Jon Appino

Common signs you should renegotiate in 2026
👉 What the 2025 MGMA data actually shows — the numbers that moved, the specialties that jumped, and the ones that dropped
👉 How to benchmark your compensation using MGMA correctly — what the 50th percentile means, what it does not mean, and why most physicians misread it
👉 Starting salary vs. total compensation: why the gap is wider than ever and what it means for physicians signing right now
👉 RVU movement by specialty: which productivity benchmarks shifted in 2025 and how that affects bonus thresholds and comp plan math
👉 How to use this data before your next signing, renewal, or negotiation conversation
What you will learn:
❓ Is this just MGMA numbers on a slide?
No. Jon will walk through what the data means for real contracts — not just what it says.
❓ What if I already signed a contract?
Still relevant. The data applies to renewals, renegotiations, and understanding whether your current structure is aligned with the market.
❓ Can I ask questions live??
Yes. There will be a live Q&A. Jon will take specialty-specific questions.
❓ What if I cannot attend live??
Register anyway. The recording and resources go to all registrants.
Time is running out, so register now and secure your spot. Take control of your career and ensure the best compensation—don’t miss this opportunity!
