October 10, 2024 | OnCall Solutions

Drawing from sources such as the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Salary.com, ZipRecruiter, and their own staffing experts, OnCall Solutions has written a guide to salary trends for APPs. This comprehensive review provides crucial insights for those negotiating NP, PA, or CRNA contracts. These include vital factors that are currently influencing compensation as well as trends to watch. Beyond years of experience, which affects compensation in most fields, there are several indicators to pay attention to:

• Location—Areas with higher costs of living, such as New York and California, and those in dire need of providers, such as rural areas, generally offer robust salary-and-benefits packages.
• Specialty—Those with additional training, such as CRNAs or PAs and NPs working in cardiology or oncology, tend to earn more.
• Type of employer—Hospital systems offer higher salaries and better benefits than private practices, but those may offer providers greater scheduling flexibility or profit-sharing arrangements.
• Telemedicine and increased practice scope—Virtual appointments allowing APPs to work remotely and states updating APP responsibilities, granting them greater independence with a broader work scope, are both trends reshaping the future of healthcare and contributing to increases in compensation.
