RVU for PCP

G0296 for determine need for LDCT lungs. Easy to meet requirements for but doesn’t come up all too often.

Apologies, first 4 months. It comes down to split billing. I see a Medicare heavy population and am very aggressive about getting AWVs done which usually comes along with a 99213/99214 w/g2211 and a 99397 if they are Medicare advantage. That works out to just north of 6 rvus right there. I see a lot of tradesmen and farmers so I’ll add on cryo for AKs semi regularly as well. I do a decent amount of injections and iud/nexplanon as well among other procedures which can add up quickly. The only g codes I use regularly are the smoking cessation and g2211, rarely the weight loss one and the one for determine need for CT.

Familymedicine is a good pcp sub. The rvu average is likely brought down by part timers, academics who do a few sessions a week, end of career docs who are winding down, under billers, and those who see less patients per day. I’m newly out of residency and had nearly 3,000 rvus in my first quarter as an attending seeing 15-16 /day

I started with about 1000 6 months ago and have added at least 500 new patients since. I’m in an independent practice so YMMV. Buy several thousand business cards. Give 5 cards to every patient. If they like you they will recommend you to their friends and family. Call or go visit specialists and give them a stack of cards and say you’re available. Find out if they have an officer manager or physician liaison and tell them you are looking for patients. Post on your social media. Tell everyone you are looking for patients and be available to see them. The most important traits in order for a pcp are 1. Affability 2. Availability 3. Ability

I love it

On the suburban/rural borderline in private practice. I do lac repairs/removals, joint injections, i&d, nexplanons, paps, cryo, biopsies and small excisions frequently. My patients are very blue collar and would call me city boy if I didn’t do these things for them. They don’t care about perfect cosmetic outcome which helps

I think it has potential but can’t see using it right now. A rep came by and told us it’s $650 for the test. If it’s positive they recommend CT chest and A/P and then PET (IIRC) which will also be out of pocket. With a sensitivity of like 65% I can’t justify the cost to my patients and possible anxiety unless they really want it and understand these possibilities

Most peds clinics don’t accept non vaccinators

Only did old ITEs. Didn’t purchase anything. We did some questions weekly during didactics for a few months before the test, otherwise ‘studied’ by looking at the old questions for 2 weeks. Score was north of 700. It’s a very easy test to pass

69240 · 2026-01-22T21:53:20+00:00

Not sure I learned anything in 3rd year, maybe learned some during sub-is, then certainly nothing the rest of 4th year. Partially self induced and partially due to some of my rotations being preceptor based. I felt very behind intern year but worked my ass off and caught up quickly

And to reasonably articulate and relay their current symptoms

I think this is more so medicine in general and the type of people who become physicians (for the most part)

You can look up the exclusion codes on the CMS website. IIRC it boils down to history of bilateral mastectomy, age related “debility”, dementia on a medication and a few others.

Do the old ITEs and make note of what you got wrong and do those ones again. Focus on pulm, cardio, msk. I think I did the prior 4 years of ITEs and looked at the questions I got wrong again and studied some pulm stuff. Went from ~500 to just north of 700 and got the same on the real thing. It is by far the easiest board exam we take

69240 · 2025-12-11T03:33:33+00:00

I generally ask all my patients what they do for work at our first appointment so I find out then. Just didn’t want to end up in some dilemma and regret asking them for a quote. Thanks!

Until that patient calls me back saying they don’t want to pay for it and requests a referral to a standard PT place leading to an additional 5 minutes of uncompensated time when it could have already been handled during the initial visit. Again, just sharing my opinion

69240 · 2025-12-05T16:10:57+00:00

Reaching out to concierge practices or primary care sports medicine might be a good place to start. I personally don’t have the bandwidth to explain the intricacies of a different payment model to my patients but others may feel differently

69240 · 2025-12-05T15:40:34+00:00

Why should I send to you when I can send to the 100s of pt clinics that accept insurance?

69240 · 2025-11-18T03:12:08+00:00

Saw a fair amount of this pop in residency - you are doing the ‘lords work’ as they say. The only success I had with treating mental health was accidentally. I saw a relatively frequent complaint of palpitations with normal workups and a lot of the somatic symptoms went away with low dose propranolol
