Is my data secure?
Only Premier ASOA members identified as the Practice Account Owner will be able to enter and view the deidentified data for the practice. Practices providing data will be kept confidential and anonymous and will not be able to be identified by other users. This ensures that sensitive compensation information remains protected while still allowing valuable benchmarking comparisons.
The data is pooled across respondents and structured so that only anonymous, aggregated statistics can be viewed. No practice's individual responses can be seen by any other participant.
How do I access the compensation survey?
The survey is only accessible by ASOA Premier members. Once practices input required data, ASOA Premier members will receive automatic access to the survey results at no additional cost as part of their membership benefits. Not a Premier member? You can join or upgrade your membership level today by emailing your name and member ID (if known) to asoa@asoa.org and an ASOA team member will get back with you within 24-48 business hours.
