annieng05 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Hi Everyone, I have been a PA for 5 years now with 4 years experience in BMT, Hematology/Oncology. My current job, which I have been at for 2 years now merged with a larger oncology organization about 1.5 years ago. However, for some reason, my practice is "financially separate" from the large organization for a certain number of months (which we were told was up in April 2017 and we would be fully "owned" by the large company). Anyways, the large company has increased all advanced providers salaries to the "median" salary (and I have no clue where they got their information from), but those of us in this "separate" practice had a very minimal raise last year and nowhere near what the other APPs are at. Here are the details of my position: Hours: M-F 8:30am-5pm No weekend, no call, no major holidays (we are a outpatient clinic) Hematology Anticoagulation clinic 3.5 days per week (avg. 10-12 patients per day) Oncology 1.5 days per week (11-16 patients on the full day onc; 5-7 patients on the 1/2 day onc) Chemotherapy teaching sessions (1 hour long)- approximately 2 per day Genetic screening visits- about 1 per week (for me for now since I'm just now learning it) Add ons- triage calls come in - usually 1-2 per day My current salary is $98,900 Would you say this is average? I live in San Antonio. What are some good sites to get salary information from so when I'm ready to ask for a raise, I have something substance to back me. Thank you!

Max PA17 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 If you're an AAPA member you can get the salary report they push out every year for free. That may help. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annieng05 Posted May 28, 2017 Author Share Posted May 28, 2017 I am not an aapa member. I submitted a request for my current job to cover the cost and they of course never got back to me. So I do not have access to the salary report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MT2PA Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 You're going to have a rough go of it because I don't think heme/onc PAs are a large enough group to have substantial data in the AAPA report anyway. Without knowing much about the COL in your area I would think, based on what I know, you're likely not out of bounds by asking for more but you aren't necessarily being taken advantage of at a nearly 6 figure salary. It's more due to your 5 years of experience that I would think you could justify asking for more vs the specialty. That said, do you know what the other PAs are making that aren't part of your 'separate' practice? If yes, ask for at least that! Consider the APAO website, see what you can find for free or consider joining to get a better idea about the salary in that specialty. Otherwise, AAPA is one of the biggest, best places to get comprehensive PA salary information. You might want to just bite the bullet and join to get access if you want data to back up your raise request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator ventana Posted May 29, 2017 Moderator Share Posted May 29, 2017 I am not an aapa member. I submitted a request for my current job to cover the cost and they of course never got back to me. So I do not have access to the salary report. I just don't understand this "They never got back to me" It is your responsiblity to follow up on this - employers are not going to remember to give you money.... Demand they pay for it - at contract renewal - I am sure the Doc's get a huge CME and expense fund.... you must break into that segment If they truly do not pay, you should still joing AAPA! You just have to learn about what is going on in the political realm to realize AAPA is something we all should be supporting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
