Physician Contract Length, Renewal, and When to Re-Negotiate

Physicians might expect their employment contracts to last around a couple years before they can choose to renew, with options to terminate the agreement beforehand if necessary. In reality, contract length, renewal terms, and termination language are not always so straightforward. The term length of a contract and other details surrounding it are important to review and even negotiate prior to signing. Sometimes, employers fail to include any specific contract end date or termination terms at all, in which case a physician will absolutely need to have those details added. Even when the basic terms are present, many contracts auto-renew, and they may only have a term length of one year after the initial length of two years. Understanding these intervals, how much notice you must provide to terminate a contract, and when are the best times to re-negotiate helps physicians maintain control of their careers. Physician contract attorneys Kyle Claussen and Brady Glissendorf discuss the typical contract term length and how it affects other parts of the agreement, including a physician's ability to renew, terminate, or re-negotiate. ----more---- About The Review Podcast by Resolve The business of medicine is constantly changing.

How to Interview for Private Practice Positions with Dr. Ryan Mire

While the majority of physicians are now employed by hospitals or large health systems, plenty of private practice options still exist. For physicians who find the right fit, working for a private practice can be extremely rewarding, offering greater autonomy and even higher compensation over time. However, interviewing and signing on with a private practice comes with its own set of nuances to consider. Dr. Ryan Mire, a private practice internal medicine physician and President Emeritus for the American College of Physicians (ACP), joins the show to provide insights and advice for physicians looking at private practice, including: * How an interview with a private practice differs from one with a health system * What physicians can do to distinguish themselves in these interviews * Which questions a physician should ask the interviewer(s) * How physicians can inquire about a practice's financials and partnership opportunities ----more---- About The Review Podcast by Resolve The business of medicine is constantly changing.

Regulations on and Enforceability of Physician Non-Competes

Non-competes have become more of a hot topic than ever before, following the FTC’s recent attempt to ban such clauses nationwide. This is especially true for physicians and others in the healthcare sector, where employers frequently leverage non-compete clauses against employees. While a nationwide ban never went into effect, some states have restricted or banned non-competes on their own. When faced with an employment contract that includes a non-compete, a physician must consider many factors before signing. Are there laws restricting non-competes in the physician’s state, county, or city? Is the geographic scope of the non-compete reasonable? What about the timeframe for which it will be active? Attorneys Bryce Krieger and Kyle Claussen explain the current regulations on non-competes, how they typically see these clauses structured, and which details may be considered reasonable or enforceable. ----more---- About The Review Podcast by Resolve The business of medicine is constantly changing.

Examples of Big Wins in Physician Contract Negotiations

While negotiating an employment contract often results in changes to its terms, sometimes the edits are more significant than others.

Physician contract attorneys Zach Beare and Kyle Claussen provide some examples of the biggest negotiation wins they have seen physicians achieve.
