Top executives from Partners HealthCare received pay raises of nearly 20 percent from fiscal year 2012 to fiscal year 2013.
The numbers come from tax documents released by each institution on Friday. Though comparisons among all hospitals are difficult, there were no hospital systems in Greater Boston where executives earned more.
Among Partners’ top earners, CEO Dr. Gary Gottlieb earned a 17 percent compensation bump, putting him at $2.61 million total compensation, which includes a base salary of $1.36 million and a number of other benefits and non-taxable expenses.
Brigham and Women’s Hospital CEO Dr. Elizabeth Nabel saw an 18 percent jump in total compensation, putting her at $2.38 million in the 2013 fiscal year. Dr. Peter Slavin, the president for Massachusetts General Hospital, also saw a 19 percent increase to $2.17 million in total compensation.
Eric Beyer, who served as CEO of Tufts Medical Center through September 2013, saw a similarly sized compensation increase. While he received $744,722 between the Tufts Medical Center and related organizations in fiscal year 2012, he earned $910,787 from Tufts the following year, an 18 percent increase.
Other institutions weren’t as generous with the pay raises. At Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, President Dr. Edward Benz received a 1 percent jump in compensation to $1.42 million.
With several interim CEOs working in Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center from 2011 to 2012, the salary figures are difficult to compare.
Kevin Tabb, who has worked as Beth Israel’s CEO since October 2011, earned $1.37 million in the 2013 fiscal year, 75 percent more than the compensation he collected for working for part of fiscal 2012.
Eric Buehrens, who served as interim CEO from February to October 2011, received a similar salary in fiscal year 2012 of $1.08 million. In fiscal 2013, the-now chief operating officer earned $739,744.
