What Should Dentist Pay Periodontist?

I am planning on bringing a periodontist.  I am going to pay him a percentage of production, but he asked me about a per diem on the days that he is only doing follow-ups and new exams.  What is the going rate for a specialist coming into a GP office?

Thanks.

1. I would think follow-ups would be covered under the procedure fee, so no additional compensation for that in my opinion unless there's a procedure code you can charge.

2. Isn't there a charge for new exams? If so, that'll get included in the monthly production and you should be basing your calculations on no more frequently than monthly.

Good luck
