What's a fair RVU based bonus for radiation oncology?
It depends on where you live. I'm in a less desirable market and my bonus is $60/rvu over 13k. My friends in more desirable areas typically have a capped rvu bonus of around 50k/year and the amount per rvu is closer to upper 40's to 50/rvu.
A related question...how many rvu's are people getting per you?
I'm just about to finish my second year of practice. It was nearly impossible for me to get an understanding of RVU's, as all of my mentors where either in academics or traditional private practices. I relied on mgma surveys and my strategy was to negotiate the highest base possible and set rvu goal as high as possible. The hospital will be more than willing to show you what prior years rvu totals were for the department. For what it's worth, all of my friends who were in similar situations a couple of years ago all average at least 1,000 rvu/month and average around 20 patients on treat at a time. Hospital based positions are increasing and I hope the ARRO talk gets updated to discuss rvu's soon.
