Primary-care physicians brought in more money, on average, than specialty doctors. Full Story
Primary-care physicians made more, on average, than specialty doctors, according to a study conducted by Irving-based Merritt Hawkins. Family physicians generated almost $2.07 million for their affiliated hospitals, in contrast to the average 1.45 million brought in by specialty doctors. This represents an increase of more than 24.3 percent for family doctors since the 2010 survey total of $1.66 million. Modern Physician noted the discrepancy might be due to the fact that specialty physicians require higher salaries and equipment or that primary-care physicians can be economical by using a low-cost prescription to avoid a later, costlier illness.
