I have a couple of job opportunities. One of which involves an anesthesia pain group that contracts with hospitals where in the pain physicians run the clinics at a variety of different hospitals. 90% of your time is at one hospital so that you can develop a reputation their. The other 10% may involve rotating at other hospitals for coverage etc. The salary looks pretty good for a major city. Base is $300k guaranteed x 2 years then 75% net collections after that. My questions are as follows:
1. Are their dynamics I should be aware of with regard to external groups contracting with hospitals? Is this a private practice or hospital based job? I've yet to quite understand the dynamics. Do I need to deal with the infamous hospital administrators, or am I responsible to the group themselves? I think it is the latter, but unsure.
2. Working in a hospital based system, will my collections be effected or is this technically a private clinic where professional fees are higher?
3. What is my earning potential with 75% net collections? The physicians I spoke to see about 15 patients daily and 12 procedures daily. Is there good long-term potential or should I look elsewhere?
Any words of advice are appreciated.
