As part of the Ochsner Health system, you'll benefit from a compensation model designed to reward both clinical excellence and productivity while providing the security and benefits of Louisiana's largest healthcare organization. The practice operates on a productivity-based RVU system that recognizes your contribution to patient care and allows for significant earning potential, especially considering the immediate volume available from the previous physician's established patient panel of 9,500+ annual RVUs.
Your compensation package reflects Ochsner's commitment to attracting and retaining top-tier specialists, with salary levels commensurate with your experience and training. The productivity model aligns your financial success with quality patient care, ensuring that your dedication to excellent outcomes is appropriately rewarded. Unlike many private practice situations where overhead costs and administrative burdens reduce take-home compensation, the employed physician model provides predictable income with upside potential based on your clinical productivity.
The benefits package extends well beyond base compensation to provide security and support for both your professional development and personal well-being. Full medical, dental, and vision insurance coverage ensures your family's healthcare needs are met, while the retirement planning options provide multiple pathways for long-term financial security. The CME allowances and professional development opportunities demonstrate Ochsner's investment in your continued growth and expertise.
Relocation assistance recognizes the significant commitment involved in joining the practice and helps facilitate your transition to the Slidell community. Malpractice insurance coverage, including tail coverage, removes the financial uncertainty often associated with specialty practice transitions. Additional benefit options focus on holistic wellness, addressing physical, financial, social, and mental health aspects of your life and career.
The financial opportunity extends beyond immediate compensation to include the long-term growth potential of practicing in one of Louisiana's fastest-growing regions. The Northshore area's expanding population, combined with limited urology coverage in surrounding areas, positions this practice for sustained growth and increased productivity opportunities. The recent addition of Aquablation technology is expected to double certain procedure volumes, directly impacting your earning potential while advancing patient care capabilities.
This compensation structure provides the financial foundation for an excellent quality of life in a region where your income extends significantly further than in major metropolitan areas, allowing you to enjoy both professional success and personal fulfillment in one of the Gulf South's most desirable communities.
