About the 2017 MSP Salary Survey

Each year, HCPro’s Credentialing Resource Center (CRC) team conducts the MSP Salary Survey to measure the compensation rates, essential duties, and other workplace trends shaping the careers of MSPs across the country. With this information, we create timely resources that align with MSPs’ top training and development needs, such as the 2016 MSP Salary Survey Special Report.

To ensure our data reflect the national medical staff services landscape, we need your help. Please take a few moments to share your professional experiences in the 2017 MSP Salary Survey. In recognition of your rapidly evolving profession, this year’s survey features new and improved questions and response options, developed with input from MSPs working in credentialing environments ranging from acute care hospitals and ambulatory centers to CVOs and health plans.

To show our thanks, we will select one respondent at random to win either of the following complimentary products (winner’s choice): Negligent Credentialing: Strategies for Reducing Hospital Risk (book) or “Telemedicine: Performing Effective Credentialing, Privileging, and Peer Review for Remote Practitioners” (on-demand webinar). To enter to win, please include your contact information at the end of the survey once you have answered the questions.
