MGMA’s recently released “DataDive Management and Staff Compensation” report includes data on more than 162,000 management and staff positions across about 2,600 groups that represent hospital- or health system-owned and physician-owned groups.
The data shows medical group CEOs made between $202,407 and $340,289 on average in 2018, based on organization size. CEOs of larger groups, with 26 or more full-time-equivalent physicians, brought home bigger compensation packages, but experienced slightly slower growth in compensation from 2014 to 2018 compared to CEOs of smaller groups.
Here is a breakdown of compensation growth for medical group leaders from 2014 to 2018, according to MGMA:
- CEO/executive directors of groups with 26 or more FTE physicians — 11.83 percent increase
- CEO/executive directors of groups with 25 or fewer FTE physicians — 13.75 percent increase
- Executive management positions — 4.49 percent increase
- Senior management positions — 11.48 percent increase
- General management positions — 8.02 percent increase
