Let’s break it down ⬇️ 💰 1. RVU-Based Pay for Neurosurgeons This is very common in hospital-employed neurosurgery models. • Typical wRVU target: 8,000–12,000/year • wRVU rate: $60–$100 per wRVU depending on location and negotiation Example: 10,000 wRVUs × $75 = $750,000 ⚠️ Many hospital systems offer a base salary tied to an RVU floor, then bonuses above a threshold. Some even front-load a guaranteed salary for year 1–2 and then convert to RVU-only. ⸻ 💳 2. Collections-Based Pay for Neurosurgeo
