Hey everyone,
Had a question about how bonuses work for work RVUs. I'm employed by a public university with clinical privileges at an affiliated, non-profit hospital, having started last September w/ starting salary $215K. I work 1.0 FTE but 0.7 of those are non-RVU generating (flat-fee contracts between my psych department and outside clinics, hospitals, etc) with 0.3 of my FTEs being RVU generating: 1 half-day of Spravato clinic (1-3 patients), 1 half-day of ECT (5-8 patients), and 1 half-day of resident supervision outpatient clinic (usually 8-10 patients total to supervise with a 75/25 split between Medicare/Medicare vs commercial payors).
My department says my minimum wRVU threshold was 80 wRVUs/month. I bring in roughly ~160-220/month depending on volume.
The affiliated hospital was recently bought out by a larger hospital chain, so the details on wRVU bonus thresholds are being ironed out but I was wondering: In your experience, are bonus thresholds generally one-size-fits-all (meaning the same threshold regardless of how many RVU-generating FTEs worked)? Or are they generally scaled proportionally? If they do offer bonuses scaled to RVU-generating FTEs, would it be worth worth gunning it for the threshold or are bonuses usually modest and not worth the extra effort in psych?
