Our Department Chief gave a talk on coding and billing. RVUs. And also, as it turns out, contract and job information. Most jobs ask you to work 4.5 days/week and 44 weeks/year. Ok, so I saw 15.7 RVUs in one sample day, which would make 3108 RVUs for the year. Times 45 buckos, and that comes out to 139,887 for an “earned salary.” Hmmm. Well, primary care loses money I guess. You have to work very hard to make money. But salaries are more like 180K to 210K. He said the translation doesn’t exactly work out.

I had coffee with Dr. Williams. We stayed for like 3 hours. I felt like I was overstaying my time. But she didn’t complain. She thanked me. So, I guess it’s good. Our program has problems.
