I am a soon to be new attending and had some questions regarding the utilization of midlevels.
The practice I will be joining requires that I see new patients, however, I will have at least one NP to see patients as well. I am in a bonus based off of collections model, so analyzing these details is obviously important.
If the NP sees all of the return visit patients including writing their notes and I am the MD in-house providing oversight -
1. Do I get paid at all for the patients they see?
2. Do I get any compensation for the patients they see, especially as they run ideas/plans by me?
3. After their note is written, does part of the process involve me reading their notes and signing them? Is there potential for me to get paid by doing this?
4. My concern is, as I begin to ramp up, I want to make sure my days are full and might want to see as many return visits as possible, especially if it means doing a much better job of identifying/recommending procedures than them.
