Family practitioners with and without ob/gyn earned $110 and $100, respectively, per day and neurological surgeons earned $1,671 daily, according to the "Medical Directorship and On-Call Compensation Survey: 2010 Report Based on 2009 Data."
Ophthalmologists earned $500 in additional compensation per day while general surgeons earned $905 and urologists earned $283. On-call compensation rates differed on holidays and weekends. The holiday rate for general surgeons was $3,000, and family practitioners received $588 per day.
Most MGMA survey respondents received additional compensation in the form of a daily or annual stipend.
