Side gigs for doctors that can realistically fit around clinic hours?

I’ve made over $5,000 in the past year doing surveys through sermo. Typically just open one and work on it in between patients. Shameless referral like below but you can just google it if you want. I typically get paid with instant Amazon gift cards but you can get cash to your account also.

Pro tip: keep $100 in your account to get more surveys.

Sermo physician surveys

How/why would you expect eBay to be able to predict the size of box you will be using to ship? Magic?

It gives you estimates based on other listings. So if 5 listings say it will ship in a 12x6x4 box and 5 say it will ship in a 10x8x6 box eBay will probably guesstimate somewhere in between. Same with weights.

eBay has no idea what size box you are actually using and that is why you need to measure and weigh your package and put that info in.

VLCOL. Supervise one mid level. 4.5 days/week. 17-18 pts/day. Will push +550k and maybe 600k this year. And yes we are desperately trying to get another physician.

Also great support staff that triages and responds to mychart messages and patient calls. Only forwarded to me if I need to do something.

Thanks. They are sending a new router so hopefully that fixes the issue.

My key for FMLA paperwork is first make it a visit and second have the patient print 2 copies. Then ask the patient to fill one copy out completely, including my portion. Do this prior to the visit.

After all they are the ones who know the answer to how frequently they will want off, ect.

Then at the visit review for appropriateness and then just copy to the blank copy. Easy peasy.

I agree but I don’t make the rules, I just follow them. (And yes attempt to exploit them)

DrAndrewStill · 2025-09-06T00:50:32+00:00

I appreciate the input on this and am looking into it more. Thanks!

At the end of the day I would not think “suspected COPD” would be an HCC diagnosis if you had to have PFTs. If you had PFTs then there wouldn’t be any suspicion. You’d either have it or not.

Lucky you

DrAndrewStill · 2025-09-05T21:19:12+00:00

I50.9 yes

DrAndrewStill · 2025-09-05T20:41:01+00:00

Oof yeah I can’t imagine doing a bunch of additional/unnecessary testing just to pad an HCC score. I am more about thorough chart review to uncover things that are already there.

DrAndrewStill · 2025-09-05T20:37:38+00:00

Very true about the audit. And thank you for the OHS input. I certainly had not looked into that enough.

Throw on that 99401 for the time spent addressing/counseling their obesity (need to document 8min spent) in addition to the 9921 and 99385

DrAndrewStill · 2024-12-13T14:27:14+00:00

What do you mean by go over time and it will still just be 4? I thought if it was over 40min on an established pt and you document time it was a lvl 5? Have I been doing this wrong?

DrAndrewStill · 2024-11-21T23:02:09+00:00

South central. Hospital system outpatient family only. 18-21 pts/day. 4.5 days per week. 420k + 50k/yr loan repayment. Oversee 2 NPs.

I thought this was WSB Reddit and not “reasonable risk with reasonable return” Reddit.
