absorbed by MHP
They were already alliedMore consolidation
OneOncology active in a lot of markets it seems. I think they'll make a few bidsThey were already allied
MHP is a large group of physicians - mostly medonc, surgery and pcps. The ROs were partners but not “partners”. Now, they are owned.
They run **** in metro Detroit.
OneOncology making an incursion in the area, too
This is where the Beaumont old guard went?They were already allied

Yeah, exactly. They went from Beaumont to 21C to GenesisCare to MHP.This is where the Beaumont old guard went?

that really seems lost on ASTRO, and SK. Almost all of us are employed and salaries determined by supply and demand, not professional billing codes.Hah. The fake "partner" That sounds familiar.
How many in our specialty don't work for someone else at this point? Med oncs, urologists (I even had an offer from an orthopedic surgeon owner), hospitals, academic chairs, the government, etc.

[email protected]They have a clinic I might be interested in purchasing. Any idea who I would reach out to?
apparently, "maldistribution" is the greatest crisis threatening radonc per SKExactly protecting code or even episode of care reimbursement accomplishes nothing when there are 25 new grads beating on the door to work in a metro not caring how much of the global billing is paid out to them.
I'm sure they understand it but don't just care as protecting the employed isn't in their interests and has a politically unpopular/difficult solution (reducing trainees). It's kind of like owning a house with a cracked foundation leaking water and rabid racoons in the attic and deciding to spend your efforts at the moment mowing the lawn. Riding mower with a beer in hand. Getting the hard work done and feeling a sense of accomplishment.
Ever heard of "gutter oil"? Dig it out of the trash and resell it forever? Which PE is next up to put it back on the menu?

"Our opinion is that there is a growing need for radiation oncologists in the United States. More importantly, there is a need for new training programs in the midwest and south. The demand for radiation oncologists has outpaced the supply. This shortfall of radiation oncologists is especially problematic in the midwestern and southern regions of the United States. As an example, the state of Missouri has only one training program. This shortage has, in part, resulted in an increase in salaries for radiation oncologists in academic programs, as demonstrated by the Association of American Medical Colleges faculty salary survey report".

It's funny how, in the face of data that supply may have now outpaced demand, in the face of widespread assumptions that this will certainly occur by 2030, there not a peep from a single radiation oncology chair.
I think this... inconvenient truth... about employment seems lost on many radiation oncologists, but not all. The ASTRO ones who get it don't seem eager to teach the ones that dont though. One might even argue that some work to ensure the lost stay lost.
Maybe it's time for another Graypeace editorial?

Still, ten years on, it's absolutely stunning to me that an academic radonc would directly admit to increasing residency spots in order to decrease the bargaining power and salaries of younger radoncs.
Even more stunning it was done in the official journal of our society. I've heard of many specialties "eating their young" but I've never, ever heard of one treating the next generation as badly as radonc has treated ours.

It's baffling trying to figure out who exactly Hallahan's intended audience was. Certainly an incredibly small one, but I agree bizarre that it was published in a journal where >99% of those reading it did not possess the eyeballs that was meant for.
He has a plum job for lyfe. Comes and goes as he pleases, sees and does what he wants, and is never ever at risk.
You think he gives even one for your plight?
Yeah, well, this is pretty much where I'm at (ACRO, you're cool for now)
