Post Ind Contractor Med Director Hospice > 1 hospice co
Author: Roli
Date: Jan 20, 2010 4:33 pm
As a physician with ability to manage more than one hospice program I am wanting to add another hospice to my load. I am not employed rather have an agreement as an independent contractor. As long as I provide the needed services well is there any issue. It is not discussed in the contract. Thus I expect it is not forbidden and thus not needed to be declaired. What do you think?

There are many instances where working with multiple programs could be seen as a conflict of interest. Your current employer may have some non-compete expectations of you. I would encourage you to consult an attorney and to discuss this with your current employer. Putting things out on the table and being up front with what you are thinking would be advised. That way you aren't speculating about their response--you'll know.
