Offices of Physicians H-1B Wage Premium
The DOL prevailing wage is the legal minimum an employer must pay for a given role, level, and location, not a target. Employers classified under Offices of Physicians (NAICS 6211) pay a median of 35.5% above that floor, but 19.8% of filings are at or within 1% of the legal minimum.
What "Wage Premium" Means
Every H-1B Labor Condition Application states a DOL-determined prevailing wage, the minimum legally required for that occupation, experience level, and worksite. Wage premium is how much an employer's actual offered wage exceeds that floor. A 0% premium means the filing states exactly the legal minimum; it is not evidence of a problem, but it means the offered wage carries no information beyond what the law already requires.
Premium varies enormously by employer within the same industry, some pay the floor on every filing, others consistently pay well above it. The table below is not a ranking of employer quality; it measures one thing only: how each employer's offered wage compares to the legal minimum for Offices of Physicians filings.
