My attendings have clinic all the time...my understanding was that they don't get reimbursed for doing clinic, but is that true? Sometimes we have patients come in for a surgical consult - since that's not follow up, is it reimbursable?
I know some surg specialties have clinic as a huge component (ortho, ophtho, uro, ENT) but it seems to me that gen surg doesn't have the ability to generate income from doing office work...so my question is - am I right or are there gen surg subspecialties (super specialties) that have both a paid clinic and operative experience?
