30 for each RVU is laughably low. That would mean an Interlaminar Epidural is worth approx $50. Also, keep in mind, if you are on a base for 2 years and then productivity, expect the first year to be great, the second year to have admin breathing down your neck to "work more" and threatening to "cut your pay." Also, you'll have precisely no control over that bureaucracy. Oh and those fabulous 8 week vacations? Take them, let me know how it works out, especially if you're the only pain guy or one of two. It's a scam, they never want you taking those vacation weeks. After year one, I had a talk with admin about my vacation time, and year two I was being told that just because I have it, doesn't mean I have to use it. And a "provider" has to be available for the patients. I laughed and said no, I'll be taking what's in my contract.
