Clinical privileges question
I left my job recently (private practice set up) and my clinical privileges at a hospital (no direct clinical role there-- just mainly for insurance purposes) was automatically suspended due to my malpractice insurance ending for that practice. I was left with the option to either resign my privileges (would have to reapply for privileges if I need it again in the future) or keep it suspended until a new COI for my malpractice insurance was submitted. I will be starting work again with...

What would you do before you left a practice? Proactive steps.
Hey y’all ,
Looks like I’ll be leaving my current setup.
What do y’all suggest I do before I leave so I can hit the ground running for my next practice?
For example, copy all dot phrases and op notes, ask about malpractice for the next employer, copy my common orders, re-read the contract so I’m not breaking anything, get letters of recommendations, etc. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

SNF/SAR Private Practice for PM & R Docs
I've been seeing a lot of talk recently about SNF/SAR work from PM&R attendings and residents. There's a couple big companies that I've seen offer splits (always majority in our favor like 70% collections we keep) on a 1099 but why not just go to the facility directly and set things up? Does anyone do this? You get your own billing service, malpractice etc. and bill directly which would yield a much better split in our favor. Why allow these middlemen companies to take a cut? I understand...

About to sign my first attending contract; what are things I need to absolutely be sure are included in it?
About to sign my first contract to be a hospitalist. It’s with a large well known medical group.
There are things that I know must be included in the contract, or that I need to be aware of.
For instance, I know that tail coverage needs to be included in the malpractice insurance that is included in the contract.
What other things are important to know in your contract and/or are things that I must have in there? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Thoughts on this job?
I recently found a job that pays around ~$130 per ED tele consult, 1099, no overhead cost (malpractice and licensing are done by the company). Average consult per hour is about 1.5, and there are no shortages of consult per company representative (no consult=no money). The downside is that I need to do minimum of 1 year.
Any thoughts? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Ask a dentist online side gig
-Can you make money by answering people’s questions online as a licensed dentist? Like a site where people chat questions to you as a dentist.
-If these aren’t virtual appointments and you aren’t diagnosing/prescribing and you are just answering general questions people have, does this need to be be covered by malpractice? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Occasional optho coverage
I'm friends with the nurse manager of a local optho center. She's asked if I can cover a few days a month when they can't get a CRNA. They've offered to either let me do my own billing or suggest an hourly rate. This would be a 1099 deal and I would need my own malpractice coverage.
I've never worked on my own like this so I'd love some advice on how to get this going properly. Specifically, what information would I need to decide between billing myself or taking an hourly rate? I'm...

How do you manage anxiety about malpractice?
I have a colleague who just had a bad outcome with a patient and it just makes me so nervous. I work in a high litigation state with no protections. I have multiple borderline patients. How do you guys deal with it? Suicide rates going up. I'm barely out of training. No one really talks about this. Everyone seems terrified. Everyone tells you to document well, but what happens if you get sued? Do you go broke? Is your career over? No one wants to talk about this. How do you guys deal with it?

Indemnification clause: please help..
Indemnification clause: what are your thoughts on having this in a contract?
My understanding is that it puts me at huge risk for liability and malpractice does not typically cover this.
How would I get it removed? If they refuse, is it worth the risk signing?
Also, any other ways to protect self if one is included in a signed contract? Ie other types of insurance (Source: Student Doctor Network)

I’m planning on leaving my employed position and going to a private practice. They don’t provide malpractice so I need to purchase my own. I feel pretty lost any advice? Ballpark prices I’ll be looking at? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

I have been looking at locums options for a change of pace. Something I have always wondered as I know where I worked prior fired someone for cause and I know people get malpractice suits. How do these psychiatrists get jobs later on? I am constantly asked about 10-15 questions regarding have you ever had this that or the other happen like malpractice, terminated, lost privileges, professional organization, etc. Like most I worry about a malpractice suit that is BS just because we deal...
