Join us as we explore two compelling case studies featuring Jon Appino, the driving force behind Contract Diagnostics. In the first, three interventional radiologists, earning over $700k but under-compensated by market standards, sought Jon's expertise to update their outdated eight-year pay structure. Despite paying their own malpractice insurance and having no paid leave, these highly productive physicians successfully negotiated fair compensation, increased profit sharing, and better terms for malpractice insurance. The second case study highlights a group of general surgeons at a small community hospital who faced similar challenges. With Jon's strategic guidance, they secured significant pay increases, a $50,000 annual quality bonus, and updated renegotiation terms, setting a precedent for future physician contract negotiations. Jon Appino has been the driving force behind Contract Diagnostics since 2011, where he leads a dedicated team on a mission to empower physicians with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to negotiate robust employment contracts and secure the best compensation packages.

She thought she had everything covered but overlooked a policy that cost her nearly $100,000 in bonus pay. This highlights the need to review all contracts thoroughly. Second, another physician accepted a job offer with a risky salary agreement. Despite our warnings, he signed the contract and now finds himself unhappy and potentially owing a substantial repayment. These stories emphasize the importance of understanding every detail of your contract, both when leaving a current job and accepting a new one. Contracts are complex, and thorough review can prevent costly mistakes.

We assist many physicians in navigating job shares and shifts from a typical 40-hour week to reduced hours. It's crucial to understand how these agreements differ, especially in terms of allocated clinical and admin hours, which should be clearly documented and prorated in your contract.  Additionally, consider how your call schedule, compensation, and benefits might change with part-time work. Ensure your quality bonuses and other incentives are appropriately adjusted, and be aware of any changes to your health insurance, retirement plans, and CME allowances. Always have your contract professionally reviewed to cover all bases.

Jon Appino with Contract Diagnostics talks about how this may affect physicians, but acknowledges that many things may change before it makes its way to implementation. We also talk about how noncompetes may or may not affect compensation and nonmonetary aspects of contract negotiations. And finally, Jon talks more about fair market value and puts to bed the myth that there is a magic number that employers must use when putting forth contracts to their physicians.  You can get a free 15-minute consultation with Contract Diagnostics for yourself or a 30-minute consultation for your group.

Many of us are told that our employer has one contract for a group of physicians and it is nonnegotiable. But what if the entire group collectively negotiated for changes? Groups can negotiate for salary, of course, but they can also request improvements to staffing, equipment, time off or other things.   Jon Appino with Contract Diagnostics talks about the impactfulness and success of collective negotiations. He has started an entire division to focus on this type of bargaining and has even hired folks who previously represented "the other side" to increase physicians' chances of success in negotiations.  To learn more about Jon and his team, go to www.ContractDiagnostics.com. You can also listen to his podcast Coffee and Contracts right here on Financial Residency. 

This episode is also sponsored by PearsonRavitz– helping physicians protect their most valuable assets.  Going on a medical mission trip is a noble thing that many physicians and other health professionals do each year, but many people don't realize that going on those trips is usually an out-of-pocket expense to the physician for thousands of dollars. It also means time away from work and family.  So Jon at Contract Diagnostics is raising money to help Dr. Kathryn Sarnoski, his national director of education, defray expenses. She goes on at least one medical mission trip per year. If he is able to raise enough money, then he is hoping to send more than one physician on this trip and make it an annual program.  If you would like to contribute to this noble cause, you can contact Jon Appino at Jon@ContractDiagnostics.com. He will match every dollar donated so even a small gift will go a long way to helping those in need.

Welcome to The Art of Medicine, the program that explores the arts, business, and clinical aspects of the practice of medicine. I'm your host, Dr. Andrew Wilner.  Today, I have the pleasure of speaking with Jon Appino, Principal and Founder of Contract Diagnostics. Jon's been running Contract Diagnostics for more than 10 years, helping physicians analyze and negotiate their contracts with respect to salary, benefits, and covenants.  Jon grew up in a medical family. In college, he was a biology and biochemistry major and pre-med. Ultimately, his entrepreneurial spirit led him to pursue medically-related business opportunities rather than attending medical school.  In this episode, we discuss Jon's motivation and approach to helping physicians achieve the most favorable business contracts. He has had experience with literally thousands of physician contracts. During our discussion, Jon addresses critical features of both locum tenens and permanent contracts. It's been my experience that when push comes to shove at the workplace, it's what written in the contract that really matters.  Please watch our 40-minute discussion to hear how John can help determine whether your contract is fair or could be improved. Jon insists that every physician has a “story,” and each contract must be individualized. Jon is a big fan of “The Art of Medicine,” which I really appreciate! You can learn more about Jon Appino here: https://contractdiagnostics.comOr Call: 888.574.5526 Thanks for watching! If you enjoy an episode, please share with friends and colleagues.

