[NP-Clinical] contracts and negotiating for new clinic

[Priscilla Merrill]

Will he be paying your taxes?  Are you going to be a sub-contractor or
employee?  This vastly affects your hourly. If you’ll be self-employed, get
incorporated.

 If benefits and having him pay your taxes, $50 sounds fair BUT if you’re
going to be doing your own social security and taxes, it should be much
higher.  What are the expectations as far as overtime, weekends, call as
things get busier? 

Trust you gut.  Do you like the doc?  It’d be nice to know why the PA
already quit.  IS there a way to contact him  or her for the inside story?

There are SO MANY factors.  I think contacting Carolyn Buppert would be a
great idea for a contract.  Her books are very helpful as is Carolyn
Zaumeyer’s.  Give this lots of thought and make things crystal clear with
him so there are no surprises.

There is a private practice listserve that is more detailed with all of this
stuff if it’s still up and running.

Having “been there done that”, I wish you well and just be careful to get
communication clear up front.

Best wishes,

 

Priscilla

I know  this has been discussed ad nauseum, but i am need of some quick tips
for a meeting on tuesday.

I am being invited to join a brand new integrative med clinic. I am being
given the opportunity to build my own primary care (adult) practice with
some features like urgent care on saturday, and maybe sports and work
physicals.  It has been opened 4 wks and the pts are just trickiling in. The
PA quit already 'she wasn't ready to return to work'.

 

I can start with no income or bennies--that is it would be my own practice
to build or

I can be offered some sort of base salary plus % still no bennies. overhead
is $30/hr. There is a receptionist and RN. And a temp plebotomist (the doc
was excited to know i could draw blood, etc).

 

The doc does not know how much to pay an NP (I said $50/hr or 70-75k/yr)-he
said once the clinic got busy i'd be making more than that.

 

i need advice on those who have gone before me.  Do you have a sample
contract to share? Haveyou beenin on the start-up of a new clinic where
funds are low? What did you negotiate?

 

Thank you, Paula
