Seem done?
Guaranteed court challenge...not sure how this Court will rule
has Astro ever issued a statement on noncomepetes like the ama?Guaranteed court challenge...not sure how this Court will rule
FTFYhasAstrothe mouthpiece for rad onc at large academic healthcare systems ever issued a statement on noncomepetes like the ama?
Employees- the actual academics at large academic institutions are badly impacted by non competes, but Astro doesn’t represent them either.FTFY
Definitely will be challenged. Anyone have an educated guess on the timeline before resolution?Guaranteed court challenge...not sure how this Court will rule
Hard to say. The rule will be enforced in four months without an appeal. It will likely go to the Supreme Court. 99% chance they will kick it back to the States.Definitely will be challenged. Anyone have an educated guess on the timeline before resolution?
Nonprofit healthcare employers also are exempt from the rule’s reach.
"non-profit"
Abusing your employees is ok as long as you don't have shareholders.
Sad they got the carveout, but I am not surprised.
The AHA isn't happy. Ultimately this will be tested in multiple lawsuits before it all shakes out.The ftc doesn’t have jurisdiction over non profits so this isn’t surprising, so maybe it’s not a specific carve out and hopefully we will something at the federal level perhaps through the irs to reign in abuse by non profits.

But from the WSJ article:
As such you can probably forget about it.
Sounds like equity PP partners will be exempt as well.
Probably more common with the surgeons I would imagine when the hospital is willing to pay up to get their surgical program off the ground.On what planet would an equity PP partner immediately jump to be a W2 employee at the hospital across the street because his non-compete was no longer chaining him to the burden of managing technical reimbursement?

Have heard of instances of specialists getting peeled away from groups with smaller ancillaries like a lab or a couple scanners etc.
At least someone thought to think of this issue. HOPPS has been killing the Medicare physician fee schedule forever. Money talks and will make docs walk
The reality is a lot of hospitals and academic systems will still put the non-compete verbiage into all of their employment contracts even if it is unenforcable. The fact that it is there will discourage many physicians from leaving and joining a competitor. Even for frivolous lawsuits in this country, you need to spend tens of thousands of dollars to litigate. Obviously your employer will have exceptionally deep pockets to make the process as long and painful as possible even if you win in the end.
Don't hold your breath.

In a pro-only group, the hospital could always cut your PSA contract if you don't do what they say and employee directly. There's a med onc group in VA that just blew up this way. This is a completely bizarre take.
Also, and this is crazy, one could consider treating their employees well so they don't want to leave. It is not harder to recruit doctors then in demand professionals in any field.
