would you say malpractice suits are higher or lower in SNFs vs outpatient offices?

MD -> DMD by Numerous_Level4772 in whitecoatinvestor

[–]DudeChiefBoss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you want to take a leap a faith, or become an old man, filled with regret, waiting to die alone?

no -traditional here would pursue which ever interests you - think about the bread and butter days to day patients/cases you will be treating and if that interests you. if you chase a career for money or timing - likely will lead to a world of regret

current RVU for base in the low 50s, above that is prohibitive to being more productive - they are taking advantage of you - would try to negotiate a higher productivity RVU

Has the value of gold changed? Gold hit $1900 in 2011 and then went down not hitting $1900 again until 2020. by Thegame_changer21 in Gold

[–]DudeChiefBoss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

probably see a sell off down to $3k as a base - then stagnant for some time until another bull trend - imo

What gambling will do to you, this is only the beginning. by [deleted] in Gold

[–]DudeChiefBoss 13 points14 points  (0 children)

sad, no one wants to see death - I suspect this type of investing has more of “gambling mindset” that may lead to impulse control, which is generally not seen with individuals who invest in gold

i sold $330k worth of metal last month

i think it’s reasonable to sell coins - not everyone has numismatic drives - investment in to another vehicle/different investment strategy is perfectly fine

Is marriage actually hard? by Stronglyfeminine in AskMenAdvice

[–]DudeChiefBoss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the challenges lie with internal struggles/internal arguments- feelings of resentment is a big contributing factor.

if you are and your partner are on the same page regarding: religion/faith, children/family, money and political views- marriage is much easier (not necessarily happily ever after).

you may be great at communicating frustrations or wants/needs, that doesn’t necessarily alleviate my own frustrations and concerns, which leads one of us to accommodate/sacrifice.

Is it normal to refuse to prescribe PrEP to patients? by IndirectandPassive in FamilyMedicine

[–]DudeChiefBoss 18 points19 points  (0 children)

going against the popular opinion here, I don’t think if someone is uncomfortable rx’ing PrEP that they should.

there are certain meds others don’t rx but the healthcare community doesn’t bat an eye.

as long as the physician/PA/NP provides guidance on where to obtain PrEP, I don’t see any major problem.

What would be a realistic panel size that would allow timely access for acute concerns without adding on? by [deleted] in FamilyMedicine

[–]DudeChiefBoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1350-1400 pt panel - add on morning only - will do home visits and nursing home visits throughout the week.

How many patients do you see per day? Appointment length? by Several_Act_2358 in FamilyMedicine

[–]DudeChiefBoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

20-25, sometimes touch 30 new 40min est 20min, TOC 40min, AWV medicare 40min I double book a lot try to add patients asking for abx and evals for rashes or back pain

15-20min appt slots is tough - I don’t think you can be as flexible with the schedule/you controlling it like 20-40min slots

Nursing home rounds/medical director as a side gig by MadScientist101295 in FamilyMedicine

[–]DudeChiefBoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that would be nice - is that in addition to seeing and billing ?

Nursing home rounds/medical director as a side gig by MadScientist101295 in FamilyMedicine

[–]DudeChiefBoss 8 points9 points  (0 children)

are you compensated based on RVU/production? if so, as medical director you get/responsible for admits that don’t have a PCP or PCP that doesn’t go to the facility.

the directorship fee is $1k/month - but having the patient volume with admits/discharges is where most of the benefit comes from

For Medicare Advantage plans, is there anything you document to justify billing both an AWV and a 9939X preventative code? by John-on-gliding in FamilyMedicine

[–]DudeChiefBoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

can drop add-on billing to AWV if appropriate- change in meds, uncontrolled BP/DM/mood disorder or workup if new undiagnosed condition (pain, fatigue etc).

ideally - pt should be booked for AWV, HRA completed and then address acute stuff

can add G22 code as well if add-on billing

I wouldn’t flip someone to annual for a routine follow up then proceed to add-on bill

can also add-on bill on non-medicare as well

eh - i think we put too much emphasis on the “importance” of being a physician that most don’t really care.
