Fair Market Value: Physician Compensation, Directorships and Professional Services Agreements

DGA Partners helps healthcare organizations and their legal counsel to document and determine the fair market value of physician compensation in a wide range of relationships, including:
  • Full or part-time employment
  • Medical directorships
  • Professional services agreements
  • Co-management agreements
  • On-call arrangements
DGA has extensive experience in benchmarking physician compensation on a hospital-wide and departmental basis, and in determining fair market compensation for newly created medical directorships and other physician/administrators. We detail the terms of physician compensation agreements. Depending on the nature of the arrangement, this may require:
  • Developing position descriptions
  • Establishing productivity and level of effort requirements
  • Defining quality of care measures and related management tasks
  • Translating administrative, supervisory and teaching (AS&T) activities into fair and reasonable compensation ranges
  • Determining service levels and fair market value for contracting hospital-based physician services
  • Determining legitimate payment levels for improving care quality
Our innovative approaches keep your financial arrangements in compliance while meeting hospital goals and physician expectations.
 
“DGA gives our compensation committee in-depth analysis that goes beyond conventional benchmarking. They have helped us identify “outlier” physician relationships and restructure them to reduce our exposure.” Margaret M. McGoldrick, Executive Vice President and Administrator Abington Memorial Hospital
