the only way a specialist makes more than 200k is: 1)owns a significant interest in a surgicenter 2)is a dermatologist 3)is an administrator 4)works to death (>100 hrs a week and dont forget the on call)

Reimbursement is set by the fed (medicare rates) and ins cos base their rates off of that.

It would of course take a hell of a lot of variance for a significant percentage of doctors to be pulling in a million plus. With 713,000 working doctors, there will be a fair number pulling in lots more than average.

GPs are the lowest paid doctor by a factor of 3 to 5.

Feel free to look at the BLS mean pay above there. They do surveys to determine those numbers.
