Unique Source of Data

Attracting and retaining medical group executive talent is more competitive than ever, and finding the right data to benchmark these positions is difficult. This survey contains data on key medical group executive and leadership positions, reported by organization size based on the number of physicians, and equips medical groups with vital total compensation benchmarking data on key executive positions collected from both independent medical groups and those owned by health systems.


Enhanced Multiphase Auditing Process

Our participant experience includes an audit process that allows organizations to identify year-over-year discrepancies and areas of concern, contributes to the robustness and integrity of our data and provides greater confidence in report accuracy. If audits are needed, SullivanCotter emails participants when their audits are ready. After which, they may log in to their accounts to clarify and submit feedback via secure communication.
