The compensation package at Baptist Health System reflects both the critical importance of cardiology services to our community and our commitment to physician well-being. Rather than viewing financial compensation as merely transactional, your package is designed to recognize your expertise, reward your contributions, and support your professional and personal goals. As a non-invasive cardiologist in this high-demand setting, you'll find that your financial rewards align with the significant value you bring to patients and the organization.
Your compensation structure begins with a market-competitive base salary guaranteed for your first one to two years, providing stability as you establish your practice. Following this initial period, you'll transition to a productivity-based model that rewards your clinical activity and patient care efforts. The high demand for cardiology services in this growing community means that physicians who are eager to build busy practices have excellent income potential.
The productivity-based compensation model uses a fair conversion factor that recognizes the value of general cardiology services. Highly productive general cardiologists in the Baptist Health System typically generate between 8,000–14,000 RVUs annually, with the most productive physicians reaching the 90th percentile ($865,000) in compensation nationally. Most of their Noninvasive Cardiologists are averaging the 75th percentile in compensation ($722,000). Quarterly production bonuses allow you to realize the financial benefits of your work without long waiting periods.
In addition to direct financial compensation, Baptist Health System provides a comprehensive benefits package designed to support your overall wellbeing. From health insurance that protects you and your family to retirement planning that secures your future, these benefits enhance the value of your compensation package while providing peace of mind. The combination of competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, and the lower cost of living in San Antonio creates an attractive financial proposition that compares favorably with opportunities in higher-cost metropolitan areas.
