The total amount of cash compensation paid to physician assistants and nurse practitioners can vary significantly by region, according to a survey released Dec. 7 by consulting firm SullivanCotter.

The "2022 Advanced Practice Provider Compensation and Productivity Survey" examines advanced practice provider median total cash compensation, which includes base pay plus performance incentives. It is based on data for nearly 700 organizations, including hospitals, health systems, medical groups and academic medical centers, representing more than 100,000 individual advanced practice providers. The 2022 data reflects total cash compensation from Jan. 1, 2021, to Dec. 31, 2021.
