2018 Physician and APP Compensation Seminar

PLEASE JOIN US FOR THIS POPULAR ANNUAL EVENT!

Is your health care organization prepared to effectively manage the compensation of your physicians and advanced practice providers in a strategic, efficient and regulatory-compliant way?

The rapidly changing health care environment has shifted the way in which organizations are aligning with, engaging and compensating physicians and advanced practice providers (APPs).

To help manage the transition from volume to value in ways that are both strategic and compliant with complex regulations, SullivanCotter offers an annual physician and APP compensation seminar, delivered through presentations, discussions, and interactive exercises and case studies.

This seminar will address challenges related to contemporary physician and APP compensation practices, transitioning to team-based compensation strategies, evolving issues in fair market value and commercial reasonableness and the valuation of physician practices.

Questions that will be addressed include:

• What types of compensation plans are used to help shift compensation from volume to value?
