What Types of Physician Contracts Does Chelle Law Review?
Chelle Law reviews physician employment agreements, independent contractor agreements, resident and fellow offers, locum tenens agreements, compensation arrangements, restrictive covenants, termination provisions, malpractice obligations, and other agreements affecting physician employment.
What Does a Physician Contract Review Include?
A physician contract review may include analysis of compensation, RVU and productivity formulas, bonuses, call obligations, scheduling, malpractice insurance, tail coverage, non-compete and non-solicitation provisions, repayment obligations, termination rights, and other provisions affecting the physician’s financial and professional obligations.
Does Chelle Law Review Physician Contracts Nationwide?
Yes. Chelle Law provides attorney-led physician contract review services nationwide. The review can also address state-specific issues that may affect restrictive covenants, malpractice obligations, termination provisions, and other physician employment terms.
When Should a Physician Have an Employment Contract Reviewed?
Ideally, the contract should be reviewed before it is signed and before important employment terms are finalized. Reviewing the agreement early allows the physician to understand the proposed compensation structure, professional obligations, termination rights, restrictive covenants, and other provisions before becoming contractually committed.
Can a Physician Employment Contract Be Negotiated?
Many physician employment agreements contain provisions that may be clarified or negotiated, including compensation, productivity thresholds, signing bonuses, call obligations, restrictive covenants, malpractice responsibilities, termination notice periods, and repayment provisions. The employer’s willingness to modify particular terms varies by organization and position.
What Compensation Terms Should Physicians Review Before Signing?
Physicians should understand base salary, RVU or productivity formulas, conversion factors, thresholds, collections-based compensation, bonuses, reconciliation procedures, compensation guarantees, repayment obligations, and what happens to earned compensation when employment ends.
Why Are Malpractice and Tail Insurance Provisions Important in a Physician Contract?
The agreement should identify whether malpractice coverage is occurrence-based or claims-made, the applicable coverage limits, and who is responsible for tail insurance when employment ends. Tail coverage can create a significant financial obligation if the physician is required to purchase it personally.
Does Chelle Law Review Non-Compete and Termination Provisions in Physician Contracts?
Yes. Physician contract reviews include analysis of non-compete and non-solicitation provisions, geographic restrictions, duration, termination rights, notice requirements, repayment obligations, malpractice responsibilities, and other post-employment provisions that may affect a physician after leaving the position.
