Knowing Their Rights

Christopher Kang, MD, FACEP, ACEP’s President, said the College has offered support to its members during the painful transition. As of August 1, he said, “The lion’s share of APP hospitals had implemented alternative arrangements. A good number said they would take over physicians’ tail coverage and pay back salaries. But people are still anxious and frustrated,” Dr. Kang said.

ACEP Supports Those Affected by APP Closure

The closure of American Physician Partners has disrupted thousands of emergency physicians’ lives and careers. In the days after the closure, ACEP sent letters to approximates 130 hospitals nationwide, urging them to prioritize consideration of the emergency physicians and the care of their communities. With a quick crowdsourcing effort in collaboration with Ivy Clinicians, ACEP was able to map most of these hospitals’ new contracts and used our influence to put pressure on the administrators to be accountable and consider many of ACEP’s long-standing policies as they move forward. View the letter at acep.org/APPletter.

ACEP continues to support members through the situation by offering personal support and developing helpful resources for those affected. Keep reading for the new resources to help during uncertain times in your career. These can be found at acep.org/jobtransitionsupport.

More Career Transition Tools

ACEP’s expanded career transition support services include:

  • Free counseling sessions, access to legal and insurance partners, and a vetted job board
  • A new contract toolkit with extensive, members-only FAQs about insurance, contracts and legal issues during career transitions
  • A new member benefit with Resolve that offers 20% off contract review services

Group Ownership Education

Ready to start down the path of group ownership? We can help. ACEP hosted two members-only webinars in August that are now available on demand in the Online Learning Center at acep.org/OLC.

“ACEP’s foremost duty is to help our members in a time of need. We want to be sure we educate our individual members so they know their rights,” including who will have the right to collect the fees for physician services already rendered,” he said. “We’ve sent multiple communications to members.”
