The Call Pay Solution®
On-call compensation issues involve two divergent perspectives: the medical staff's and the hospital administration's. Physicians perceive a justifiable need to be compensated fairly for the services they provide. Administrations face the challenge of staffing their emergency departments with specialists who provide emergency medical services to the community while fulfilling EMTALA requirements.
It’s important to find an approach to call pay that satisfies the interests of the physicians without threatening the financial viability of the hospital.
Our Call Pay Solution® helps your hospital create a call pay program that’s inclusive, fair and sustainable. The program’s three-phase, six-step process empowers your organization and inspires change, creating a culture of call pay that’s inclusive and mutually beneficial.
Our Process
Phase 1
Budget Determination
MaxWorth will work with your administrative team to determine an appropriate budget based on your organizational goals while bearing in mind the financial considerations of your organization.
The Physician Committee
The Physicians’ Call Committee is a creative alternative based on appropriate structures and an independently facilitated committee organized around key principles that delivers more effective outcomes than the traditional, single-specialty negotiation model. Learn More.
Phase 2
The Physicians’ Advantage Plan
The Physician’s Advantage Plan creates a competitive advantage for your hospital by establishing a benefit for your physicians they otherwise cannot procure on their own. The program’s unique design increases efficiency, helps stabilize budgets and sustains physician benefits over the long term. Learn more about the program here.
Physician Education and Enrollment
MaxWorth’s education and enrollment team will help communicate your plan’s key features and benefits to your medical staff. During one-on-one meetings, your physicians will have the opportunity to ask questions about the plan and discuss the best options that fit their personal goals.
Phase 3
Funding Design
Through proper funding design, call pay expense can be transformed into a long term investment for your organization. By establishing a vehicle for cost recovery, the Call Pay Solution® increases sustainability and strengthens the financial viability of the program.
Ongoing Service
The MaxWorth team will support your hospital in the communication, education and ongoing administration of your plan. Through a network of strategic alliances, the Call Pay Solution® provides access to a suite of services that help you run an efficient and cost effective program.
