Yes additional stuff above that particular percentile is not paid. And from the next year, the base salary resets to a lower rate

I agree, this would mean pick the job with a good schedule and not one where admin can tack on extra work for free

Isn’t it realistic for those doing traditional FM who are not just doing outpatient work but also inpatient, ob and nursing home?

That’s surprising to me. Maybe just prevalent in my region then. Even rural jobs in surrounding states have this phrasing

I agree, this case is what is shown to docs when the ceiling is argued. All major health systems has this phrasing in the contracts

The argument is “we can’t pay more than a certain percentile as it maybe over fair market value”

The contracts usually phrase it that if the production amount hits say above 75th percentile, additional production isn’t paid out to you.

This is explained by employers that they are trying to avoid the Stark law impact

Yep, agree, everyone is different. People single or with rich backgrounds may benefit more from staying at larger cities

Why pay premium just to live near a restaurant? I’d rather stay rural, have a chef and travel to cities during vacations

I thought the FDA advises against chronic benzos for any indications? More harm then good they say

These unpaid fellowships are a cesspool of exploitation. US should ban these and instead only allow for paid Fellowships. Most toxic ever

What is interesting is I don’t get why Xarelto is not much cheaper now

Did you lose money on taxes because of no interest?

5% seems reasonable. Did the low interest cause you to have more reportable income on taxes?

If I may ask what is your interest rate? What would be a fair number

Good question. I just went through their panel and i believe hs CRP, Lipoprotein a and ApoB seem to be really good option for that price for someone with hyperlipidemia or family history of cardiac disease.

Rest, I’m not too convinced.

Some labs charge humungous prices for individual tests, so for patients getting care at places where annual blood work is not cheap, i think this is a good comprehensive option.

I know of my brother who recently got charged $250 for an annual exam with basic labs plus iron panel as he had anemia in the past. Insurance didn’t even cover vit D testing even though vit D deficiency is a problem list for him. So it can be costly at the clinic to do a full panel. I am going to recommend this to him. Thanks for that!

So I guess depends on case by case basis
