What rheumatologists make

Median

$236,000

Bottom tenth

$66,260

Survey cap

$239,200

The median on this survey line is $236,000 a year. The federal survey has no line for rheumatology, so the figure comes from Physicians, All Other, a catch-all for specialties it does not name separately. The top tenth is not published: reporting stops at $239,200 and anything above is recorded only as at or above that. The survey also counts only employed doctors, not those who own their practice.
