Thanks for the thoughtful answers. These are all legit and ones I wrestle with. I think the toughest one is the prediction of a storm. Staff comes to me at 5 pm wanting me to make the call so we aren't all struggling with a decision in the middle of the night. Today we saw six patients we wouldn't have seen. That is roughly $450. Not to mention the four that would have been rescheduled. So that would be $700 plus. Paying them means $360. So, I get $340 extra minus a minimal amount of overhead plus do a service for my practice.
