Payment and hours of service benchmarks for medical directorships are available from several sources. However, in today’s health care environment, facilities need physicians for a number of reasons, and it can be difficult to convince a physician to give up time to sit on a committee, serve as a medical staff officer, train for CPO or EHR, help with peer review or participate in quality initiatives. Establishing a fair and compliant payment rate for a position that does not need a particular type of specialist can be a challenge!
How Do Hours Differ Between Leaders and Non-Leaders?
Median annual payments are higher for leaders (committee/initiative chairs and directors) than for non-leaders. For Case/Care/Utilization Management, the annual payments for chairs and directors are more than double the annual payment for non-chairs in Case/Care/Utilization Management. These differences reflect the time and effort required for managing or leading a process compared to members of a committee or task force, or one-time training compensation.
Are Payments Increasing Over Time?
Payments in 2015 are higher than either 2013 or 2014 across all quantiles.