Contract Diagnostics is a nationwide consulting company, not a law firm, and the ONLY company that specializes 100% in physician contract review. Jon's team of contract review specialists has served many thousands of physicians in all specialties across all 50 states. Contract Diagnostics was formed in 2011 and has been Jon's passion ever since. He is dedicated to the education of physicians in the non-clinical (business) aspect of medicine. Had you been an entrepreneur before? Growing up as a kid? Oh, funny enough. So I started a stereo company Car Stereos when I was 17, not because I wanted to have a big company and make a lot of money. There were certain brands of stereo equipment that we wanted in Brookings, and there was one, one small stereo company, and they didn't have the good brands and we didn't feel like they gave the customer a good deal. And so my friend and I started a company at 17 just so we could get our brands, and it did well. It's still going successfully under separate ownership.How did Contract Diagnostics start? I was looking at this market, you know, 12 years ago or so, there really wasn't like there wasn't like a national brand. And I had lots of friends who were physicians who could kind of give me guidance. I said, Well, who'd you use for this service? And, you know, they didn't know they should, or they called some local attorney who didn't understand physicians and physician contracts. But how do you sell a service or product to someone who doesn't even know they need it? Now we have a new product that I feel hundreds of thousands of physicians need. And now we're back in the process of telling them, you know, teaching them that they do absolutely need this product. And I mentioned to my team all the time that I feel like we're trying to sell an iPhone in 1984, you know, and you should try it. You need this in your pocket. It's going to revolutionize the way you live. And people would say, What are you talking about? There's no way I need this thing, you know? So it's it's fun and challenging at the same time.So what does your team do to help physicians? So we've got great attorneys that work here, but we don't operate like a law firm, so we don't give legal advice. We're consultants if you will. So we understand the way that a physician should understand risk in a contract so we can go through it with him or her and really kind of explain it in plain English.And what Jon sees as the "secret" to success... It's still one of those things that, you know, you find something that you really enjoy. You put your heart soul into it and and you work it till you're blue in the face. And you don't give up and you provide good products and then and things happen. In an unusual growth pattern, Jon hires his first employee for his "side gig" before he even left his corporate job. Why? The business was strong and my time was was kind of capped. And I realized that it has to get bigger than just me. Do you have any regrets or son of a moments that you wish you could do it over again, that you would have changed to get you where you are quicker? Maybe the one thing that I would change was, is the the way that you that you prioritize initiatives. I think still 32 ideas on ways that we can make the company better. But I think I would have maybe started prioritizing that list maybe a little bit different years ago. What's been key to Jon's growth is relationships. They have been the key to where he is today. No matter if it's been in his business and corporate, in and around that area, it seems like he's really been able to solidify, grow all the relationships that he has to in order to get to where he is today. My team ensures physicians and their families get the best possible employment compensation through information, consulting, and coaching on their employment contracts. https://contractdiagnostics.com/ (Jon's Website) https://www.facebook.com/physiciancontractreviews/ (Jon's...

Do you know why books, mentors, and being curious are so vital to your future? I loved the "Rule of Thumb" that my friend Jon Appino uses. It's a joke, but exposes a truth. People do not like reading books because they were forced to in school. I was EXACTLY the same leaving college and working at GE as an engineer. But then I started my first side hustle as an Amway IBO and was encouraged to start reading personal growth books. I learned this right away, understood it, and decided to embrace it. "You will be in 5 years based on the books you read and the people you associate with." Then it all connected when I learned about the Four Windows from Amway legend John Crowe. This knowledge has served me well for over a decade and I hope it hits the nail on the head for you. Here's a word of warning. This episode will cut you open and expose some truths about you that you do not like.Think of a window with cross lattices and therefore 4 individual panes of glass in the same window. These are the four windows. Each has a different viewpoint on YOU!The top left window represents the THINGS THAT YOU KNOW ABOUT YOU THAT EVERYONE ELSE ALSO KNOWS. Typically, this window contains your physical appearance and outward habits. For example, I have brown eyes, brown hair, and record this podcast. We do not learn much in this window, but we tend to operate here in our life too often. Nothing ever changes and no growth occurs. This window represents the status quo.The top right window represents the THINGS THAT YOU KNOW ABOUT YOU THAT NO ONE ELSE KNOWS. This can be your dreams and aspirations and it can be your internal struggles, addictions, double talk, hypocrisy. Since no one else knows what is going on in your head, they can't help you. Therefore, if you remain in this window and keep doing the same thing over and over again, you'll get the same results. This is what Einstein calls insanity. Others choose to grow and pursue change based on what they know about them. This was me when I learned how important books were. I made the decision to read personal growth books in the areas I was strong and weak to improve both! This was my first step to becoming a lifetime learner.Read the rest of this article at the Solo Cleaning School website!

