What We Catch

The 10 Traps That Cost Physicians Most

These clauses appear in most contracts. Most physicians sign without understanding them.

×

Non-Compete Geography & Duration

A 30-mile radius clause in a major metro can lock you out of your entire specialty market. We flag anything above 15 miles or 1 year.

!️

Tail Malpractice Coverage

If the contract says you pay tail coverage on departure, that's $20K–$80K out of pocket. Should always be employer's responsibility.

RVU Thresholds & Compensation Formula

RVU targets above the 75th MGMA percentile are a trap. We benchmark your specific specialty against real market data.

Termination Without Cause

A 30-day without-cause termination clause means you can be let go on 30 days notice with no recourse. 90 days is the standard floor.

Automatic Renewal Traps

Contracts that auto-renew without opt-out windows lock you in beyond the initial term. We flag missing or short notice windows.

Partnership Track Language

"May be considered for partnership" is not a commitment. We flag vague partnership language and missing buy-in terms.

Call Schedule Obligations

Vague call requirements or unlimited call obligations in the first year are burnout accelerators. We flag uncapped call language.

$

Salary vs. Market Benchmarks

We compare your base salary to MGMA 2024 median for your specialty and region. Know if you're being underpaid before you sign.

Sample Physician Employment Agreement — Internal Medicine

Midwest Regional Health System · Analyzed March 2026 · 24 pages reviewed

Critical Issues (2)
Critical
Tail Coverage — Physician Responsibility on Departure

Section 8.4 requires physician to fund tail malpractice coverage upon termination. Estimated cost: $35,000–$65,000. Negotiate: Employer pays tail if terminated without cause; split if voluntary departure after 2+ years.

Critical
Non-Compete: 25-Mile Radius, 2 Years

Section 12.1 restricts practice within 25 miles for 24 months post-termination. In this MSA, that covers 3 major hospital systems. Negotiate: Reduce to 15 miles / 12 months, or add buyout clause ($50K ceiling).

Warnings (3)
Warning
Base Salary 11% Below MGMA Median for Internal Medicine

Offered $218,000. MGMA 2024 median for IM in Midwest: $245,000. You have clear market data to negotiate a $20–25K increase.

Warning
Termination Without Cause: 30-Day Notice

Section 9.2 allows employer to terminate without cause on 30 days notice. Industry standard is 60–90 days. Request 90-day notice period.

Warning
RVU Target Above 75th Percentile

Year 2 RVU target of 5,400 equals the 78th percentile for IM. High risk of missing bonus threshold. Request adjustment to 4,800 (60th percentile) or restructure compensation floor.

Informational (1)
Info
Partnership Track Language is Vague

Section 15.1 references "consideration for partnership after year 3" but includes no criteria, buy-in terms, or timeline. Request addendum with specific partnership eligibility criteria.

Pricing

What's Your Contract Worth to Review?

A single negotiation win covers this cost 100x over. The tail coverage clause alone is worth $35,000 to catch.
