Upcoming Webinars Help Physicians Navigate Legal Risk, Contracts, and Reimbursement
MSSNY is offering three practical webinars designed to help physicians and physicians-in-training make better-informed decisions at critical points in their careers.
September 15, “Fundamental Legal Issues Medical Students Should Understand Before Training and Practice,” will help medical students understand the legal and professional responsibilities that can affect their future. Topics include professionalism, ethical conduct, social media use, patient privacy, HIPAA, licensing, disciplinary consequences, and common legal risks to avoid during training and early practice.
September 24, “The No Surprises Act Explained: What Every New York Physician Needs to Know,” will help practicing physicians better understand how the law affects out-of-network reimbursement. Fernando J. Valencia of Callagy Recovery and Thomas Lee, MD, MBA, Executive Vice President of MSSNY, will explain when the law applies, how the Independent Dispute Resolution process works, and how physicians can identify opportunities to avoid systematic underpayment.
October 20, “Physician Employment Agreements: What to Know Before You Sign,” is designed for residents and early-career physicians preparing to evaluate employment offers. The session will cover compensation, wRVU targets, contract terms, termination provisions, call schedules, restrictive covenants, non-competes, malpractice tail coverage, and strategies for negotiating with confidence.
Together, these webinars reflect MSSNY’s commitment to supporting physicians across every career stage, from medical school to independent practice.
