Analysis:
Spine surgeons who are compensated by hospital ownership received $717,125 on average while physician partners and shareholders in the practices received $605,772 on average, which was also less than spine surgeons who weren’t shareholders in a practice. Non-shareholders made $683,091 on average, which is $77,319 more than shareholders.
Of the statistics reported, spine surgeons were among the only orthopedic subspecialty to receive less as a non-shareholder in a practice than physician partners. However, they did follow the trend of receiving higher compensation from hospital employment as opposed to practice ownership.
