This Foundation is actively recruiting. The ?Foundation? is a not-for-profit organization, which owns the capital, the real estate and buildings, and provides the staff, of which we have about 300. The physicians are members of the Medical Group, which is contracted with the Foundation as the sole provider. The Medical Group is a for-profit entity. All physicians start as a salaried associate for a year or two, then have the option to become a shareholder in the Medical Group, with a $1,000 buy-in, but no ownership of the assets. After becoming a shareholder a physician then goes at risk and participates in the compensation formula, which is basically a percentage of collected revenue, with a few minor adjustments based on annual RVUs as an incentive. As owners and shareholders of the Medical Group, physicians are their own employers, and pay their own benefits, mostly pre-tax. The total ?overhead? is very comparable to the other physicians in the community in private practice. In exchange for this, the Foundation pays the physicians professional liability insurance, does all the contracting with payors, and all the hiring/firing and billing/collections.
Orthopaedic Surgeon needed. 8 other ortho surgeons in the area; 2 year agreement, Salary $325K plus benefits, and $8,000 moving bonus. First-year bonus of $25,000 to be paid out $10,000 on start date, $5,000 at 6-months of employment, $10,000 at 12-months of employment and $10,000 at 18-months of employment; ER Call 1:6.
