This is massively misleading to bundle physician fees and hospital fees together…
Literally, physicians are paid “professional fees” and hospitals are paid “facility fees”, the latter of which is many multiples what the physicians are paid.
Case in point: A 99285, which is the highest complexity ER visit, professional fee (to the physician) is 4.00 workRVUs, or $134 by the current Medicare conversion factor ($33.88/RVU). The Medicare conversion factor has been cut year over year.
In contrast, the facility fee to the hospital is on average $1800, and has increased 531% over the past 17 years…
We are literally fractions of the cost.

6% is not enough! We need more Latinx physicians to serve the growing Latino population and to mentor the next generation. On October 1st, we celebrate the National Latinx Physician Day.

✨Fellow Spotlight✨Dr. Aasith Villavicencio Paz (2nd yr)

Pre-op I introduced myself in English to a 55 year-old female patient who was diagnosed with cervical cancer with bilateral ureteral obstruction, she uttered, “sorry I don’t understand.” She only spoke Haitian Creole.
I sat down and held her hands to explain to her the diagnosis in her native lang. She bursted into tears and called me her Angel. Little did I know I would start making such a positive impact so early in my journey to become a urologist.
Post op, she was pain-free thanks to the talent surgeon placing her stents and emotionally relieved due to the holistic approach to treating her.
Compassionate care in Urology is as important as our life saving procedures.
Forever grateful for this experience during my time at @MSMC_Miami_Uro. #UroSoMe

I’m quite used to the cruelty students can face when they apply for a US visa but this one broke me. We offered admission to a stellar, talented & hardworking student. After months of work and hundreds of dollars, an embassy officer saw him for 5 mins & said no. why? …
Amazing weeks with this team 💫
We all got to learn from outstanding Peruvian Tropical Medicine experts 🌴🏥 and we did not get dengue! 🦟

All I want for #2023 is that the #IMG docs trapped in their countries are able to come back to the US soon. To continue their training, and to continue to serve the very same population that's delaying their return.
