medical expert fees

what kind of doc are you?

I usually charge somewhere between $300 and $400.

These almost always get settled. Lawyers are just getting all the paperwork together. Make sure you are charging them per page of notes you have sent.

Forgot to add, I’m a trauma surgeon, so a PCP fee schedule may be different.

Thanks...do you also charge for travel related expenses or fold that in to your fees?

Hospitalist

(no message)

are you a fact witness or are you retained?

The reply was to someone else, but you answered a question I had, so:

TBH, I haven’t charged travel and lodging because they either come to me for depos, or the trials have been in my city.

I can check our department fee schedule tomorrow and report back. But I would do what the other guy above me said. I know I have to make (collect) $2000/day to cover my overhead plus salary. You should be able to figure this out with salary + benefits over 240 (ie 48 weeks of 5 days per week). Don’t forget to include malpractice, office overhead, etc in your benefits. Beingh a Hospitalist, your malpractice will be an order of magnitude less, so your per day will be less.

TSS,

Heres the follow up like I mentioned yesterday.

For Trial Testimony, my departments fee schedule is $6000 per day, plus expenses.
