Our private hospital in NYC allows it, so during "easy" months like our Clinic Months and Elective weeks, lots of people definitely do it. Good money ~100/hour and they give you all the non-teach patients ie. BS chest pain admissions.
Don't know how other parts of the country are. Also, prob not feasible to do while you're a "real" rotation.

Varies from institution to institution..
Mine in IL pays 100 bucks per admission, and you can do it pretty much whenever you want, as long as you keep your duty hours in good standing.
I'm not sure about the malpractice insurance and stuff, I guess its covered, because is mostly a senior admission during the night, you still talk to attendings and document it.
