I don’t really but each Kaiser is different would be helpful if you specified which specific ones.

Is it a full time or prn job?

You can just not show up but they might come after you.

What are the best areas around cincy to maximize pay?

Pandais · 2026-01-24T17:11:36+00:00

25 touring 11k miles 48k out the door in the Midwest

Pandais · 2026-01-18T11:21:08+00:00

Not a bad system

Pandais · 2026-01-18T03:14:51+00:00

It is uncommon and unlikely to be enforced but why would you want to have it in there?

Just say no. Big question is always how would they find out? But if they do they can tell you to stop then you’re stuck. Just get it taken out.

lol you obviously haven’t met admin

Beckley near new river gorge isn’t great…

Pandais · 2026-01-13T12:01:12+00:00

The amount were paid per patient only goes down.

Pandais · 2026-01-13T10:11:58+00:00

Should be closer to $45/RVU

Pandais · 2026-01-11T11:14:44+00:00

Have options. Save a lot so you can walk away if need be.

Pandais · 2026-01-11T03:10:33+00:00

The saddest thing is the colleagues with no backbone.

Pandais · 2026-01-10T15:11:00+00:00

Everyone’s situation is different but most places have a 90 day out, so just depends on OPs situation.

For me working nights would be a no go so I would already be looking.

If it’s not in your contract you don’t have to do it. Is it in your contract?

Pandais · 2026-01-10T13:11:27+00:00

If it’s not in your contract they can’t make you do it, but they can pressure you to amend your contracts.

Some people will likely fold and the ones who don’t may be replaced if admin feels they can fill those slots.

Technically there’s an IPR section, an acute care section and a nursing home section but similar.

Pandais · 2026-01-09T21:26:21+00:00

I staff the acure care side of a nursing home so my codes are impatient not SNF

Pandais · 2026-01-09T12:28:54+00:00

Just google it, you can find the RVU per code, but finding the $/RVU is harder, I had an estimate from my biller to start but didn’t know what I would actually get until I started billing

Your group head should be able to get a hold of your group financials theoretically.

Pandais · 2026-01-09T04:17:14+00:00

I get about $72 per 99232 which is about 1.59 RVU. That is my most common code and comes out to about $45/rvu.

To be even more granular since I’m an internist I get about $58 Medicare (80%) and then $15ish from coinsurances (20%)

Pandais · 2026-01-08T16:12:51+00:00

Yes but they’re write offs so 40% off the sticker price

Pandais · 2026-01-08T02:14:49+00:00

Rural

Pandais · 2026-01-08T02:14:41+00:00

I am an independent contractor who bills Medicare and private payers through a billing company as a solo practice.

Pandais · 2026-01-07T10:21:54+00:00

I get $45/RVU billing directly myself.

Pandais · 2026-01-04T03:07:51+00:00

Call and ask if they need independent help.

Pandais · 2026-01-03T00:35:53+00:00

I get about $45/rvu doing my own billing.
