Patient records Notification to patients Non-compete and non-solicitation clauses Return of documents, computer, cell-phone Non-disparagement clause Medical malpractice insurance Purchase of medical equipment by physician Repayment of signing bonus/student loan payment
29 Consult with Counsel Physicians should never be coerced into employment with hospitals, health care systems, medical groups, insurance plans or any other entities.
