Patient Compensation Tools
Patient Engagement Activities Framework
This document is a guide to gathering the data and assumptions necessary to use the fair-market value calculator.
Fair-Market Value (FMV) Calculator
This online FMV calculator can be used to determine compensation for patients, caregivers, and patient groups involved in “patient engagement activities” taking place between patient organizations and/or unaffiliated patients, and private companies. This calculator was created to provide an estimated, reasonable, and fair hourly compensation range. It does not include other expenses associated with patient engagement activities (e.g., travel, supplies, IRB fee) and is not intended to be used to assess the rate for access to research, data, or other-fee-for service applications as that will be case-specific. Troubleshooting: The browsers that work best with this tool are Chrome and Safari. If you are still experiencing difficulties please reach out to us at NHCprograms@nhcouncil.org with questions.
