What is the H-1B prevailing wage for Family Medicine Physicians?

For the 2026–27 wage year (July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2027), the Department of Labor publishes H-1B prevailing wages for Family Medicine Physicians (SOC 29-1215) in 530 U.S. wage areas. Across metro areas, the Level I wage ranges from $45,136 in Youngstown, OH to $222,498 in Cheyenne, WY, and the median Level IV wage across 69 major H-1B metros is $287,269. Because the weighted H-1B lottery gives one entry per wage level, location changes the outcome: an offer of $237,016, the typical Level III threshold, reaches Level IV (four entries) in 7 of 69 major metros but only Level II or below in 34. DHS projects selection odds of about 15%, 31%, 46% and 61% for Levels I to IV. The table below lists all four levels for every area, straight from the DOL OFLC wage file.
