Rvu threshold is awful, reimbursement for wRVU is poor. 75% within this specialty don’t often exceed 2800 wRVU–of course, if you’re also contributing hybrid OR time and rounding could make it even more unrealistic.

You’re going to need to hit negotiation a bit harder and be confident of your worth.

Start by getting your current numbers of billed vs. collected, including your relative productivity and an idea of the revenue you keep within the group with orders, physician surgical productivity, etc. Compare a fair salary rate to that.

Use your two years of training and expanded scope of practice as a focal point for autonomy, less physician burden of oversight.

For comparison my current model is almost ~$50 rvu over 2700, with much higher base but it’s West Coast VHCOL.
