New Law on Pennsylvania Physician Restrictive Covenants

Leave a Comment / Physician Contracts /

Pennsylvania physician restrictive covenants have been somewhat limited by 2024 legislation. This Act applies to physicians, CRNAs, CRNPs, and physician assistants. These categories are all lumped together and termed “health care practitioners” in the Act. Although the Act refers to health care practitioners throughout, I have used the term “physicians” in this article, because that

No Without-Cause Termination Clause? How Physicians Can Still End Their Employment Agreement

Leave a Comment / Physician Contracts /

Lately I have seen several physicians who want to terminate their employment before the term of their employment agreement ends where their agreement has no without-cause termination clause. Terminating physician employment outside of contractual provisions (i.e., where there is no contractual right to terminate) can lead to tricky negotiations. Physicians who want to leave but

HCA Physician Employment Agreements are not Carved in Stone

Pennsylvania Physician Contract Reviews

Leave a Comment / Physician Contracts /

How are Pennsylvania Physician Contract Reviews Different? Pennsylvania physician contract reviews are different from reviews in other states because of the (somewhat unusual based on my dealing with employers in many other states) balkanization of several large hospital systems.

Physician Prosperity Program


How It Works

After purchasing the physician contract review, you will receive an email asking you to transmit the agreement and any concerns you have to me. Many physicians do this by email, but I will be available by phone, too. In three business days from the time you purchase the Physician Prosperity Program® and transmit the draft physician employment agreement along with any concerns you have about the agreement and the information I will need to perform the MGMA analysis, you will receive a detailed physician contract review letter from me.

After you receive my physician contract review letter, you will have the opportunity to discuss it with me, to make sure all of your concerns were met, and to correct any factual inaccuracies, or to point out things that were verbally promised but didn’t make it into the physician employment agreement. These discussions, and revisions of the letter following these discussions, are included in the initial fixed fee.

Once you are completely comfortable with the physician contract review letter, you transmit the letter to your potential employer.
