Telemedicine rate...

[Splenda88]

What's the rate for telemedicine out there?

There is a well established hospitalist company that is starting a telemedicine branch and they would like me to join.

Rate is $23 per patient... 1099 and malpractice plus tail is covered. They say you will be able to see 4-8 patients per hour. I feel like $23 is too low.

I already have an ok hospitalist gig. I have 15 days off every month doing nothing most of the time. I will ask $30 per patient, and if they can't offer that, I will pass.

Oof that’s under 200/hr even at 8 patients per hr. Sounds terrible

I’m assuming that rate is for urgent care patients and not Hospitalist admissions?

Yes, it is for urgent care (UTI, sinusitis etc...)

I was offered $26 with teledoc. Haven’t done it yet so can’t comment on how worth it it is.

Where I work the NP's do the virtual visits and they get $15 per visit.

If NP get $15, I should get 2--2.5X of that.

For now, I have opportunity to do extra shift where I am at, so I am putting off doing telemedicine.

Good luck getting admin to agree. But where I work no physician does virtual.

I know they might not agree. I heard crickets when I rejected the $23 rate.
