With 2020 dominated by the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare organizations have been anticipating the impact on provider compensation and productivity. Data from the AMGA 2021 Medical Group Compensation and Productivity Survey reveals that provider pay was relatively flat in 2020, but work relative value unit (wRVU) production declined significantly.
