Hi, I’m attorney Renee Osipov with Chelle Law here in Scottsdale, Arizona, and we draft physician employment agreements. An employment agreement is a legally binding document that’s integral to the success of your practice. They protect you from liability and set professional standards within your practice. Maybe tempting to use a template online that’s free or low cost and doesn’t take much of your time to create. However, this could be opening you up to costly consequences in the future.
Mistakes Physicians Make
These for the mass templates and contracts online are tailored to meet the unique needs of your healthcare practice. Specifically, they rarely address the ability for you to bill on behalf of your physician services. They don’t address confidentiality within patient records and materials. They rarely address non-solicitation of patients or employees, meaning that if the employed physician decides to leave your practice, he cannot entice or encourage patients or your employees to leave with him.
Physician Medical Contract
Also, they rarely craft non compete clauses to your needs, such as if you have multiple locations that the physician provides services at. And then lastly, they rarely provide objectives for your physicians, such as the hours that they work at your locations, call schedules, benefits, et cetera. And also most of these contracts do not comply with state or federal law. So it’s important to have an attorney draft and tailor a physician employment agreement to meet the unique needs of your practice.
