Physician Recruitment Process and Compensation Overview

Compensation Structure

Ochsner Health offers a productivity-based compensation model that combines a competitive base salary with RVU incentive earnings. The structure rewards clinical output directly, which works in your favor given the volume already in place from the departing physician's established patient panel.

Component Detail
Base Salary $600,000
Compensation Model Productivity-based RVU system
Call Compensation Paid call coverage included
Established wRVU Baseline 9,500+ annual wRVUs from prior physician's panel

The Aquablation program recently added to this practice is expected to significantly increase procedure volume, creating additional earning upside beyond what the previous physician was producing.

Benefits

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance for you and your family
  • Retirement savings: 401(k), 403(b), and 457(b) with employer contributions
  • Malpractice insurance with tail coverage included
  • Paid vacation, holidays, and CME allowances
  • Relocation assistance
  • Additional wellness benefits covering physical, financial, social, and mental health

Financial Context

The Northshore region offers a cost of living well below major metro markets, which means your compensation stretches further here than it would in New Orleans or other large cities. The practice draws from a primary service area of 70,000+ residents and pulls additional volume from communities in southern Mississippi with limited urology access. Combined with a growing regional population and no competing urology programs nearby offering robotic surgery or Aquablation, this practice is positioned for continued volume growth.
