Analyze and compare your organization’s Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) coding distribution against national physician and advanced practice provider clinical benchmarks at the specialty, work RVU and CPT level.

Collect, benchmark and report on the thoughts and experiences of your APPs and physicians related to APP compensation, resources and job responsibilities to help ensure current pay programs and care models are competitive and effective.
This module includes two surveys designed to measure and compare individual organizations to national benchmarks.
