Title says it all.
For as much as I complain about my gig; I have the best gig in these three or four counties.
PROS:
-IC/1099 gig and my general hourly rate is about 225/hr after RVUs and such. GOOD payor mix.
-Reasonable scheduling, although we're looking for a "nocturnist" if we can get one. For the past two months, I have gotten ALL of my request-offs granted, even for silly things like "I want to go watch spring training practice." Not even a game. Just practice. (I have a baseball problem and its not going to go away).
- Moderate acuity. Plenty of medically complicated senior citizens. We're hiring due to growth, not frustration and attrition.
CONS:
- CMG = TeamHealth. If that's a dealbreaker for you, please move on. They're way better than MECare, IMO.
- We have scribes, but they're awful and not getting any better. See my recent posts/threads on this. I do all my own charting, and use them solely to get me coffee/food/whatever. I have "fired" the scribes. My macros and autotexts are far faster, anyways.
- Our MLPs are a mixed bag. There are 1-2 that "need attention". They have been getting better... but reading their charts is like reading cave drawings. Not even hieroglyphs... Cave drawings. Oh, and they love the scribes, so their charting is twice as bad.
PM me if you're interested in the Tampa area.
