| Putting a dollar figure on a doctor's worth to a hospital |
|
Info based on 114 U.S. hospitals responding in a survey by Merritt Hawkins
What's a doctor worth to a hospital in terms of annual revenue? And what specialties average the most and the least in hospital revenue generation?
The answer to the first question averages about $1.54 million a year, based on 114 U.S. hospital responding to a survey by physician recruiters Merritt Hawkins. That's up slightly from the $1.5 million a year per doc that hospitals averaged in revenue in 2007, the last time the recruiting outfit took the survey. (Revenue here means net inpatient and outpatient dollars derived from referrals, tests and procedures done in the hospital.)
Merritt Hawkins also asked about revenue generation in the last 12 months by 17 doctor specialties. Not all 114 hospitals replied for all specialists but below are the averages for the responses received.
