Just wanted to survey those of you in private practice - What is the frequency of ER Call and does your hospital compensate for said call?
We have been in a situation where call was for 1 week at a time, 1 week out of 5, then 1 week out of 4 due to a provider leaving, with no comprensation. Now one of the other practitioners has decided to drop his hospital privileges which leaves us with three ophthalmologists covering call. The hospital is demanding that we cover all weeks which would put us on 1 week out of 3, and still is refusing to compensate. Just wanted to get a sense of what everyone else's experiences are with respect to call frequency and compensation as we will be negotiating this with the hospital in coming weeks.
