My wife has been getting post-fellowship (interventional spine) offers, most are employed job with base salary+production bonus with x number of years to partnership. But also got a different offer that we are considering and wanted to see how common this is or what to negotiate ask more about?
Offer to run an outpatient office (1 of 3) that doc owns. Eat what you kill model. She will be the only doc in that office. Monthly expense is about $20k to run the office. The office building and equipment is already paid off and owned by the doc. Doc will cover office expenses for 1st 6months, and malpractice for first year. Doc provides EMR, billing services, website, etc. My wife can set her own schedule/vacation time/number of days worked, very little chronic opiate management. She is not asked to pay to lease any of the equipment. There is no mention of partnership, but rather doc mentioned her incorporating. From #s given the practice is lucrative ($800k-1mil per year in payments collected). She does not have to give doc any % of her earnings, rather run the office so the overall practice can grow.
This offer is way better than employed positions she is offered. We are wondering if there is some type of catch or its too good to be true?
