Advanced Practice Provider (APP) compensation model alignment is strategically important, but often overlooked or simply not addressed. Although APP compensation may be able to mirror the physician model by specialty, the process often requires a concomitant review of related business operations.
HGS can help engineer practical, sustainable, and well-accepted APP compensation models and associated business practices that promote team-based care and support organizational goals and objectives.

RELATED THOUGHT LEADERSHIP
APP Collaboration and Physician Compensation
Advanced Practice Provider (APP) collaboration presents a spectrum of physician involvement that varies according to experience. The effort required to fulfill these expectations should be appropriately recognized in the physician compensation model.
Advanced Practice Providers (APPs): Who Are We Talking About?
Since the nation does not currently embrace a common naming convention, HSG has adopted using Advance Practice Providers (APPs) as the naming convention for non-physician, direct care providers in the office setting.
APP Employment and Compensation Models to Optimize Alignment
Advanced Practice Provider (APP) employment methodologies and compensation philosophies should be reviewed to maximize alignment with organizational goals and objectives.
TESTIMONIALS
“HSG’s expert assistance was invaluable in our work to successfully revise our physician and Advance Practice Provider (APP) compensation models. Proactively involving direct physician and APP participation in model development generated understanding, acceptance, and ownership of the proposed changes. In addition, HSG identified specific operational items impacting our ability to effectively convert our primary care APPs from a straight salary to a model that parallels the physicians. Even after the project ended, they unhesitatingly provided clarification and further assistance when questions arose. We would not have been able to achieve these timely results without HSG’s support.”
