What Should Dentist Pay Periodontist?

I am planning on
bringing a periodontist.  I am going to pay him a percentage of
production, but he asked me about a per diem on the days that he is only doing
follow-ups and new exams.  What is the going rate for a specialist coming
into a GP office?

Thanks.

1. I would think follow-ups would be covered under the
procedure fee, so no additional compensation for that in my opinion unless
there’s a procedure code you can charge.

2. Isn’t there a charge for new exams? If so, that’ll get included in the
monthly production and you should be basing your calculations on no more
frequently than monthly.

Good luck
