looking for my first job at the moment and i've been trying to make sure i dont end up getting suckered into a contract i dont fully understand. I will be interviewing at an academic facility in a major metropolitan area for an outpatient position with a mix of dual diagnosis patients. Pay for first 2 years is a gaurenteed base, however it then turns into pure RVU based system. So I want to be able to guage what my estimated salary would be once it turns to that.
so my understanding is that with two 30 min follow ups per hour, with 99214 + 90833 would be about 6 RVU's per hour. hoping that dual diagnosis would allow for the increase in complexity for billing. 9-5 is 48 per day.
so 48 x 5 days per week x 45 weeks worked = 1080 rvu's x conversion of 33 = 356k a year ? not including Rvu's for weekend call where we need to round the 20 bed inpatient unit. Is this how it works??
And if thats the case, i'm a little confused with how some posts are saying the average RVU value is 60ish dollars. If thats the case, would be closer to 700k. which seems an insane amount for 16 patients per day, unless im just used to be at a work horse program. Any insight would be helpful, thanks
