coachz1062 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 My doctor/employer (an OB/GYN practice) stated that I would be covered under his malpractice insurance. There is no language in the contract that he offered addressing this fact. I don't think that he left it out intentionally, because he has yet to hire a PA. Does anybody have good contractual language addressing the issue of employer-provided malpractice insurance? Obviously, I am looking for tail coverage. Also, can anybody comment on the following to let me know if this is okay for a new graduate: Salary: 80,000 Vacation: 3 weeks (should I ask to be able to carry these forward to future years?) CME: 1 week and expenses paid Sick time: 5 days Health Insurance: I will be on my husband's insurance policy 401(K): I can't participate until 2013, and there is no set match amount. This is based upon a larger provider's plan, of which this doctor participates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason09 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Well the salary is on the low side even IF you were getting health insurance through them. You need to ask a higher salary since this offer is low and you aren't getting health insurance. I would shoot for 90 and see what they counter with. You won't get a great salary but it would be better then what you have now. Also the 401K plan is not in your favor. 2013? I don't know when you are planning to work for them but that is a long way away. Don't want to sound negative, just wanted to give you an honest review.

Contrarian Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Umm... $80,000, fresh out of school as a unproven new grad, in southern IL. ir "Low"...???? To the OP: The offer looks good... and don;t worry about the insurance... its NOT a issue because that physician WILL NOT leave himself open to liability. The only insurance question or concern I would be sure to have in writing would be who will be responsible for "tail-coverage." YMMV Contrarian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachz1062 Posted August 18, 2011 Author Share Posted August 18, 2011 Thanks everybody! I appreciate your feedback. I got the cost of the average insurance premium for others added to my salary, verified the tail coverage, and got all professional dues covered, as well.
