Hello everyone! Once again this is FrenchM.D/D.O coming back to you live!
Not too long ago, I shadowed a D.O (IM) in Boston. He claims that as a D.O, he gets paid more than the avg. M.D because he gets to charge for osteopathic manipulative techniques (~$70) on top of what an M.D would get per visit (~$120).So that would mean: M.D= ~$120/visit vs. DO= ~$190/visit
So... conjecture or truth ? If you know more about this, please share it with us. I would love to expand my knowledge.
PS: Not trying to start anything here, as I know many are sensitive about this.
