Proballr32 Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Any thoughts on Team Health? They seem to offer a nice package. Would it be a good place for a new grad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator EMEDPA Posted October 25, 2010 Moderator Share Posted October 25, 2010 team health is a company that has contracts for many emergency depts, urgent cares, and hospitalist groups in many states. they may be the largest such group in the country, not sure. for a while they even sponsored an em residency for docs in florida. see TeamHealth | Hospital-Based Physician Services, Emergency Department Staffing, Emergency Medicine Staffing, Physician Staffing Services, Clinical Opportunities, Hospital Services for more info on the organization. I wasn't particularly impressed with their salary or benefits. for example their health care only covers the employee. if you want family coverage you have to pay for it out of your check. their cme and vacation are about 1/2 what most other groups cover an they didn't cover things like licences, dea and professional memberships. their retirement account is a basic 401k, nothing to write home about. their docs are great. good teachers and nice folks. the docs only get hourly +malpractice so they have to buy their owm bennies but they do pay their er docs $150-200/hr so hard to complain about that... it would be a good first job, especially in em because they will hire new grads and many places will not. they will male you work for your money though. many of their depts schedule 4 twelve hr shifts/week=full time.

Proballr32 Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 E, Thanks for the reply.... Team Health has actually offered a pretty nice package, at least I think so for a new grad. Here are the details: Small, rural facility (18,000 yearly volume) Contracted for 17 ten hour shifts/month @ $50/hr with the option to pick up as many extra shifts as I want $5/hr quarterly incentive bonus for meeting patient satisfaction goals $4,000 sign-on bonus to help with certification, dea, etc... $2000 and 40 hours CME 12 hours pto accrued monthly 8 paid holidays Full Benefits (including family coverage) and 401k Malpractice and Tail I was very impressed with the medical director I interviewed with, and everyone with Team Health has been very helpful and prompt so far. Nothing but thumbs up coming from me!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proballr32 Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 Forgot to mention that there is only one PA at this facility (who I would be replacing) who covers "peak time" from 2pm-12am. All in all, I would prefer to work 3 12's with the option to pick up extra shifts, but I guess for a new grad this is an ok offer. Thoughts?

cobramarty Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Where do TH ER Docs make $150-200/hr? I work for TH. Docs are paid as 1099 Independent Contractors and PA's are W-2 Employees. I think that you are misinformed about those docs rates. As for the hourly rate, That package is very good. You have to compare apples to apples when looking at hourly wage. Employee vs. Independent Contractor. There is a big difference. $50 hourly rate 5 incentive bonus 2 SignOn bonus value $4000/2000hrs/yr 2 $2000 + 40hr x $50 3.6 12hr PTO x 12mo @$50 1.6 8 x 8hr holiday 3-10 health ins. +10% full share of SocSec and Medicare tax (IC pay full 15%SS and 3%MC tax where the Employee/Employer each pay half) All total about $75/hr equivalent. So we all cheer at "$75/hr" and sneer at "$50/hr" but I would rather get the $50/hr as an employee. The more you make, the more taxes you pay. It is better to make less 'money' and get more benefits. It kind of sounds backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobramarty Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Country regions make a big difference in pay ranges. In the northeast wages are definitely depressed. Philadelphia is one of the worst. Lucky me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajnelson Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 I work IC with team health, base salary then bonus based on RVU system. So, they do have different pay scales for MDs and PAs depending on the area, just FYI! Overall, I've been happy with them as a group, pretty supportive, easy to get along with and always willing to teach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukefan Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Hey Proballr32. I graduate in August and have been looking into working for Team Health. Did you end up signing with them? If so, how has it been? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devildog Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 pacific nw. Division is nw emergency physicians. True that. Even here in the south they hit 150 easy.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator EMEDPA Posted March 17, 2011 Moderator Share Posted March 17, 2011 talked to a team health rep yesterday at a conference. they still don't cover 100% of your family's medical coverage. they cover "most of it". not good enough. demand full coverage for your whole family for medical/dental/vision. you're worth it.

treejay Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 pacific nw. Division is nw emergency physicians. Does NW Emergency Physicians employ PA's in the northwest? If not, what branch of their company does? They provide the docs to my local ER. (no PAs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator EMEDPA Posted March 18, 2011 Moderator Share Posted March 18, 2011 yup, they run a bunch of community, rural, and suburban hospitals. look at their website. most use pa's. good docs. pay is ok. benefits could be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x98peterson Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Here is what I was offered: I am a PA with Urgent care experience of 10 years. They told me some shifts will be fast track, some in front ED. 75/hr to start for 3 to 6mo (they are changing EMR systems so this will vary). Then it is based on RVU's after that. If you work less than 108 hrs a month, you pay $6 hr into a pool that you loose to the providers who work more than 108 hrs/mo. Independent contractor. They do cover malpractice with tail and claims made. We haven't gotten into vacation. I was offered no health insurance. I was told I can pick my own hours. Part time or full time. I am in Colorado. Still waiting to meet with medical director. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
browndog Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I wonder if TeamHealth is moving towards RVU based compensation globally? Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator EMEDPA Posted June 19, 2011 Moderator Share Posted June 19, 2011 I still would like to see them pay 100% of medical/dental/vision for pa and family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montanapup Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 TOTALLY AGREE! Their "comprehensive" med/dental/vision is enough that it eats into wages earned, but they assure that one makes up for it in incentive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
