medigeek Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Don't see how it's possible at all (srs). 400-450 I could see for sure, but 600-850 being the range seems off the charts for something like endo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaronjw Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Similar to what I've seen posted in the past. Granted the $850K seems a bit high compared to the $600K I typically see floated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medigeek Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Have you shadowed an endocrinologist before? I'm going based off what they do typically plus quoted income ranges. How do they pull off it then? Curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooty Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 I believe it's because they are in a special position to take advantage of BMI (obese) and/or chronic disease (diabetes) modifiers in the majority of their billing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NLengr Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 You gotta be kidding me. Is this ON specific due to modifier codes? I can't imagine it's the norm in the rest of Canada or the US. It would put office based endocrine above all surgical specialties, cardio and rads. #iminthewrongspecialty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fugacity Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 When I read the posting, it gives me the impression that they are saying a typical endocrinologist makes bank in Canada. They in no way promise that it is 600K min at their office. Compensation: Fee for serviceEndocrinology in Canada represents a unique office-based practice opportunity with excellent reimbursement (range $600K - $850K per year). It seems like they are trying to attract endocrinologists from the US, preferably those that don't check provincial billing averages for endocrinologists.

tooty Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 #iminthewrongspecialty me too I guess haha. I thought at least the BMI modifier is Canada-wide. You don't have this for your OR cases in NL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NLengr Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 me too I guess haha. I thought at least the BMI modifier is Canada-wide. You don't have this for your OR cases in NL? I'm pretty sure it would be cross Canada. I don't know how much variation there is in the amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flasses Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 https://www.hfojobs.ca/Community/IndividualPermanentPostings.aspx?navID=0&fid1=518&csid1=17781&csid2=34 600-850K for an Endocrinologist? Is such a thing even possible? Don't ask me how I know, but the reason they have to keep re-posting that job is that every endocrinologist that they take leaves within 1-2 years. Wonder why? PS- your average endocrinologist in Ontario will make 300-400k annually. High paced, high volume, long workday diabetes clinics allow you to make a bit more than that. But most people going into endo inherently want more relaxed days and shorter workdays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
