2010 Physician Compensation and Productivity Survey
SullivanCotter has launched its data collection efforts for the 2010 Physician Compensation and Productivity Survey. The SullivanCotter survey is recognized as one of the industry's leading and most comprehensive reports on physician total compensation and productivity. Last year's report contained data from 313 healthcare organizations comprising 190 physician, PhD, and mid-level provider (MLP) specialties as well as seven medical group executive positions. It reported total cash compensation (TCC) levels paid to 49,981 physicians, residents, PhDs, MLPs, and medical group executives. It also reported productivity data (TCC, collections, gross patient charges, and wRVUs) and productivity ratios for staff physicians (TCC to collections, TCC to gross patient charges, TCC per wRVU, and collections per wRVU).
Additions to the 2010 survey include: TCC and productivity data for Program Directors of physician specialties; TCC data for PhD specialties by position level (Clinicians/Researchers, Principal Investigators, and Department Chairs); and expanded specialties for Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants.
