Thirty-five percent of providers reported receiving on-call compensation daily, while 21 percent reported receiving an annual payment for on-call coverage in 2010. Invasive cardiologists reported the highest median daily rate of on-call compensation, at $1,600 per day on call. General surgeons earned a median of $1,150 per day, while urologists clocked in at $520 per day for on-call coverage.
Practice type and size have an impact on on-call compensation. OB/GYN physicians in single-specialty practice received on-call compensation two times higher than their peers in multi-specialty practices. Invasive cardiologists in single-specialty practices also reported higher rates than their peers in multi-specialty groups.
In some cases, groups with more physicians saw higher median rates for on-call compensation. Anesthesiologists earned $450 per day in groups with 25 or fewer FTE physicians, compared to $660 per day in groups with 26-75 FTE physicians.
Almost all physicians reported receiving higher holiday rates than weekend rates.
