RE: Practice Start up
DavidZ:
Any sample contract language to be used for practice start up?
Things to be included in the contract.
Pay_My_Claims:
if you think it COULD happen, it will.........cover all areas. no 2 contracts are the same.
PMRNC:
Hee Hee that's exactly what I did when I created my first real contract.
Step 1. IGNORE, Throw Out Or use as bird cage lining, all the sample contracts floating around the internet.. IMO it's Irresponsible to have them up there to begin with No contract under 4 pages is going to cover you it's just bird cage lining. sorry to be so blunt.
Step 2. I created all the possible Pessimistic Situations I could come up with in a list of sorts.[Hint] my list was 7 pages long.
Step 3. Contacted a friend who referred me to a great contract lawyer (does not have to be healthcare, good contract lawyers KNOW contracts) He loved my list and said most of his clients live in bubbles but that when you go into business you have to think like a Pessimist and be aware of all possible situations.
Step 4 Never haggle or waiver. My contract is what it is with the exception of modifications needed PER client I contract with. It's not to be negotiated with and if any of my clients mind that it's 11 pages, I don't want them as a client anyway.
Tip: You won't believe how much your contract will actually help in drawing up your compliance and policies & procedures for your business!
Tip: Have an air tight ESCAPE clause which allows you to WALK away in cases of suspected fraud or abuse, mine even says I don't have to give any notice, it's deemed effective when I say so. That allows me to follow the laws and guidelines for even suspicion.
Tip: Spell out EVERY service to the leter. BE AS SPECIFIC as you can in all aspects of the contract!
MBP:
thank you for sharing this!
DavidZ:
Linda as always, great info.
Our billing contract is also 12 pages.
The start up consulting is not, that is why the need to update it.
