How are graduates in Med-Psych reimbursed? More specifically, are you paid at a specialists level or are you paid at either a Internists or a psychiatrist level?
These seems to vary depending on the type of practice you are doing. As most people who are dual boarded have something unique to offer, it provides an additional selling point during negotations. If you are in private practice and billing insurance companies for services, you would wind up billing as either an internist or as a psychiatrist. As I'm not in private practice I can't speak specifically to that though.
Often when I was interviewing (for positions where I would be doing mostly psychiatry) I was considered as a subspecialist in psychiatry regarding the pay scales, as if I had been a psychiatrist who completed a fellowship.
hope that helps,
