Contract & Benefits

Physician Recruitment Process and Compensation Overview

The position offers a $700,000 base salary guaranteed for up to two years, with the option to convert to an RVU incentive model at any point. Production is expected to ramp through Year 1 toward a steady caseload of 17 to 20 patients per day across a 5-day clinic schedule. The conversion factor is set at $95 per wRVU above an incentive threshold derived from the base salary. Three-year compensation projections show stable income through the guarantee period, with incentive earnings activating once production exceeds the calculated threshold. Compensation is benchmarked above the MGMA national median for the specialty, with productivity expectations consistent with a community-based program supported by an established APP team.
