San Antonio Physician Services Agreements

San Antonio Healthcare Attorney for Physician Contracts

A well-drafted Physician Services Agreement (PSA) is one of the most important tools for protecting your practice, maintaining compliance, and ensuring strong financial performance. Whether you’re a hospital contracting with independent physicians, a medical group bringing on a new provider, or an individual physician evaluating an employment or services contract, the terms you agree to will shape your rights, obligations, and long-term business stability.

At The South Texas Business Lawyers, we help San Antonio healthcare professionals negotiate, draft, and review physician agreements that withstand scrutiny and reflect real-world healthcare operations. With a Managing Attorney who spent 10 years as Assistant General Counsel for the largest healthcare system in South Texas, our team brings unparalleled local insight and regulatory experience to every PSA we handle.

Why Physician Services Agreements Matter in a Healthcare Practice

Because physician agreements directly impact compensation, scheduling, call coverage, referral expectations, and compliance obligations, even minor drafting issues can lead to major disputes or regulatory exposure.

 A well-structured PSA should:

• Clearly establish the nature of the relationship — whether independent contractor, employee, or group partner.
• Define compensation in a compliant way that aligns with fair market value (FMV) and commercial reasonableness standards.
• Address duties, scheduling expectations, and performance obligations.
• Protect confidentiality, patient information, and referral compliance under Texas and federal law.
• Prepare both parties for changes in reimbursement, workload, or operational needs.

We ensure your agreement not only protects your interests but also fits within the realities of practicing medicine in San Antonio’s competitive and highly regulated healthcare market.

Avoid Common Pitfalls in Physician Services Agreements

Physician agreements often contain high-risk terms that can lead to disputes or enforcement issues if not carefully managed. Providers frequently encounter problems with:

• Overly restrictive non-competes or non-solicitation clauses
• Compensation terms out of alignment with FMV requirements
• Lack of clarity regarding call coverage or administrative duties
• Unclear termination rights or inadequate notice provisions
• Referral expectations that may violate federal or state law
• Improperly drafted independent contractor provisions

We help you identify and resolve these issues early — before they become expensive or legally damaging.
