Your compensation follows a three-stage path from a hospital income guarantee to full partnership. San Antonio Regional Hospital provides the guarantee in year one, and United Heart Institute has requested a two-year guarantee for this position. The final length is set by the hospital.
If the guarantee runs one year, United Heart Institute offers a year-two contract directly. You can choose between a guaranteed salary with an annual increase or a lower base salary with a production bonus tied to collections.
Partnership is offered in year three. Partners are paid on their own collections, which gives you direct control over your earning potential. Referral volume from within the group supports a full schedule from your first months in practice.
This model includes assumed and/or estimated inputs where data was not provided. Assumptions are clearly marked. Final compensation details are to be confirmed by the employer.
