Most doctors are in private practice are "self employed", meaning that they provide service directly to customers. As a self employed businessman, the doctor technically gets paid every time he/she sees a customer/patient. Usually he/she has to wait until the insurance company sends a check, but that's just a technicality, since the money is on the books as soon as the customer/patient enters the examination room.

As of April 2011, doctors in training earn a basic salary and will be paid a supplement if they work more than 40 hours and/or work outside the hours of 7am-7pm Monday to Friday.

In the most junior hospital trainee post (Foundation Year 1) the basic starting salary is £22,412. This increases in Foundation Year 2 to £27,798. For a doctor in specialist training the basic starting salary is £29,705. If the doctor is contracted to work more than 40 hours and/or to work outside 7am-7pm Monday to Friday, they will receive an additional supplement which will normally be between 20% and 50% of basic salary. This supplement is based on the extra hours worked above a 40 hour standard working week and the intensity of the work.

Doctors in the new specialty doctor grade earn between £36,807 and £70,126.

Consultants can earn a basic salary of between £74,504 and £100,446 per year, dependent on length of service. Local and national clinical excellence awards may be awarded subject to meeting the necessary criteria.

Many general practitioners (GPs) are self employed and hold contracts, either on their own or as part of a partnership, with their local primary care trust (PCT). The profit of GPs varies according to the services they provide for their patients and the way they choose to provide these services.

Salaried GPs employed directly by PCTs earn between £53,781 to £81,158, dependent on, among other factors, length of service and experience.

This is all based on the NHS, of course. I'm not sure what it's like in America.

They send bills to their patients and the patients' insurance companies. Bills that remain unpaid for a couple of months may be sold to a collection agency at a discount.
