Nels7777 Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 I work as a dermatology PA and am paid a percentage of each patients visit. I’m a new grad and when I was hired, my supervisor asked me to look up codes and estimate how much I could generate for the practice, and then base my salary off that. A few months in, he disclosed that we are only reimbursed 30-40% of what we bill for. So obviously, my estimates were off and I am making far less than I thought I would. I get 40% of each visit. Ex: if we bill 99212 ($90) we are reimbursed $30-40, and I get ~$15. Is this standard? I know my percentage seems high but it makes me wonder how anyone could have a lower percentage with such low reimbursement. I am trying to figure out if I am being mislead. thank you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator rev ronin Posted April 27, 2022 Administrator Share Posted April 27, 2022 The only thing I see wrong is that you're billing a 99212. That's 10 minutes of provider time for the E&M visit and same-day records review and charting. After those are added in, even the simplest visits are 99213s (20 minute time, inclusive) if you're keeping good records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
