NCMGMA Medical Employee Salary & Benefits Survey Review Webinar on March 29th

NCMGMA Medical Employee Salary & Benefits Survey Review

Wednesday, March 29, 2023 | 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM EST | Zoom

Presented by Bernard Robinson & Company

Data Matters. Join us on March 29th as we hear from Tracy Martin, CPA, with BRC detail out 2022’s North Carolina-specific salary survey highlights along with important KPIs, and year-over-year salary trends.

It is essential healthcare practices review their complete compensation package (wages, salaries, benefits) annually to help attract and retain exceptional employees. By ensuring market-based competitiveness and maintaining internal equity, practices are more likely to retain their valued employees. Due to the unprecedented impact of COVID-19, 2021 healthcare practices continued to witness shifts in historical compensation practices.

After completing this webinar participants will:

• Hear the current state of healthcare compensation within North Carolina
• Learn to use survey data to update and validate current compensation/recruitment practices for the following areas:
  • Salary Administration
  • Nursing, Mid-Level & Other
  • Benefits
  • Office Staff
  • Laboratory & Radiology
• Hear additional KPIs and year-over-year trends based on data gathered through NCMGMA’s highly respected annual Medical Employee Salary & Benefits Survey.

Biden Administration to End COVID-19 PHE on May 11

Originally published in the February 2, 2023, issue of MGMA’s Washington Connection
Reprinted with permission from MGMA

The Biden Administration announced that it plans to end the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE) on May 11, 2023. This decision comes after multiple renewals over the past three years. MGMA appreciates that the Administration heeded our call to provide at least 90-days’ notice prior to concluding the PHE. The end of the PHE will have ramifications for a variety of flexibilities afforded by the pandemic over the last several years, such as HIPAA penalty waivers, controlled substance prescription waivers, and COVID-19 testing and treatment coverage.

For more information on the flexibilities that will conclude along with the PHE, download MGMA’s member-exclusive resource.