Today, we are going to focus on physician employment contracts and chat with Jon Appino, the CEO of Contract Diagnostics. We are going to be exploring --- how is the corona virus impacting physicians contracts??? We recorded this episode in late March 2020. So, I'm a few months behind. Things were getting pretty darn bad at the time. There were lots and lots of questions as to how the corona virus might impact physicians and we explored each of them. As a matter of fact, this is Jon's THIRD time on the show. The first two times inspired the contracts section of The Young Physician's Guide to Money & Life. Jon is somebody who brings value each and every time he is on the podcast.  A little background on him... Jon obtained his BS in Biology and Chemistry with a Pre-med focus. After deciding on a business career over medicine, he has spent the past 15+ years working in various sized companies and start-ups in the healthcare field. He completed his MBA in 2004 and launched his most recent company, Contract Diagnostics, in 2011. He is passionate about the education of Physicians with regards to the non-clinical (business) aspects of medicine. What I think is pretty neat about this company is that Contract Diagnostics offers a wide range of review packages with price points starting at only a few hundred bucks with flexible payment plans for Residents and Fellows as they complete their training. Enjoy the podcast with Jon Appino! In this podcast, you will… Discover what Jon thinks about how the virus may impact existing physician contracts How the physician marketplace has shifted for residents and fellows What young physicians should be considering and asking for in their contracts Discover what Jon would revisit in existing contracts Resources Mentioned In This Podcast: The Young Physician's Guide to Money & Life.

The week started off great. In my last podcast update on my own solo cleaning business, I shared the story of Doug sliding another cleaning business's card across his desk and asking me what I thought of her. I spoke highly of her, even after he told me that he used her company for his own house. Well, I got an email from Doug on Monday asking if I would be willing to do a cleaning estimate for his house. I was amazed, scheduled an appointment, and completed it by the end of the week. It just goes to show that you never go wrong by sowing good seeds about others.I share the full story in the episode, but I was torched on my mastermind call this week. The guys weren't impressed with my goals and how I was approaching the next 12 months. I tried defending myself, but they called me on it. Overall, it was a great call and I was challenged to do what I preach and get an accountability partner (see the Accountability Roadmap). John VanderMuelen. John is a good friend and MASTER of selling on Amazon. He runs a group holding other Amazon Sellers accountable and trains them.I set up electronic payments for the first time after 15 years of running a cleaning business. I did my research and for now, chose Stripe. It's about 3% cost but it's easier for my new house cleaning clients and possibly an office or two. This gives me a new option for collecting money and not waiting or worrying about checks and bank deposits. It's streamlined.This next meeting with my realtor friend, Denise Simone, is where the title for today's episode came from. Denise has a passion for the elderly and helping them downsize to fully enjoy the twilight of their lives. She told me a beautiful story of a former client. Betty is a widow that Denise helped downsize through crazy issues with mold, a broken septic, obtaining permits, and just 45 years of a lived-in home. Denise was her hero and did work way beyond real estate to help her client and friend to a better life. She even helped her clean the house a bit. Denise had a great line. "An old unkept house is like a broken down car." This was in reply to houses over time with neglect fall into disrepair. I shared an analogy about the brain and personal development. Our brains, businesses, and relationships don't stay the same. They also fall into disrepair with neglect. I was so impressed with Denise and was grateful for the time and for allowing me to share her story of Betty!Previous Show Mentioned: "Blueberry Pie"TLF Mastermind friends I mention: Andy Storch, Gustavo Fernandez, Jon Appino, John VanderMuelen,

A contract is just a vehicle to set expectations. But understanding those expectations is very important. We discuss what you need to know about negotiating a contract in this episode. See the full transcription at https://www.whitecoatinvestor.com/classic-blog/ A contract discusses the physician's time and job responsibilities. Along with how they will be compensated, what benefits are provided, and what happens when that employer-employee relationship is terminated. Having a solid understanding of all these things will make a difference in your efforts to build wealth. Not to mention the benefit of negotiating that compensation so you ensure you are paid what you are worth. In this episode I interview Jon Appino from Contract Diagnostics, a long time advertiser that has helped many WCI readers and listeners better understand their contracts and negotiate better compensation packages. This is not an expensive service, a few hundred dollars. Considering how much money we are talking about, especially if it becomes a long-term job, a couple of hundred bucks is money well-spent. Listen to this episode to learn more about contracts, who is qualified to review one, find out what you are really worth, what you can negotiate in a contract, and whether or not you should hire someone to help with this process. This episode is sponsored by Locumstory.com.
