Negotiating your physician contract: the importance of sign-on bonuses and compensation

Are you negotiating your employment contract in healthcare? Don't forget to consider your sign-on bonus. According to benchmarks set by MGMA, everyone should be eligible for one.
But if you're not seeing that reflected in your contract, don't be afraid to ask why not. And if you're not moving for the job, ask if that relocation allowance can be added to your sign-on bonus.
After all, if an employer typically provides that allowance for physicians, it shouldn't matter where the money comes from. Make sure you're advocating for yourself and getting the compensation you deserve. #PhysicianContractNegotiation #SignOnBonus #CompensationInHealthcare
