Trend is Toward Physicians Becoming Employed

In many parts of the country physicians are choosing to become employees of hospitals, healthcare systems, or large groups rather than face the unknown in their own private practices.  While there are some good reasons for this trend, physicians need to be aware of some of the risks.  A recent article highlights some of the issues that doctors should consider.

The main things to think about are giving up control of your practice, being forced to buy a tail for your medical malpractice insurance, paying more for premiums for your MedMal Coverage, and losing options and flexibility in your practice of medicine.  Please contact The Keane Insurance Group to get answers to your questions and to explore your options.
