I’m salaried and do pain 1-2 times a week. Rural hospital, only game in town. The rest of my time is anesthesia. Frankly, I prefer doing anesthesia. The pain clinic has a waitlist of 3 months and I think admin sees dollar signs that are waiting in a queue, with the potential for them to spend their dollars elsewhere. I’m really not interested in doing any more pain days such that the CEO can fatten his bonus through wildly exorbitant facility fees. Admin has brought up the idea of hiring cheaper, less skilled labor (an APP) to see consults and do some bedside procedures to reduce the waitlist and free me up to focus on the more advanced (aka better paying) procedures. It sounds like they expect me to take on this APP for nothing. I’m not willing to do that. What is a typical compensation model when one takes on an APP?
