When it comes to compensating health care providers, pharmaceutical and medical device companies need to establish clear standards of payments to remain compliant and in good competitive standing in the industry. However, establishing precise fair market value (FMV) compensation rates is a challenge which requires that manufacturers take into account multiple factors including thought leader tiers, geographic region, therapeutic area, and activity type.

Best Practices, LLC undertook this benchmarking research to examine FMV levels and key trends in FMV compensation rates for thought leaders across KOL tiers, therapeutic areas, countries, and activities. The report also provides FMV compensation rates for event preparation and for non-specialists.

Study Snapshot

Best Practices, LLC engaged 30 Medical Affairs and Marketing leaders from 26 pharmaceutical, biotech, medical device and 3rd party providers from across the globe in this research through a benchmarking survey. Sixty percent of the participants serve at the Director level and above. Half of the respondents were from the U.S.

Key topics covered in this report include:

  • FMV compensation for different levels of thought leaders
  • FMV compensation for different regions and therapeutic areas
  • FMV compensation for different physician activities
  • FMV compensation paid to non-specialists

Key Findings

Select key insights uncovered from this report are noted below. Detailed findings are available in the full report.


  • Most Companies Have Set Maximum FMV Rates: More than 75 percent have defined maximum FMV rates for KOLs. Close to 40 percent differentiate maximum FMV rates based on both country and therapeutic area. About half have set annual compensation limit to handle all KOL interactions.
  • KOL’s Authority and Experience Matter While Setting Honoraria Rates: KOL’s authority in disease state and their experience level are the highly effective criteria for setting FMV rates at 54 and 33 percent of benchmarked companies, respectively.
