Does anyone know what the 2023 or even more current MGMA and other big pay databanks for oncology per RVU reimbursement are?
I'm in a historically competitive and hence generally lower paying metro area (also with high taxes ughhh...). Nonetheless, I was able to find a hospital/insurer position that once you met thresholds, you were invited to the more lucrative RVU based system. Essentially you'd receive a draw throughout the year with an expectation on both sides you would surpass by 10% or more by the end of year and we settle then with a bonus/catch up check. The CF given was essentially the RVU average of the MGMA and two other data banks median reimbursement/RVU for your given specialty. At the end of the year up 2021, it equated to about $99 and some change. Prior and up to I was doing like 5500-7500 per year depending up until then. I never followed closely to confirm the accuracy of my production, but you would receive monthly RVU reports to watch and confirm you were producing to pass the draw/base rate to confirm you would get bonus and no surprises to anyone involved. Of note, they used the same CF for other specialties. Oncology was the highest/RVU, but as you all know, our RVU are some of the hardest to get...
Mid 2022, the RVU went up substantially with the numbers they were giving without a considerable change in my practice. Like 18-19% by my calculation. I confirmed with colleagues who saw the same. By the end of the year, they were basically like, CMS increased the RVU for the work you do, we cant just give everyone an 18% pay raise/bonus this year even though the RVU went up that much. This was understood ultimately it was agreed for onc specifically to be $84ish, which considering the random 18% in RVU without extra work, is still like 3-4% raise so everyone agreed. Since then there has been further negotiation between the primary care, hospitalists, specialists, medical officers, c-suite and laywers/advisors on both sides. For 2023, no change so 84ish. Last I heard there may be another 3% or something this year.
Did anyone else have similar changes in RVU? Does anyone know the most recent medians and even other percentiles for MGMA or other data banks. Its too soon for me to throw down a a few hundred to talk to some lawyers that may have it, and I'm deferring to my superiors that the negotiations are honest.
Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated!
