Contract & Benefits

Physician Recruitment Process and Compensation Overview

CPH is targeting the 90th percentile of MGMA total compensation for Urology, which corresponds to $877,356 annually. The hospital is flexible on structure: this can be delivered as a flat guaranteed salary, or as a lower base with wRVU incentives starting at patient one with no threshold to clear. Hospital leadership has explicitly stated this is a wRVU-friendly practice, noting that a physician producing at the 25th percentile of wRVU output would reach or exceed the 90th percentile compensation target with the right conversion factor in place. A year-one ramp is applied to reflect panel and practice-building time in a new community. Physicians who produce at Dr. Cadoff's historical level, described as consistently high when he is in clinic, stand to earn well above the base guarantee through production incentives. This model is based on provided data and market-based assumptions. Final compensation details are confirmed by the employer.

Production Calculations

Metric Calculation Result
Annual visits (full production) 5 days × 16 patients × 46 weeks 3,680 visits
Total wRVUs (full production) 3,680 × 3.5 12,880 wRVUs
Annual visits (Year 1 ramp at 70%) 3,680 × 0.70 2,576 visits
Total wRVUs (Year 1) 2,576 × 3.5 9,016 wRVUs

Compensation Model

Year Base Salary wRVU Incentive Total Compensation
Year 1 (70% ramp) $462,114 9,016 × $59.82 = $539,378 $1,001,492
Year 2 (full production) $462,114 12,880 × $59.82 = $770,682 $1,232,796
Year 3 (Year 2 × 1.03) $462,114 $793,802 $1,255,916

Market Benchmark Comparison

MGMA Source: Urology: General, 2025 Overall

Metric Calculated Value MGMA Percentile Interpretation
Total Compensation (Year 1) $1,001,492 Above 90th percentile Highly Competitive Compensation
Total Compensation (Year 2) $1,232,796 Above 90th percentile Highly Competitive Compensation
Productivity (wRVUs, full) 12,880 wRVUs ~75th–90th percentile Assumed
MGMA 90th percentile reference $877,356 90th percentile Client-confirmed compensation target
Compensation per wRVU $59.82 ~Median to 75th percentile Assumed

Note: The production model above projects above-market earnings because wRVU incentives begin at patient one with no threshold. At moderate production levels (25th percentile wRVUs, approximately 6,943 wRVUs), total compensation already approaches or exceeds the 90th percentile target of $877,356. The model above reflects a more productive scenario consistent with the busy practice Dr. Cadoff has described. Confirm base salary and conversion factor with the client before presenting specific numbers to candidates.
