You enter a compensation structure that reflects the hospital’s commitment to attracting and retaining anesthesiologists who want predictable income and a lifestyle that is hard to match in larger markets. Cody Regional Health offers secure earnings, a choice of employment models, and additional compensation for extra call or clinical coverage. The focus is straightforward: give you financial stability without tying your success to unsustainable surgical volume.
You have the option to practice as an employed physician or shift into a 1099 model if desired. Several current physicians have transitioned to 1099 because it aligns with their personal and business goals. The hospital is flexible, and the structure is transparent.
Physicians in the Mountain West operate in a different productivity environment than high-volume states. Anesthesiologists here typically generate around four thousand RVUs annually, compared to eleven to thirteen thousand in southern markets. The financial model accounts for this difference so you can practice sustainably without pressure for excessive case volume.
If you choose the employed route, you receive a full benefits package that supports your health, your family, and your long-term planning. Benefits are structured for simplicity and reliability.
If you choose independent practice status, you structure your own business, which may offer financial advantages depending on your situation. Several anesthesiologists choose this model so they can maintain outside practice interests during their off weeks.
Your time off becomes a major financial and lifestyle benefit. With half the year free, you gain flexibility to travel, pursue other clinical work, or enjoy the Wyoming outdoors. The compensation combined with cost-of-living advantages and zero state income tax creates meaningful financial breathing room.
This package gives you predictable earnings, clear options, and enough flexibility to tailor your financial future to your personal goals.
