This position carries a base salary with a wRVU productivity incentive, so an RVU-Based Model applies. MGMA specialty selected: OB/GYN: Maternal and Fetal Medicine (Overall), an exact subspecialty match to this fellowship-trained MFM role.
This is a consultative MFM practice with a base salary plus wRVU production upside. The base is set by experience and current production. For a physician without prior MFM experience, the base starts on par with the MGMA median for the subspecialty, with immediate RVU bonus upside from day one. The practice supports a fast ramp: referrals are already backlogged, and the two current MFM physicians produce about 12,000 wRVUs each while earning between $800,000 and $900,000. A new physician steps into established demand rather than building it. The model below anchors to that confirmed current-physician production and earnings. Inputs the employer has not yet finalized are marked with *.
This model includes assumed and/or estimated inputs where data was not provided. Assumptions are clearly marked. Final compensation details are to be confirmed by the employer.
| Variable | Value |
|---|---|
| Clinical days per week | 4.5 |
| Patients per day | 20 to 25 |
| Starting base salary (no prior experience) | $600,000 (MGMA median) |
| Current physician production | 12,000 wRVUs |
| Current physician total compensation | $800,000 to $900,000 |
| Incentive threshold | 7,325* (base / conversion factor) |
| Conversion factor above threshold | $82 per wRVU* (assumed) |
| Bonus structure | wRVU production incentive above threshold |
Annual Visits = Clinical Days x Patients per Day x Weeks Worked
Total wRVUs = Annual Visits x wRVU per Visit
The two current MFM physicians produce approximately 12,000 wRVUs annually. That figure is used as the production basis below rather than a modeled visit count, since it reflects confirmed current-practice output.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Confirmed current production | 12,000 wRVUs |
Incentive Compensation = (Total wRVUs - Threshold) x Conversion Factor
Total Compensation = Base Salary + Incentive Compensation
| Component | Value |
|---|---|
| Starting base salary | $600,000 |
| Production at current-physician volume | 12,000 wRVUs |
| Total compensation at current-physician volume | $800,000 to $900,000 |
| Metric | Value | MGMA Percentile | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total compensation (current physicians) | $800,000 to $900,000 | Above 90th | Strong total earnings at full production |
| Productivity (current physicians) | 12,000 wRVUs | Between 75th and 90th | High consultative production |
| Starting base (no experience) | $600,000 | 50th (median) | Market-rate floor with upside |
The starting base sits at the MGMA median, and current-physician earnings sit above the 90th percentile, which reflects the practice's strong production and the immediate incentive upside. The structure reads as Market-Aligned Compensation with above-median earning potential.
A new physician without prior experience starts at the base and builds toward current-physician production as the panel fills. Quick ramp-up period due to strong referral volume, which is already backlogged. Likely to hit bonuses within the first year.
