Questions to ask the employer

  • Is $518,310–$838,846 base salary only, or expected total compensation including bonus and productivity?
  • The posted pay sits below what 114 Orthopedic Surgery physicians report (national median $782,500) — what closes that gap: productivity upside, bonus, equity, or schedule?
  • The posted range is wide — what specifically places a candidate at the top versus the bottom of it?
  • How is the productivity component calculated (wRVU rate, threshold, reconciliation cadence), and what did physicians here actually earn from it last year?
  • How many weeks of PTO and CME time are included, and is unused time paid out?
