Interventional Cardiology Physician Salary in Massachusetts (2026)
A Interventional Cardiology physician practicing in Massachusetts can expect a base salary inside the national Interventional Cardiology band of $580K to $850K, with the median tracking close to $675K. The Massachusetts variation on that number is driven mostly by anchor-employer comp structure in Boston, Worcester, Springfield, Cambridge, Lowell and by shortage-area incentive stacking outside those metros — not by Massachusetts cost-of-living alone.

Where Interventional Cardiology offers land highest in Massachusetts
Massachusetts is dominated by Mass General Brigham, Beth Israel Lahey Health, Boston Children's, UMass Memorial, Tufts Medicine, and Steward Health Care. For Interventional Cardiology, the highest-comp Massachusetts opportunities I see are typically not in the urban core of Boston — they sit in rural and HPSA-designated counties where the same Interventional Cardiology role carries a 10-25% base premium plus signing bonuses of $30K-$100K and loan repayment of $50K-$200K layered on top of base. That stacking can push an Massachusetts Interventional Cardiology offer comfortably above the $850K national ceiling in year-one total cash.
Massachusetts incentive programs that boost Interventional Cardiology take-home
The Massachusetts Loan Repayment Program for Health Professionals supports primary care, behavioral health, and dental providers in HPSA sites. The Massachusetts Conrad State 30 J-1 waiver program is competitive and consistently filled. NHSC loan repayment is widely used across the state's FQHC network, particularly in Lawrence, Lowell, Springfield, and the Cape and Islands. For Interventional Cardiology specifically, these federal and state programs frequently add the equivalent of $30K-$60K per year of pre-tax value over the first three years of service.
How I benchmark a Interventional Cardiology offer in Massachusetts
When a Interventional Cardiology candidate sends me an Massachusetts offer, I check three things in order: (1) where the base lands inside the $580K–$850K band relative to MGMA regional percentiles, (2) the wRVU conversion factor and ramp/threshold structure, and (3) the call burden and stipend. Massachusetts's licensing pace also matters for ramp timing: The Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine licenses with a typical timeline of 90-150 days for US-trained physicians, which is longer than most other New England states.
