No Visa's. Must be BC/BE. Join a facility that has clinics all along the Gulf Coast. The group was started about 15 years ago by some local physicians that wanted to focus on the clinical aspect of medicine and not have to handle the business headaches of running their own practice. The group is a part of a hospital, but not a hospital owned group. Instead, the group is run by a board of physicians that set policy, compensation, etc. This allows individual physicians in the group to have a lot of autonomy while also having the support of a very experienced administrative team.
The biggest need is for traditional Internal Medicine in which the physician sees patients in the office as well as rounding on patients in the hospital. The office is located very close to the hospital and there are other Internal Medicine physicians in that location (set up in pods with their own staff and waiting rooms). They all share call with another group. Currently the call is 1:7. In a seperate location, the office is also located very close to the hospital and the call is currently 1:5. In both locations, they have a hospitalist program, so the doctors only see patients that belong to their group. In other words, there is no call for unassigned patients. This makes things very manageable for the doctor that is on-call that night.
We also have need for outpatient only Internal Medicine physicians. Basically this is a clinic based practice and if the patient needs to be admitted to the hospital, the hospitalist will admit them. These are in areas located too far from the hospital to make it feasible for a physician to make daily rounds.
In both situations, compensation is very competitive with a low base salary and incentive bonus based on production. One of the positives is that they pay on charges not collections. They do not want the physician to be penalized if they do a bad job collecting or if there is a bad payor mix (Although neither is the case. They are very good at collecting and they have a varied payor mix in this area). Physicians are paid real time; meaning that they get a check on the 15th of each month for whatever bonus they earned the previous month. They have found that this is very motivating for hard-working doctors. They also provide a very robust benefits package that includes malpractice with prepaid tail, medical, dental, vision, retirement, and much more.
