Most revenue integrity professionals have seen gains in salary over the past year but some are also seeing a decline in essential benefits such as health coverage, according to the preliminary results of NAHRI’s 2023 Revenue Integrity Salary Survey.
Each year, NAHRI conducts its Revenue Integrity Salary Survey to benchmark salaries and benefits in the industry. The survey collects information such as job title, organization size and location, and professional and education background to develop a robust standard of revenue integrity salaries and to track trends in compensation, staffing, and revenue integrity program size. The results are published in the annual Revenue Integrity Salary Survey Report and can be used to develop professional growth plans and set and negotiate salaries.
