Dive Brief:

  • Primary care physicians saw their compensation rise faster than other medical and surgical specialties in 2022, as significant E/M coding changes enacted by the CMS kicked into gear and volume stabilized coming out of the pandemic.
  • Medical groups and healthcare organizations reported a 6.1% increase in primary care compensation in 2022 compared to 2021 in the AMGA’s most recent compensation survey published on Wednesday. That’s compared to 1.5% and 1.6% increases for medical and surgical specialties, respectively.
  • Medical groups’ revenue increased faster than compensation gains for physicians, a trend the AMGA said could be due to groups using more revenue to address higher expenses as supply and labor costs soared.
