Top Findings Include:
Executive compensation in health care is not immune to the pressures felt across all sectors of the economy. The two-year rate of increase in total compensation – at 5.9% – is well below the 11.6% increase reported in 2009 and the lowest since the 2001 survey reported 5.0% increase. Higher-ranking physician executives experienced a greater reduction in the rate of growth in total compensation than those in other roles.
Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) reported their lowest two-year increase since 2001:
- 4.2% two-year increase compared with a 13.0% two-year increase in 2009
Chief Medical Officers (CMOs) were impacted to a slightly lesser degree, reporting:
- 5.7% two-year increase in 2011 compared with an 11.2% two-year increase in 2009
Medical Directors fared better than average, reporting:
- 7.6% two-year increase, an improvement compared with 4.9% two-year increase in 2009
Among selected titles:
- All show a positive difference in the median compensation for those with an MBA.
- Chief Medical Officer is the only title that reports a double-digit difference in compensation with an MBA (14%) or MMM (16%).
- Medical Directors follow CMOs in the positive difference (9%) in earning power with either an MBA or MMM.
