Data Methodology

Our data is collected through anonymous, crowd-sourced physician submissions, with over 3,000 verified data points across 200+ specialties. Every submission passes multi-layer screening for accuracy, including outlier detection, employment verification, and compensation component validation.

Our reports combine proprietary SalaryDr physician compensation data with Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) OEWS published data for multi-source validation. This dual-source approach provides the independent verification that IRS examiners and FMV appraisers expect.

BLS OEWS cross-validated for every report

Who Uses Our Benchmark Data

Trusted by organizations that need defensible, independently sourced physician compensation data.

CPA & Valuation Firms

CPA firms performing IRS §482 transfer pricing analyses and Stark Law compliance reviews rely on independently sourced compensation data. Our reports include FTE-normalized percentile distributions and arm’s length determination language ready for inclusion in valuation reports and tax filings.

Common use: Fair Market Value (FMV) determinations, transfer pricing documentation, compensation reasonableness opinions.

Healthcare Organizations

Hospital systems and physician groups use benchmark data for physician recruitment, retention negotiations, and annual compensation reviews. Our reports provide multi-scope analysis (state, regional, national) with experience and practice setting breakdowns so administrators can position offers competitively.

Common use: Recruitment offers, compensation committee review, workforce planning, contract renewals.

Healthcare Attorneys

Law firms handling healthcare litigation, employment disputes, and regulatory compliance need credible compensation benchmarks. Our BLS-validated data provides the independent, multi-source verification that expert witnesses and regulatory bodies expect in legal proceedings.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fresh is the data?
Our data is collected on a rolling basis. Reports reflect the most recent submissions at the time of generation. National benchmarks typically contain data from the trailing 12-24 months. State and regional data may span a wider window to ensure sufficient sample sizes for statistical validity.
What if there isn't enough data for my specialty/state?
Before purchase, our configurator shows you exactly how many data points are available at each geographic scope (state, region, national). If a particular scope has fewer than 15 data points, we flag it as limited-confidence so you can make an informed decision. Regional and national benchmarks provide a fallback when state-level data is thin.
What is FTE normalization?
FTE (Full-Time Equivalent) normalization adjusts compensation figures to a standardized full-time basis, accounting for part-time physicians and varying work schedules. This is critical for IRS §482 arm's length comparisons and fair market value determinations, where apples-to-apples comparisons are required.
Can I get a refund?
Because reports are generated instantly and contain proprietary data, we do not offer refunds once a report has been accessed or downloaded. If you encounter a data quality issue, contact us and we will work to resolve it promptly.
Do you offer volume discounts?
Yes. Our Report Bundles offer 10 or 25 Premium Suite reports at significant per-report savings. Each bundle credit can be used for any specialty and geography combination. For larger volumes, contact sales@salarydr.com.
How is this different from MGMA or Sullivan Cotter?
Our data is crowd-sourced directly from physicians, providing a complementary and independent data source. Unlike survey-based vendors that rely on employer-reported figures, SalaryDr captures physician-reported compensation. Our reports also include BLS OEWS cross-validation for multi-source verification, at a fraction of the cost of traditional benchmarking subscriptions.
