Your compensation is built around a straightforward structure that reflects both the regional demand for orthopedic services and the hospital’s commitment to long-term physician retention. The employed surgeons in the group have a guaranteed base salary, with additional incentive opportunities tied to productivity and quality measures. These figures give you a realistic sense of earning potential in a community where orthopedic volume remains strong and access needs continue to rise.
New surgeons enter a market with a clear path to financial stability. Recent departures and upcoming retirements create a steady flow of referrals, and outreach clinics allow you to build your panel across multiple towns. The compensation model rewards consistent clinical work rather than high-pressure volume requirements, allowing you to grow your practice at a pace that matches the community’s needs.
Benefits are designed to support long-term practice in Cody. You receive full medical, dental, and vision coverage, along with malpractice insurance supplied by the hospital. Retirement benefits offer financial security for providers planning to stay in the region for several years. Relocation assistance is available, and temporary transitional housing may be offered depending on availability, though space is limited and not pet-friendly.
The compensation package matches the lifestyle values physicians here consistently describe. You have a salary that provides financial stability, a benefits structure that supports family needs, and a practice environment that offers room to grow without competing for cases or racing through clinic days. Cody’s cost of living, while higher than some rural areas, remains far below major metro markets, allowing your income to translate directly into quality of life, outdoor access, and long-term financial comfort.
