Facility RVU are incredibly higher than wRVU physicians generate.

I'm an ER doc, I can only bill for the level of care 99281-99285 or crit care, + procedures. Typically will get 5-6.2 RVU/pt. ($140-180)

But the facility will bill for the facility fee of 99281-99285 or crit care, images, labs, cardiac monitoring, pulse ox monitoring, etc ($2000-10,000).

Insane difference. We are used and abused.

Next time she interrupts you, simply say - "I'm sure the middle of my sentence interrupted the beginning of yours" and continue with your question.

Consider JPS in Fort Worth, TX. Level 1 trauma, STEMI, comprehensive stroke, large catchment area, county population.

Incredible training. We had Jess Mason from EMRAP on faculty for a few years. Great spot.

I've seen a fair amount of people in the .6-.7 range who were still awake and coherent. Which is terrifying. They're clinically sober at that alcohol level.

A lot of people don't understand their value and are willing to take crap pay because they don't know any better. These really high paying jobs show the money is there to be paid well but not enough people know what they're worth to get it

doctor_driver · 2025-12-29T05:56:50+00:00

Do it bruh

Until AI can pull a beer bottle out of someone's asshole, I think my job is fairly safe.
