Don't Settle for the Wrong Benchmark

Physician compensation can vary dramatically—even for the same specialty and location. If you're relying on crowdsourced forums or biased employer reports, you may be working with incomplete, outdated, or intentionally skewed data.

Resolve rData — Resolve's proprietary data from thousands of contract submissions. Explore on the Resolve rData homepage.

You deserve better.

Here's how common data sources stack up:

1-Jul-24-2025-09-15-16-0892-PM

Verified Physician Contracts (Highest Quality)

 Pulled directly from signed contracts—includes base, bonus, wRVU, benefits, and more. 

✔  Real offers. No estimates. Legally binding.

Use when: Negotiating, job searching, or comparing active market rates.

2-Jul-24-2025-09-15-24-3956-PM

Employer-Reported Data (Moderate Quality) 

 Reported by hospitals or HR through surveys. Organized—but often biased to favor employers.

Use when: Getting a general sense of trends, but be mindful of potential strategic framing

3-Jul-24-2025-09-15-32-3214-PM

Physician-Crowdsourced Data (Lowest Quality)

 Shared informally via forums, surveys, or peer convos. Often inconsistent, incomplete, or unverifiable.

Use when: Seeking anecdotal insight—not actual benchmarks.

Quick and Easy

I worked with Bryce Krieger. He was very knowledgeable regarding physician contracts and standard terms. He helped me understand some of the clauses that I hadn't seen before in other contracts. I was able to negotiate (after his guidance) and get all of the corrections he recommended. I am so grateful for his expertise to set me up for success in my new role. I also appreciated access to the compensation data through this process.

Thank you Kyle and Brady!

A lot of doctors I’ve seen on forums like to ask if Resolve will negotiate for you. They were willing to do that, but for my situation, it worked out better to negotiate myself with their feedback and insight in the background. I felt exceedingly more confident going into the negotiation process with their insight from looking at a plethora of doctor contracts along with MGMA and Resolve contract data.

Invaluable tools and unmatched support

The Resolve platform and team were fantastic from start to finish. The data they are able to provide is extremely helpful in the entire process. Zach was thorough, incredibly responsive and made what can be a stressful process painless and straightforward. I will be using Resolve again in the future.
