Physician Compensation Concern: How Do You Know If Your Job Offer is Fair?

ATTORNEY ADVERTISING

A common fear we hear from our physician clients is: "I don't want to sound greedy, but do you think this employer has offered me a fair compensation structure? Are they offering me enough?" It's human nature- we want to be paid fairly for what we do, and we also don't want to be perceived as asking for too much. So how do you strike the right balance when it comes to negotiating the dollars and cents in your physician employment agreement?

It all starts with knowing what the market is paying someone like you. Are you in the Midwest? On one of the coasts? A metropolitan or rural area? There are a lot of factors that play into what an employer is willing to offer you, and what they legally can offer you. As physician agents and attorneys, we specialize in offering this type of insight to our clients. We review the Medical Group Management Association's physician compensation survey and tell you whether we think your job offer is fair.

While we offer this compensation analysis as part of our Analyze and Shape contract review service, some clients have already weeded through much of their agreement, and only want insight on the compensation piece. So we are happy to offer that as well. For a low flat fee, we can provide our analysis on just the compensation figures that have been offered to you, and how they relate to the market where you will be practicing.
