The Physician Market: Compensation, Benefits, Recruiting, and Employment Trends

Overview

In this program, we will review four critical trends in physician compensation, production, recruiting, and benefits that impact provider organizations. Particular attention will be given to how these trends may be impacted by the economic environment, impending healthcare reform, and the physician shortage.

Program Topics

• Potential impact of healthcare reform on provider compensation and plan methodologies

• Primary care and subspecialty compensation trends relative to production

• Key trends in physician recruiting, including trends in recruiting and retention programs, and how the physician shortage, coupled with the current economic environment, has impacted recruiting packages.

• Other provider trends, including how CPT code-level data is turned into a greater value proposition for provider organizations.

This program occurs subsequent to the release of ECG's 2009 Provider Compensation, Production, and Benefits Surveys. These surveys include the tenth annual Northwest surveys, fifth annual Midwest survey, and third annual pediatric subspecialty physician survey. ECG's 2009 surveys encompass provider compensation, production, and benefits data for over 9,300 healthcare providers representing more than 90 physician subspecialities and 9 mid-level provider specialties. The surveys contain such critical data as compensation-to-production ratios, including work RVUs and total RVUs (calculated at the CPT code level by ECG); procedure code distributions; trends in recruiting by specialty; and specialty-specific benefits and malpractice comparisons.
