It also includes data for restricted and unrestricted call coverage, which is important in setting accurate call pay rates, both from a financial and fair market value perspective. Organizations across the U.S. have used these data to help develop their physician on-call pay design strategies in contract negotiations with physicians and to support the fair market value of their physician compensation arrangements.
