Adult hospitalists saw their compensation rise from $215,000 in 2009 to $220,619 in 2010, a 2.6 percent increase, and pediatric hospitalists averaged $160,038 in 2009 and $171,617 in 2010, a 7.2 percent increase.
The report, which gathered information from more than 4,600 hospitalists, also showed compensation methodology for the hospital-employed physicians is still evolving. Adult hospitalists with 50 percent base salary or less made $288,154 on average in 2010 while adult hospitalists who are paid entirely on base salary earned $205,003. The report suggested there is an increased potential for hospitalists to negotiate more for base salary plus incentives based on production and quality metrics.
