Primary care physicians said 3 percent of their total pay was based on quality, while specialists said the same was true for 2 percent of their pay. This is the first time MGMA has reported quality and patient satisfaction metrics in their annual physician pay reports.
“Quality and patient satisfaction metrics are not yet dominant components of physician compensation plans right now. However, as reimbursement models continue to shift, the small changes we’ve observed recently will gain momentum,” said Susan Turney, MD, MGMA president and CEO, in a news release. “It’s encouraging to see physician practices invested in patient-centered care and continuing to seek ways to better incorporate quality and experience into compensation methodologies.”
