I joined this practice a year ago and as part of the model there are two non-pain physicians- one family medicine trained and one emergency medicine trained. The sole purpose of these physicians is essentially to see new patients and sign opiate orders. They are each getting paid ~350k/yr. There are only two actual pain trained physicians, including myself and one more. Now.. I have nothing against them personally, but this model sounds pretty inefficient. We also have 4 part time and two full time APPs. Has anybody else seen or been a part of this type of model? What are your thoughts? My partner is constantly complaining about staffing overhead...
