Purpose of position

Pay is dependent on several factors including relevant work experience and internal equity. Salary is just one component of the compensation package for employees. Gillette supports career progression and offers a competitive benefits package, including a retirement saving match, tuition and certification reimbursement, paid time off, and health and wellness benefits for .5 FTE and above.

Core Responsibilities and Duties

• Calculate provider- and specialty-level wRVUs and maintain historical trend data for seasonality and mix shifts

Ongoing Impact Modeling

• Model the productivity and compensation impact of RVU or coding changes (e.g., CMS efficiency adjustments, specialty mix shifts) by provider, specialty, and site

• Produce scenario comparisons (e.g., hold-harmless/shadow RVUs, adjusted dollar-per-wRVU, adjusted thresholds) for leadership review

• Run periodic “shadow vs. actual” tracking so variance can be explained before it surprises a provider or a budget

Reporting & Analytics Support

• Build and maintain the underlying performance and productivity reports that the Physician Compensation Program Specialist delivers to physicians, ensuring caluclation accuracy and clarity before physician-facing use

• Build and maintain recurring productivity/compensation dashboards (Excel and/or Power BI)

• Support annual budget and compensation-planning cycles with forecasts and year-over-year comparisons

Data Integrity, Documentation & Compliance Support

• Validate consistency of provider-level RVU and compensation data across coding, billing, and comp/HR systems; investigate and resolve discrepancies at the source

• Document modeling methodology and assumptions so results are reproducible and auditable

• Participate in relevant salary/productivity survey data submissions (e.g., MGMA DataDive) from a data-preparation standpoint

Other

• Act as the data resource for the Physician Compensation Program Specialist and Medical Staff Office on physician compensation data questions

• Coordinate with Gillette's enterprise Data Analytics/IT department as needed for source-system data access, extracts, and infrastructure — this role owns the physician compensation modeling itself

Relationship Building

• Builds effective relationships across the organization to accomplish the work and focus on patients/customers more effectively. Balances “getting results” with a concern for others’ needs. Works to achieve optimal joining of ideas, projects, services, and programs. Shows respect and appreciation for the ideas and contributions of others. Is trusted by all members of the work group.

Manage Change

Preferred

• Experience with SQL and/or BI tools (Power BI, Tableau)

• Exposure to MGMA benchmarking tools (DataDive, Physician Fee Schedule Tool) or similar survey data

Knowledge, Skills and Abilities

• Working knowledge of CPT/HCPCS coding, wRVU methodology, and the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule sufficient to build and maintain crosswalk tables

• Advanced Microsoft Excel skills; comfort building repeatable, auditable calculations and models

• Demonstrated ability to reconcile data across multiple source systems (PM, billing, coding, HR/comp) and identify and resolve discrepancies

• Comfort modeling “what-if” compensation scenarios (e.g., comparing pay under two different plan structures) with clear, defensible assumptions

• Ability to interpret and translate technical data findings for non-analyst audiences, including HR, finance, and physician leaders

• Ability to partner effectively with HR, the Physician Compensation Program Specialist, the Medical Staff Office, Coding, and IT/Analytics
