Some FDs will see a large number of referrals from other physicians. Referral consults pay very well. About $124 per patient. You can do the math. 3 patients an hour $372. 5 hours a day $1860. 4 days a week $7440. 1 month $29,760. 11 months (1 month for holiday) - $327,360. And of course they can still have a small panel of family practice patients to add to this.
You can search Alberta Fee Navigator.
