Excess Collections
Excess collections are the dollars your work collects above your draw or base, and the contract decides who keeps them.
Excess collections are what is left after the practice subtracts your draw or guaranteed base from the money your encounters actually collected. In many production models you keep a defined share of this surplus, which is where real upside lives. The number that matters is the split and what overhead is subtracted before the split is calculated.
Pin down exactly which overhead costs are deducted before your excess is figured. A practice can quietly load shared expenses into your overhead line and shrink the surplus you thought you were earning.
