Thank you for your quick reply.
This is what I thought. As you said the call schedule is still required by the hopital . Most our primary care physicans has signed agreemend or have notified the hospital that they would like the hospitalist on call to take care of their patients.The hospital still ask them to be on the call schedule because of the bylaw, which means The hospital still requires a list of the oncall physicans separate form the Hospitalist (other group of PCP being paid by the hospital) to be able to pay the hospitalist as being as a back up. Which is a weared situation . It is not an issue for the hospital for those physician not to take care of there patient but they want to maitain 2 lists of oncall. Basically the hospital is promoting one group of physicans over others and would like to keep paying them.
I would like to change the bylaw to allow the senior physicians with 20 years of service and over the age of sixty will be exempted for the call schedule.
Wich is going to be another battle with the hospital.
Any other idea to help these doctors who would like to keep there office based practice and there hospital prilivage without warrying about insurance and hospital bugging them?
