Family Health Services (FHS) recognizes that competitive compensation isn't just about base salary—it's about total value, financial security, and fairness. FHS has built a reputation for proactive raises, transparent incentives, and pay that keeps pace with market trends—without requiring you to negotiate aggressively or threaten departure.
Your starting base salary typically ranges from $250,000 to $280,000 depending on experience. New graduates generally start around $250,000–$265,000, while experienced physicians earn up to $280,000. FHS is open to negotiation within this range based on your background and market conditions.
What sets FHS apart is its commitment to salary growth. Providers receive an average of 3% annual merit increases, and salaries are reviewed regularly against market benchmarks. As one physician shared: "I started out taking one of the lower paying jobs, but my salary has grown faster than others. FHS gets it—they want to keep us here."
Example progression: Dr. DeTemple (20+ years) now earns $310,000; Dr. Romney started at $205,000 in 2018 and has grown to $286,000—clear evidence of long-term salary development.
The Medical Encounter Incentive Program rewards higher patient volumes while maintaining quality—not an RVU treadmill. Bonuses are tiered based on the number of patients seen per hour:
For example, if you see 25 patients in a 6-hour day (4.17/hour), you'd earn incentives on 7 additional patients—about $360 in a single day. Paid monthly, these bonuses add up:
This system rewards flexibility—helping out on busy days—but doesn't penalize for no-shows or lighter schedules.
The Hospital Bonus Program rewards you for inpatient rounding and admissions. After the first $5,000 in hospital payments received quarterly, you earn 75% of all additional collections.
Example: If your quarterly hospital payments total $10,000, you receive 75% of the $5,000 above the threshold—$3,750. Typical annual earnings are a few thousand dollars, depending on your patient census.
With 30–40 deliveries annually, that's $9,000–$12,000 in additional income. Paid separately from other bonuses, this is direct recognition for your OB contribution. Dr. DeTemple earned $10,500 last year; Dr. Romney is tracking around $4,500.
A new physician starting at $265,000 base with average productivity can expect $290,000–$310,000 in total first-year compensation.
That’s $40,000 in upfront support to ease your transition, covering relocation, housing, and start-up costs.
Two SelectHealth PPO plans with generous employer contributions:
Employee-only coverage costs under $50 per pay period; family coverage ranges $242–$263—far below market average.
When you or your family receive care at an FHS clinic, you pay only the material cost of supplies—no professional fees. After insurance processes, all services (medical, dental, pharmacy) are 100% discounted. This benefit can save your family thousands per year.
FHS offers a 401(k) with 5% company match after one year (immediate vesting). Automatic enrollment at 3% begins after 60 days.
Example: On a $280,000 salary, contributing 5% ($14,000) yields another $14,000 match—$28,000 total annual savings.
Combined, you'll enjoy 6.5–7 weeks of paid time off your first year, growing to over 7.5 weeks after five years—well above industry average.
You can use CME time for conferences, online learning, or courses—up to 10 full days annually.
All prescriptions at FHS pharmacies are $5 each, regardless of type. This provides significant annual savings.
Optional pet insurance includes a $250 deductible, $7,500 annual max, and covers accidents, illness, hereditary conditions, cancer, dental, behavioral care, and prescriptions.
When you factor in salary, bonuses, benefits, PTO, and discounts, your total value equals that of a $320,000–$350,000 base salary at a typical employer. Most importantly, FHS treats providers fairly—raises are proactive, time off is respected, and financial security is prioritized. The philosophy is simple: Take care of the physicians, and they'll take care of the patients.
