Nobody truly knows these things unless they are the biz owner (or full partner)... or perhaps the hospital finance dept.
Hospital people on wRVU model can circle and dictate all of the procedures and codes they want... some of the coding is rejected as unbundling. Some might get changed by the coders - for better or worse. There is also much hospital FTE revenue that's difficult to quantify (can can't be compensated directly) from their tests ordered, refers generated, facility fees, GME monies from the residents/fellows being there... and the consults they see, etc. A basic chiropodist who just does wound/derm patients - but sees a good amount of them and sends tons of vasc and PT refers - can actually be significantly more valuable than a "bigtime surgeon" DPM who just sees a few pts, does injects, spends much time to do disability papers and sends out DME, and does a couple long Charcot-type or ER trauma cases per week.
PP employees can also try to circle/send whatever codes they want. The CPT codes may reject (their own errors or the billers' errors), the coding may get changed behind the scenes, it may or may not get challenged and re-submitted, they may get not get paid or it may not get collected. Any employ doc will only know if the owner is honest on that stuff. The employee will have no way to know what was actually collected, what overhead was, etc. Similarly to hospitals, large groups and supergroups will usually have ancillary services that gain them money from the doc referrals (surg center, custom DME shop, testing, path, other services like vasc or PT or various other docs they want the DPMs to feed) - yet, like the hospitals, they can't legally track and compensate those referrals to the employee directly.
