Middle East - Children's Encyclopedia (Ages 8-11) The Middle East is the region around the southern and eastern shores of the Mediterranean Sea. It includes the countries that are located where the continents of Europe, Asia, and Africa meet. Geographers and historians do not always agree on which countries should be included in the Middle East.
How to Benchmark: Once you have calculated your overhead rate, compare it with the median levels reported by peer practices in your specialty. For example, the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) Cost Surveys report the specialty-specific overhead rates that can be used for benchmark comparison. For pediatric practices, the typical overhead rate approximates 60%; for orthopedic surgery practices, the overhead rate is lower, at 45%.
Orthopedic surgeons are the top earners in the 2016 survey, coming in at $443,000 up from $421,000 in last yearâs surveyâI guess all that unnecessary back surgery really pays off. (Just kidding! Or not!). Cardiologists came in 2nd place earning $410,000 per year (up from $376,000 last year). Plastic surgeons come in 8th from the top (down from 5th place last year) at $355,000âessentially unchanged from 2015. This is pretty interesting, considering a large percentage of cosmetic surgery is paid for out-of-pocket.
