Provider compensation decisions are becoming increasingly complex as health systems navigate sustained market competition, workforce shortages, affordability pressures, and heightened regulatory scrutiny. The 2026 MD Ranger benchmarks offer timely insight into how these dynamics are shaping clinical services, call coverage, administrative and leadership services, and hospital-based arrangements.

Join ECG principals Kate Taylor and Leanne Zimmerman for an upcoming webinar exploring key findings from the 2026 MD Ranger benchmarks and what they may mean for health systems evaluating physician compensation, coverage arrangements, and compliance risk.

What you’ll learn:

• How provider compensation pressures are shifting decisions from formulaic to more judgment-based approaches.
• Which difficult-to-recruit specialties are facing continued market pressure? Gastroenterology, anesthesiology, urology, orthopedic surgery, and radiology.
• What the 2026 benchmarks reveal about clinical service rates, ED call coverage trends, administrative and leadership payments, and hospital-based stipend arrangements.
• Why compliance considerations remain critical when developing, reviewing, and documenting provider compensation arrangements.
• Practical considerations for governance, review processes, thresholds for third-party FMV opinions, contracting procedures, and legal involvement.
