Physician Recruitment Process and Compensation Overview
Based on 2025 MGMA benchmarks for general neurology, a hospital-employed outpatient physician at median production can expect total compensation near $370,000, with above-median productivity pushing toward the 75th percentile of $446,000. This position carries no call obligation, which is atypical for the specialty and represents meaningful lifestyle value not reflected in the compensation numbers alone. The program volume is strong, with 200 to 250 stroke alerts per month and a patient census that experienced providers take up to 30 patients per day. The new physician builds to a comfortable pace, so Year 1 production will ramp gradually. All values in this section are derived from MGMA benchmarks and must be confirmed with the client before candidate delivery.
