And this occurs on a consistent, predictable basis? Those numbers are WAY high (99th percentile for $650/hr, I believe), and I would not put faith in an administration that is in "crisis" management as a day to day operating mode. (As in, "proactive" - learn new practices constantly, "reactive" - situation occurs which, when addressed, changes the way going forward, "crisis" - things happen, it is addressed, but the primary process is not changed.) If, in January, Dr. Emerg tells me on 28 Jan that, in Feb, he can do 24 hours at $450, 12 hrs at $550, and 8 hrs at $650, then, on Feb 26, he can do March hours of 16 at $450, 16 of $550, and 8 of $650, I'm going to start to see a pattern. And, whomever it is who is scheduling (or who gives them the budget with which to schedule), they are either going to have to do better, or do something else (as in, they're out). On a parallel, while you are raking it in, aren't they actively recruiting? $350/hr for 120 hrs is $500K/year. I don't care how much of a ****hole that is - 5 or 8 years of that, and, with prudent management, someone can look at retiring. It seems crazy that you are regularly turning down 3X your base, and, as I say, QUITE a surprise that it is consistent and predictable.
