Which doctors are getting it?
A friend of mine does ear and neck surgery in the US. For operations where the hospital bills $25,000, he receives $300. Some more goes to the anesthesiologist and other personnel involved, but the vast bulk to the hospital itself. Compensation does seem to vary by field, so I'm curious what you've seen.
- antisthenes 5y agoDepends how it's structured I guess. Is he an employee of the hospital, or does the hospital contract the doctor for surgeries? If he's an employee, it only makes sense that he gets a "base" salary and bonuses for actual surgeries. That makes it less risky for him, if, for example, there's a whole month of people not needing ear/neck surgeries. If the doctor's practice is contracted by the hospital to come in and perform the surgeries as needed, you can bet your ass that doctor would be charging $5k+ per surgery.
- ericbarrett 5y agoHe has his own practice and I believe it's under a contract of some kind.
- pkaye 5y agoThere is a surgeon on YouTube that talks about a lot of stuff like how much he roughly makes per surgery, what is costs are, how much his loans are, etc. https://www.youtube.com/user/antoniowebbmd https://www.youtube.com/user/antoniowebbmd
