MedAccord's Fees

Done correctly, your salary and benefits will be worth many millions of dollars to you over your lifetime.  MedAccord's fees are quite small compared with the importance of protecting your career.

MedAccord's fee requires no payment now.  Rather, you only pay once you begin new employment.  Once employed, you will pay a one-time fee of 4% of your first year's starting base salary, adding 2% if you specifically asked for help with a second employer, and adding 1% for each additional employer.  Very much like a real estate agent's fee, but for a transaction worth far more to you in the short and long-term. 

Included are assistance with your search for multiple strong offers; interview coaching; issue spotting in the overall situation and in the contract itself; skillful, cooperative win/win contract negotiation for a fair contract; benefits analysis; anticipation of the ownership process; advice about how to maintain collegiality and develop your career brand; and steady availability to help you do things right at every turn.  A very personal process, this requires between 60 and 100 hours of our time as we take time to know you, your situation, and be available at the critical junctures required for success.  Our clients become our friends, and we have helped managed successful careers of some for more than a decade.

Generally, our fee approximates $200/hour.  For comparison, your own effective hourly rate to patients/insurers, depending on your specialty, ranges $400-$1,000/hour.  Thus, you are far better off having our experienced help, avoiding costly mistakes you will inevitably make doing this yourself, and saving your time and energy for what you do best in your practice.  Each situation is unique of course, as will be yours.  We have in the past earned for our clients, and saved for our clients, very large sums that far exceeded our fees.

If you are thinking of alternatives to MedAccord, inquire what they have actually secured for their clients and whether they have more than fifteen years of successful win/win negotiation experience with physician employers.  Ask too about their references, acclaim, and written engagement agreement, if they exist.  We are happy to provide these of course.
