AI could help physicians see more patients in less time. But who benefits financially? 44% of physicians surveyed by Doximity said physicians should primarily benefit when AI increases clinical productivity. Does your contract address that possibility? #ContractDiagnostics

76% of physicians would take lower pay for more autonomy or better work-life balance. But are you negotiating the things you'd actually trade salary for? Call schedule. PTO. Moonlighting rights. Contract terms shape your life, too. #ContractDiagnostics

Primary care physicians are among the most recruited specialties in the country, yet surgical specialists earn 90.1% more on average. You're being paid like you're replaceable while being recruited like you're not. That's where leverage starts.

ChatGPT can be a good first pass on a physician contract. But it's not the end-all, be-all. It may miss lost compensation, extra call, missing protections, or obligations you never agreed to. Make sure you understand what it may miss. Call us to discuss your situation.

Contract Diagnostics vs law firm We don't provide legal advice. We focus on compensation, schedule, time commitment, clarity, and coaching physicians on how to have the right conversations. For legal questions, a local attorney can help. #physiciancontracts

“We don't negotiate compensation.” Okay. Ask questions. How is it set? When does it change? What data set is used? Median or 75th percentile? What happens after a guarantee ends? Even if the number isn't negotiable, understand the formula. #physiciancontracts

Does your first physician contract need to be reviewed? Absolutely. Jon Appino has seen physicians discover $180K tail insurance obligations and $30K/year in underpayment after signing. Those numbers add up fast. #physiciancontracts

How much should a physician contract review cost? Jon Appino has seen physicians pay $5K, $8K or $10K for a review without moving the needle because it focused on the legal side, not compensation. Contract Diagnostics starts at under $500. #physiciancontracts

Your compensation isn't the whole equation. Your time has value too. If you're getting 2–3% more pay but giving more hours, call, locations or responsibilities, that's a different deal. Look at what you're giving and what you're getting in return. #physiciancontracts

Interventional Cardiology and EP compensation have risen significantly since 2021. But rising compensation and rising productivity only matter if your contract reflects them. Jon breaks down the latest 2026 MGMA data in this video. Call us to discuss your compensation.

“Compensation is non-negotiable” doesn't mean the conversation is over. Ask how it's calculated, when it was last changed, what metrics reset it, what physicians produce, and how your pay will be revalued in future years. Know the formula before you sign. #physiciancontracts

ChatGPT can be a useful first pass on a physician contract. But it can miss important details. One review missed that a signing bonus was paid when the physician started, not when they signed. AI can help. It shouldn't be the final word. #physiciancontracts

Your contract renewal is a negotiation—not a formality. Salary isn't the only thing on the table. PTO, CME, bonuses, staffing, equipment and more can be negotiated. Come prepared with your numbers and know your leverage. #physiciancontracts

Anesthesiology compensation is soaring—but are you keeping up? Median compensation is around $590K, while starting salaries have jumped significantly. If new associates are getting more, or your employer is changing, it's time to know your market value. #anesthesiology

Do you actually know what you're worth? Salary alone doesn't tell the whole story. Compensation RX uses current MGMA data, 18,000+ physician contracts and your unique circumstances to help determine what you should be earning. #physicians #physiciancompensation

What is your compensation really worth? The right market data can show where you stand—but your story, productivity, and contributions matter too. Know the data. Know your value. Then have the conversation. Call Contract Diagnostics to discuss your situation.
