They take 35-40% of what you bring in with insurance for administrative costs but provide limited administrative support. For example, I did all of my own scheduling and prior authorizations, called pharmacies, etc. Other than providing a steady stream of patient referrals and dealing with insurance, I am not sure what that 40% of my earnings provided. After leaving to start my own practice, I attempted to apply for privileges at an area hospital and they refused to provide a professional reference / performance evaluation as that is the company policy in the handbook. They also screwed up pay for my maternity leave in two separate ways and were resistant to fixing their errors. Medical benefits are extremely expensive and stock incentives are difficult to earn and worth almost nothing because their stock sucks. There is no team building so you operate as an isolated provider. There are no opportunities for career advancement.
