Primary Care Physicians Boost Income in 2010, Survey Finds


June 15, 2011 — Primary care physicians saw modest increases in their 2010 compensation, while some of their better-paid specialist colleagues lost ground, according to a new survey of almost 60,000 physicians around the United States from the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA).
In the Physician Compensation and Production Survey: 2011 Report Based on 2010 Data, internists were found to have earned a median of $205,379, which is an increase of 4.21% since 2009. Family physicians (without obstetrics) saw their median incomes rise by 2.94% to $189,402, and pediatricians had a compensation increase of 0.39% to $192,148, which did not keep up with the low inflation rate.
