Ochsner Clinic Foundation

Ochsner Clinic Foundation sponsored 68 H-1B applications in the available DOL filings — a moderate volume that typically reflects a company with a structured hiring program but not a continuous large-scale sponsorship operation.

Approval profile is essentially perfect: 99% approval rate across the 68 applications on file. A near-100% approval rate over meaningful volume signals a competent immigration counsel and well-prepared filings — the company is rarely getting RFEs or denials. On wages, Ochsner Clinic Foundation pays a meaningful premium: $135,166 average wage versus a prevailing-wage benchmark of $60,561, roughly 123% above the DOL prevailing-wage estimate for the same roles. Premium pay is one of the credible signals that the company values H-1B labor on its merits rather than as a low-cost substitute.

The top H-1B role at Ochsner Clinic Foundation is Medical Technologist ($53,638) — a medical or clinical position. H-1B sponsorship for clinical roles often runs through the J-1 waiver pathway and is concentrated in underserved areas where physician supply gaps are most acute. Most filings concentrate in 2 states (LA, PA), typical of companies with a primary headquarters office and a single secondary location.
