Around 25 percent of orthopedists currently report offering new ancillary services that were not previously considered in their specialties in order to increase income, according to Medscape's Orthopedist Compensation Report: 2013. Orthopedists offering new ancillary services were higher compared to all physicians, with 19 percent reporting new ancillary services to increase income. However, 58 percent of orthopedists said they hadn't begun offering new ancillary services, despite potentially lower compensation. Thirty-nine percent of orthopedists in the same survey said their compensation decreased from 2011 to 2012, and 32 percent said it remained the same.
A rousing 61 percent said they don't feel fairly compensated.
