In relation to #5 we had to drop pay by ~6-7% due to medicare cuts in 2021. Me and my MDs salaries are paid directly from medicare ( and other insurance companies who peg their compensation to the medicare rates ) so we have no choice but to drop salaries or close up shop.
With the inflation numbers this year I have no idea what we are going to do, since we are already 6-7% in the hole from the 2021 cuts and now inflation is 8-9% ( assuming the economic numbers are correct... )
- hansel_der 4y ago> we have no choice but to drop salaries or close up shop there's bound to be at least a third option and the fact that you ignored it is part of the problem.
- bshep 4y agoThere are no other source of income other than insurance plans, so if they decrease rates we have no choice but to decrease pay. Im not sure where you are getting the ‘you ignored it’ comment, when the new rates were announced we adjusted pay according to the decrease in rates.
- hansel_der 4y agoyou seem to imply that pay will go up the same moment rising rates are announced.
