#1 Choice For Physician Contract Review
The Most Comprehensive Physician Employment Contract Review – All 50 States – Every Physician Specialty – Customized to your personal situation.

We have helped many thousands of physicians, just like you, in all states and areas of specialty get a better contract. Let us help you too – it’s our only craft and passion.
We remove your stress and frustration from the contract review and negotiations process, so you get a great contract that you can be proud of.
Compensation & Benefit Review
We review your salary, signing incentives (signing bonus, stipends, loans, relocation) as well as all bonus structures (wRVU, collections, quality, performance, citizenship, etc) PLUS your benefits in total. Your malpractice insurance will be clear – and your obligations during and after your agreement will be understood. We provide a ‘total market view’ on how the entire compensation package lines up – how do we know?? It’s all we do here.
Compensation Benchmark
We do discuss your compensation many times – you will fully understand all provisions regarding how you trade your time for money. This is an equation we take seriously here. You will understand your obligations, market norms and trends, and how your pay benchmarks to the area and your peers. We do see many discrepancies in pay – don’t be one! Have us walk you through what you need to know.
Contract Education
We do not just review it – we educate you on the contract. We take the time to review the entire document with you, answer all your questions (we do not charge per email or per hour), and make sure you know how to do the due diligence at this important time in your career. We are able to handle all situations as they come, customize to your particular story. New Grad? 20 years experience? Signing long term? Only there a few years? Nervous about the discussion? Too outspoken? We will customize our approach to YOU and your needs. It’s all we do.
Restrictive Covenants Review
We review any restrictions, non-competes, interference, solicitation clauses as well as your obligations for termination. You will know not only what it says, but HOW to discuss with the employer to ensure a ‘fair shake’ with market norms and your peers.
Contract Negotiation
Not comfortable negotiating? We prep you on how to negotiate and how to ask so you get a great contract.

Why Do You Need Compensation Rx?

We know whether or not you are getting paid fairly for the efforts you make daily!
It is no secret that physician compensation can be a difficult discussion with potential employers. We make it a simple one.
We know there is no easy way to currently talk about this topic.
Discussing physician compensation is often taboo. Having an independent third party to discuss your personal situation confidentially is invaluable.
With over a decade serving physicians, we are the only firm in the country focused on helping physicians (not hospitals) understand and discuss pay.
Hospitals pay tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars to consultants and large organizations each year to determine how little they can pay you. We are the only firm in the country focusing on the physician in this equation.
You have no training in this.
Physicians are well trained in their respective roles as clinicians and scientists. Unfortunately, you are not trained in evaluating physician compensation and how to have these stressful conversations. We love to listen and share with you what we have learned over a decade in this market. We are experts in negotiating and discussing physician compensation.
Healthcare is drastically changing.
As the finances of healthcare change, so does how an employer looks to physician compensation and their highest-paid employees, i.e., physicians. They are armed with data, contracts, consultants, and knowledge that you are not. We balance this by arming you with the data, knowledge, and your consultant throughout the process. We then help coach you on how to best proceed (or we can have this conversation with your employer for you if you wish).
You do not have to have this difficult conversation, but you should.
When it comes to your pay, you can do two things: 1) Ignore the discussion and let the employer dictate it; 2) Play an active role in understanding it, negotiating it, and being involved in it.
We Are Experienced In Every Physician Specialty In All 50 States.
We have done Physician Contract Reviews since 2011, for every specialty, in ALL 50 States, from Nurse Practitioners and CRNAs to the most highly sub-specialized surgeon. We are genuinely focused on you as the provider and understand ALL the variations in your particular market. We have raw, internal data from over 10,000 Physicians we have served, providing crystal-clear clarity on actual physician compensation data. Our data is real-time, so there is no national survey lag (typically 14-20 months behind).
We Coach You Through The Negotiation.
We provide you with a 30-minute phone call with one of our physician compensation review specialists. You have the option to have ongoing support and personalized coaching on how to negotiate your contract in a style that fits your personality. Part-time Pediatrician in your first agreement? 20-year Cardiothoracic Surgeon on to your 4th program creation? We know your situation and how to customize our process to YOU. We genuinely have your back.
Super fast turnaround time and very helpful responses in contract review. We had used an independent lawyer for a previous job that cost three times as much and was not nearly as helpful. Would definitely recommend to my colleagues and would use again in the future.
