The new CEO of Montefiore Medicine pulled down $13 million from the hospital network — a year before even taking the top spot.

The non-profit’s flagship Bronx campuses led by Dr. Philip Ozuah cover some of the poorest communities in the country, and 85 percent of patients are enrolled in Medicaid or Medicare, federal programs for the needy or elderly.

Ozuah, 56, got a $9 million payout in early-retirement money in 2018 when he was president of the Montefiore Health System in addition to his $2.8 million salary and a bonus of $1.6 million, according to Montefiore’s latest tax filing.

But he didn’t retire. He became CEO of Montefiore Medicine, the umbrella organization for Montefiore’s 11 hospitals and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, in November 2019, taking over from the retiring Dr. Steven Safyer, 70.

Safyer’s 2018 compensation came to $8 million,  including an early retirement payout of $3.4 million.

Ozuah’s payout “had been earned over 13 years of service as an executive at Montefiore,” a hospital spokeswoman said.

His compensation put him among the highest paid hospital executives in New York City.

The 2018 compensation package for Dr. Steven Corwin, the head of New York-Presbysterian, came to $10.4 million.
