A lack of published compensation data specific to physician short-term disability and salary continuation practices has left healthcare organizations nationally seeking guidance around market trends. With data from 55 US healthcare employers, Gallagher's 2024 Short-Term Disability & Salary Continuation Pulse Survey provides key insights about supplemental coverage, benefits design and more. This 5-minute video reviews the results.

Among the key findings:

  • 71% of healthcare organizations responding offer short-term disability/salary continuation.
  • The benefit period for most organizations lasts 80-182 days.
  • Organizations report various ways to protect the income of physicians on productivity models during medical leave, ranging from work relative value unit (WRVU) credit to compensation support.
