What is the going rate to moonlight in anesthesia as a pain fellow? Is $1000 for a 12 hr shift about average? I would be moonlighting as an attending.

Sounds good to me. In house moonlighting? Doing OB/General OR?

Sounds right for in-house. Half that for home call, with a bonus if called in. (based on my n=1 experience).

That was for general OR btw.

That actually sounds a little low, especially if you are moonlighting as an attending in the general OR. Based on your rate, if you were were to work a reasonable 55 hours per week and take about 6 weeks of vaca (52-6 = 46 weeks), your yearly gross would be: 55 hours/12 hours * 1000 * 46 weeks = $210K. I've heard of per diem/rates from $125 - $200/hr, but some places only pay actual OR time also.

I agree that a thousand is anemic. $80/hr is on the very LOW side if you are working those twelve.

Yeah you're right, I have only been taking home call so far, it's about $1000 for 24h. The in house rate is closer to $100/hr.

The recruiter spam I receive periodically usually quotes $1200 for an 8 hour day.

It's a smaller community hospital without trauma or neuro. There is a small amount of CV but there is an on call team for that. It does not have to be inhouse call, but I live too far away to go home. Plus I just feel better being in house if dealing with OB. OB is not super busy. Roughly 700-800 deliveries per year. It is supervision but we put in spinals and epidurals. So it sounds like $1000 isn't too bad I guess.

Depends on the amount of work. If you are sleeping through the night, it is reasonable. If you are working on the ruptured AAA repair in the middle of the night, I would pass. I would check how busy you are.

Locum jobs I've seen are about $175 per hour on a 1099 in the northeast, so $80 bucks an hour sounds like someone is getting a good deal. Heck, I've seen CRNA's making $100 bucks an hour.
