If your clinic isn't busy enough, you won't make very much after your guarantee is over. It could be due to the restructuring or change in leadership, but, some doctors are making great pay ($200K +) and some are barely making it ($125-150K+). My advice - be aggressive with pursuing the salary you desire.
Keep in mind that you really can't control your costs since the clinics are run by Methodist There are a plethora of costs that eat into your profit margin (fees for referral department, billing fees are mandatory fixed costs, facility and maintenance fees).
if you can't control your costs, then you can't make as much money. Methodist management's answers to low pay - see more patients, work harder, extend your hours which may or may not be feasible to your particular needs.
Health insurance has 3 options with the most expensive being the one that grants out of network availability. However, the price for insurance and copays is going up ($40 for pcp in network, $60 for out of network $80 to see a specialist) and premiums are on the higher end since Methodist is self-insured. If your spouse has access to insurance in their job it will likely be a better option.
