Medical Practice Fixed Asset Appraisals - How to Prepare for Your FFE Site Visit
A typical medical practice is full of assets – from the coffee maker to the exam tables to the otoscopes.

Applying a Pharma Matrix to Physician Influencer Compensation
Pharma and medical device companies routinely use tiering matrices to set fair market value (FMV) compensation for physician consultants and speakers. These frameworks score physicians on objective criteria like board certifications, years of experience, publication record, and conference presentations, then assign a compensation tier accordingly.

Projecting Physician Work RVU Productivity Without Survey Data
Physician employers often rely on published surveys to estimate the number of work relative value units (“wRVUs”) they can expect from their doctors. While survey data is helpful, it can be expensive and difficult to obtain. Instead of relying on survey data, employers can use a bottom-up approach to determine the level of wRVUs they should expect from their providers. For some specialties, projecting physician wRVUs from the bottom up can be a relatively simple exercise. For
