Abrazo Medical Group offers a compensation structure designed to give an incoming physician financial stability in year one while rewarding productivity as the practice grows. The model reflects the group's confidence in the volume available in the West Valley market and the speed at which a new physician can build a full panel.
| Year One | Base guarantee plus production incentive |
|---|---|
| Year Two and Beyond | Full productivity-based compensation |
| Base Compensation | Competitive; based on experience and negotiated individually |
| Productivity Structure | RVU-based production |
| Earning Potential | Directly tied to clinical volume; no artificial ceiling |
The year one guarantee provides income security during the ramp period while the physician builds patient relationships and establishes cath lab block time. Moving to a full productivity model in year two reflects the reality of this market: physicians in the group report that volume is not a limiting factor. The West Valley is underserved, and established physicians in the group describe running at or beyond capacity. A physician who builds efficiently in year one is well positioned to maximize earnings from year two forward.
Compensation is competitive with market rates for interventional cardiology and is negotiated based on experience, training background, and career stage. The group will consider candidates at any level, and the offer will reflect that accordingly.
The productivity model is particularly well suited to this market for three reasons. First, the patient population is large, growing, and historically underserved by cardiology specialists, which means a new physician enters a market with built-in demand rather than having to compete for referrals. Second, the existing primary care referral network is established and active, with a seven-provider primary care group that has been embedded in the community for over 20 years. Third, the Level 1 Trauma Center and Cardiac Receiving Center designation at Abrazo West Campus generates consistent inpatient volume and procedural cases that contribute directly to RVU production.
