The pay for collaborating physicians can significantly differ from state to state, primarily due to two key regulatory factors: the maximum allowed ratios of Nurse Practitioners (NPs) and Physician Assistants (PAs) to physicians, and the geographic proximity requirements mandated by state law.
These ratios dictate the maximum number of NPs or PAs that a single physician can collaborate with, impacting the demand for and the workload of collaborating physicians in the state.
This pay range is based on Single Aim Health's comprehensive analysis of 435 pay data points, gathered from job postings and self-reports by collaborating physicians across the United States in early 2024, the recommended monthly compensation for a collaborating physician falls within the range of $600 to $750. This analysis encompasses a broad spectrum of specialties, with a significant emphasis on Internal Medicine and Family Medicine, reflecting a wide-ranging overview of the field. The presented pay range represents the 25th to 75th percentile of all the pay data available, indicating a benchmark for standard compensation in this role. It's important to note that while this range provides a general guideline, actual compensation may vary by state, accommodating for regional differences in demand and living costs.
