      Aligning Providers, Purpose, Performance

      Provider Compensation & FMV

      When it comes to provider compensation design, there is no such thing as the perfect plan. There is, however, a perfect plan for your organization, one that creates alignment between your providers and the financial goals of the medical group.

      As a firm, we believe there is no “off-the-shelf” answer for your unique organization. Our team takes the time to truly understand your culture and uncover the challenges you are facing so that we can deliver a customized compensation strategy that will help your group thrive for years to come. We pay close attention to your unique market conditions—including prevalence of value-based reimbursement, provider culture, and compensation philosophy—to guide our strategic analysis. And unlike many other firms, we engage your providers and other stakeholders every step of the way, as we believe this ultimately ensures a seamless and successful adoption of any plan redesign. 

      The end results are clear and actionable recommendations for aligning performance across your organization, enabling you to pay competitively in the market and integrate financial and provider recruitment and retention goals that lead to a resilient medical group.

      Market-Leading Compensation Data

      It’s not bragging if it’s a fact: For 37 years, AMGA's nationally-recognized Medical Group Compensation and Productivity Survey has been the gold standard for benchmarking in multispecialty medical groups. Based on data collected from hundreds of medical groups each year, the survey includes compensation and productivity benchmarks for nearly 200 specialties that can be broken down by region, size of organization, ownership, and more. Executive and leadership compensation data is also included.

      FMV Analysis from True Medical Group Experts

      Our approach to compensation fair market value (FMV) analysis is not dependent on data from any other organization. While it can be augmented with other relevant industry data, at its core our Medical Group Compensation and Productivity Survey data has more than 183,000 providers, making it one of the largest data sets the industry, and as part of AMGA, our experts are first in line with up-to-date information on regulatory changes that impact medical groups and health systems.

      Whether you’re looking for analysis on a handful of providers or a more comprehensive assessment of your entire medical group, our experts will work with you to establish timeframes that meet your needs. Generally, we can provide you with feedback on the reasonableness of an arrangement within four (4) to five (5) business days of receipt of complete information
