The physician agency

The world's first physician agency.

Athletes have agents. Entertainers have agents. The professionals who save lives negotiate alone. MDEnvoy is long-term, physician-side representation across contracts, career, brand, and life.

The value gap

You produce like a franchise player. You negotiate like a rookie.

up to $4M / yr

Value you generate

Annual revenue an elite physician or surgeon can generate for a health system. Yet most negotiate their own contracts, alone.

77.6%

Physicians now employed

Share of U.S. physicians employed by hospitals, health systems, or corporate entities. Employment means negotiation, and negotiation rewards representation.

118 days

Time to replace you

Median days for a health system to fill an open physician role. The leverage in that number belongs to physicians who know it.

Know your number

What is your market value?

Four questions. No email required. Benchmarked against national compensation surveys of more than 200,000 physicians.

Estimated market range
$611,000
$538,000$703,000

That midpoint sits $225,000 above the all-physician national average. Physicians who know their range negotiate differently.

Concept demonstration. Base figures: Medscape Physician Compensation Report 2026 national averages (neurosurgery per Doximity 2025). Region, tenure, and practice-model adjustments are illustrative. Your actual market value depends on production, payer mix, and local demand: exactly what your agent models with you.
