CME Conference in Alaska
We encourage midwives to explore alternative compensation models that differ from the traditional wRVU-based system, such as measuring the number of patients per day or considering net profit margin percentage revenue, as these models offer a more equitable and rewarding approach in terms of bonuses and incentives.
What Are Other Bonus Compensation Models Common for Healthcare Providers?

As a Midwife, How Much Should I Charge?
Burnout is a major concern for healthcare providers, especially midwives, who are highly invested in their patients' care and may neglect their own well-being. With long work hours and night shifts, midwives are at risk of becoming physically and emotionally exhausted, potentially leading to shorter careers. It's important for midwives to take care of themselves so they can continue to provide excellent care to their patients!
Midwife Burnout
This update will include an overview of the new 2023 CMS guidelines for wRVU calculation. Many midwives are employed with contract that includes a bonus structure beyond base salary, Some contracts require midwives to ‘pay back’ a portion of their salary if they do not meet RVU benchmark metrics assigned to them. Do RVUs bring value to the midwife? Yes and No! From a bonus model it can be of value if the structure for payment distribution recognizes all contributing providers. However, RVUs can bring many challenges, hardships and lead to divisive practice politics. There remains scant publication related to midwifery and RVU assignment. This updated webinar provides information that will aid understanding, including current examples of redacted contracts discussing pros and cons of each. The free webinar will leave the listener with a better understanding of how RVUs influence compensation for all health providers, as well as alternative payment models to negotiate for midwives.
RVU Primer for Midwives: The 2023 Update
The best alternative to the RVU compensation is to not ask for any bonus compensation because it is taxed separately. Instead, get the best base salary possible! Join us TOMORROW Thursday, April 27th at 7 pm CST! Register here: https://growmidwives.com/webinar
What are other ideas to replace the RVU compensation model?
wRVUs can be fair for midwives if the variables that influence how they're awarded are transparent. There are key indicators as to whether wRVUs can be beneficial.
Are RVUs Fair for Midwives?
wRVU stands for Work Relative Value Unit. wRVUs were designed for equitably pay for physician services. We began to discover through our contract reviews that midwives were able to negotiate better based on wRVU metrics! Mark your calendar for Thursday, April 27th, 7 PM (cst) to attend the updated webinar on wRVUs.
