Researchers from New Haven, Conn.-based Yale School of Medicine, Dallas-based American Radiology Associates, Sacramento, Calif.-based Sutter Health and Jackson-based University of Mississippi Medical Center analyzed data from the Medical Group Management Association from between 2014 and 2023.
Here are four notes from the study:
- Of the 3,769 radiologist compensations analyzed, 2,883 were from diagnostic radiologists and 886 were from interventional radiologists.
- Over the study period, median compensation grew 3.2% annually for academic diagnostic radiologists and 1.9% annually for non-academic diagnostic radiologists.
- In 2023, diagnostic radiologists produced higher median work relative-value-units compared to interventional radiologists with higher collections, by 53% in non-academic settings and 46% in academic settings. For the same year, interventional radiologists had higher compensation, by 16% in non-academic and 10% in academic settings.
- During the study period, interventional radiology physician compensation increased annually by 3.9% in non-academic settings and 3.4 in academic settings. Median work-relative-value-units decreased among interventional radiology physicians by 1.5% in non-academic settings and 2.4% in academic settings. For the same group, collections decreased annually by 4.4% in non-academic settings and 2.1% in academic settings.
