Get Your Contract Analysis — $147You just received a physician employment contract. It's 20–40 pages of legal language covering compensation, benefits, termination, non-competes, call coverage, malpractice, and more. You're expected to sign it within weeks.
Here's what most physicians don't realize: the contract you received was drafted by the employer's attorneys to protect the employer's interests. That doesn't mean it's unfair — but it does mean nobody at that table is looking out for you.
The clauses that cost physicians the most money aren't the ones that look alarming. They're the ones that look routine — until you try to leave, renegotiate, or enforce what you thought was promised.
Every Contract Guard MD® report is a personalized analysis of your specific contract — not just a generic template.
A plain-language overview of your entire agreement — key terms, structure, and every yellow and red flag identified. Understand your contract's strengths and risks in one page.
Your salary, bonuses, and incentive structures analyzed against real-world market data from actual physician deals. If your offer is below market, you'll know — with specific recommendations to close the gap.
Health insurance, retirement, CME, PTO, disability, signing bonuses, and relocation — evaluated for what's included, what's missing, and what you should request.
Clinical obligations, call coverage, schedule, documentation requirements, and outside work restrictions reviewed for reasonableness and alignment with your compensation.
Coverage type, tail coverage responsibility, limits, and scope — making sure you're protected while employed and after you leave.
Non-compete, non-solicitation, geographic restrictions, and liquidated damages analyzed for enforceability risk and practical career impact.
Without-cause termination, notice periods, for-cause triggers, disability, and final paycheck withholding — so you know your exposure if the relationship ends.
The three most important issues to negotiate, ranked by impact, with specific strategies and recommended approaches for each. You'll know exactly where to focus.
Securely submit your agreement through our encrypted form. Your document is confidential — never shared with anyone.
Your contract is evaluated across every major section using a framework informed by 1,500+ real physician contract reviews.
Your personalized report is delivered within minutes. Access it in your member dashboard alongside your documents and resources.
Zero training on what to look for. Your co-residents are guessing too. Get clarity before you commit, at a price that respects a resident's budget.
You know enough to be concerned, but not enough to know what's negotiable. Your report shows you exactly where the leverage is.
Switching systems, new state, private practice. You have a family, a mortgage, a reputation. One bad clause can follow you for years.
Generic AI tools might tell you to "request severance." In the real world, severance isn't something most physician contracts offer. Our framework was built on patterns from 1,500+ actual physician employment agreements — so the recommendations are grounded in what employers actually agree to, not theoretical advice that goes nowhere.
Your report won't just say "compensation may be below average." It'll show you that your per-shift rate is $1,500 when comparable roles are paying $1,800–$2,500 — and recommend a specific differential or per-shift floor to close the gap. Real numbers. Real context from real deals.
Every section includes specific recommendations — not "consider discussing this" language. You'll get strategies like: "Narrow the non-compete to the primary facility, exclude telemedicine, and add a carve-out if terminated without cause." Language you can bring directly to the table.
After purchase, you get access to a personal member dashboard where you can view your report, store your contracts, and access additional resources. This isn't a chatbot response that disappears — it's an ongoing resource.

Contract Guard MD® was created by Sarah Laws, a business strategist who has worked at the intersection of law, medicine, and business operations since 2003.
Over two decades, Sarah partnered directly with physician contract attorneys — including co-founder Dennis Hursh, Esq., a nationally recognized physician contract lawyer with 40+ years of experience and author of The Final Hurdle: A Physician's Guide to Negotiating a Fair Employment Agreement. Together, they supported physicians through thousands of employment contract negotiations.
That experience is the foundation of Contract Guard MD®: a structured analysis framework informed by patterns, risks, and opportunities identified across 1,500+ real physician contracts.
Contract Guard MD® provides analytical reports for educational and informational purposes. It is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Use of this service does not create an attorney-client relationship.
If your Contract Guard MD® report doesn't give you meaningful, actionable insight into your contract, we'll refund your $147 in full. No hoops. No fine print. You're making one of the biggest financial decisions of your career. If we don't deliver value, we don't deserve your money.
Most physician offers come with a 2–4 week signing window. Your Contract Guard MD® analysis is delivered within minutes — so you can negotiate from knowledge, not guesswork.
