Factors Influencing Collaborating Physician Pay Rates in Missouri

The pay for collaborating physicians can significantly differ from state to state, primarily due to two key regulatory factors: the maximum allowed ratios of Nurse Practitioners (NPs) and Physician Assistants (PAs) to physicians, and the geographic proximity requirements mandated by state law.

Missouri Ratio Requirements

A physician may collaborate with three full-time NPs at a time.

There are no ratio requirements in Missouri.

These ratios dictate the maximum number of NPs or PAs that a single physician can collaborate with, impacting the demand for and the workload of collaborating physicians in the state.

Missouri Proximity Requirements

In Missouri the NP must practice for one month with the physician continuously present..

Missouri has no geographic proximity requirements for collaborating physicians. This absence of a mandate offers greater flexibility in how physicians collaborate with NPs and PAs, allowing for greater supply of available physicians for collaboration and lower rates.

The combination of ratio and geographical requirements places Missouri's pay rates for collaborating physicians in the medium range nationally.  Many physicians on the Single Aim Platform are licensed in Missouri, so you should have no problem finding a good match for your needs.
