Hi all,
Newly licensed ECP here. A group practice recently made me an offer: 55/45 split, no benefits at all. They offer office space, receptionist, teletherapy program, medical billing, phone answering, referrals, testing materials, EMR, and marketing. They will also help me get paneled with all the major insurances. I will get to choose how many hours I work and when I work. I spoke with several psychologists who are working/worked there and they all seem to like the practice owner and manager. The practice is pretty established in the area and has a good reputation.
My first reaction is to turn it down. The split is lower than I anticipated. Since I'd like to do 100% virtual therapy at this moment, I wouldn't need office or receptionist. The biggest perk they offer is that they seem to have a steady flow of referrals, which would be nice. Your thoughts?
