In particular, don`t sign a non-compete treaty if you don`t think you can live with it. A medical assistant employment contract should be complete. It is in the interest of both parties to reach a clear, understandable and effective agreement. In addition to sectoral issues, the Treaty should also address a number of other general employment issues, such as remuneration. Here are some of the most important concepts that can be found in medical assistant employment contracts, but to date, New York courts have not been convinced that this precludes the application of Covenants-not-to-compete against physicians. Long speech, in short, as an employee, I do in my current weeks of 70-80 hours about $ 22-25 per hour (hours that have never been stipulated in the contract), I do not have health insurance (I had an oral promise that I will receive), pay my own responsibility (and could not receive tail coverage / decide on my insurance), and my CME comes from my salary. My non-competition clause essentially excludes that, given our various external offices, I can work within a radius of one and a half hours, whereas we are only there once a week for 4 hours. I have raised my concerns on several occasions and no amendments have been proposed. A restrictive agreement, sometimes referred to as a “non-compete clause,” is a provision of the treaty that prohibits you from practicing in a given geographic area or medical specialty after leaving a practice. This is usually the case for a set period of time, often a few years after leaving the practice. Some courts outside of Arizona have extended the applicability of physician/physician non-compete rules to other members of the medical profession. For example, in Columbus Med.

Servs., LLC. V. David Thomas & Liberty Healthcare Corp. 308. S.W.3d 368 (Ct. App. Tennessee 2009) extended the non-application of medical patient non-competition to therapists. Similarly, Benchmark Med. Holdings, Inc.

v. Barnes, 328 F. Supp. 2d 1236, 1249-50 (M.D. Ala. 2004), the Tribunal stated that “therapists are professional for the purposes of the validity and applicability of competitive agreements.” While this judgment may exist outside of Arizona, no Arizona court has ruled directly on this issue. While many states will impose competition bans on doctors, there are also states where such agreements are either null and void or severely restricted. Non-competition clauses are illegal in some states, I would check if your state is not involved if the potential employer does not move into a non-competition clause, ask him to change the terms of the clause. .
