  1. Provider compensation increased, with primary care physicians receiving the biggest increase of 4.41 percent over the last year.
  2. The consumer price index rose 6.5 percent, exceeding most gains in physician compensation.
  3. Growth in median total compensation for primary care physicians doubled from 2.13 percent in 2021 to 4.41 percent in 2022.
  4. However, the increase in physician compensation couldn’t overtake the inflation rates of 7 percent in 2021 and 6.5 percent in 2022.
