Physician payment trends

A new AMA report examined how non-solo physicians were being paid and found that just over half received compensation by multiple methods. Of those methods, salary and productivity-based payments were the most common with 61% and 53.5% respectively.

On average, half of physicians’ total compensation was earned from salary and one-third was earned from productivity-based payments, according to the report. Physicians also said their compensation was also based on the practice’s financial performance (11.8%) and came from bonuses or other methods (5.5%).
