For each office visit. if they are surgeons, they get paid for each procedure. if its a radiologist, they get paid for each ct scan they deliver. >> if i spent five minutes for you and put in one of these stents, probably get paid $1,500. for me to spend 45 minutes on an established visit with a patient to make sure they are doing their exercise, make sure their diabetes is going okay, and to try to figure out what their true problem is, probably get paid $15. its a completely irrational system....
