I get that the entire Medicare/Medicaid system is currently being manipulated by politicians, and that there is no telling what any outcomes will mean for podiatrists or other docs. However, the podiatrist salary averages listed on the various websites that claim to know, are meaningless, because each source has their own, sometimes very different "averages". What is the recommendation, if any, about which state to designate for a license, which I have to designate before taking round 3 of boards? Thanks!

 

Pick 3 states that you would like to live. If you are good at what you do, you will prosper.

The top paying states to earn a dentist salary are Oregon ($80.00), New Hampshire ($117.79), Hawaii ($100.38), Georgia ($98.51), and California ($89.32). These salaries are calculated as an annual mean or average. This are the best place for earning the money.

 

What dentists get paid have no bearing on what Podiatrists make. Dentists for the most part to not accept low paying HMOs and Podiatrists do. Texas is one of the best states to practice Podiatry as there is less managed care and reimbursement is still fairly good compared to other states. Florida is one of worse states as managed care pays 30-40% of medicare allowable. Most dentists participate minimally in managed care, they are smarter than us.
