Oakdale Community Hospital is currently seeking a dedicated General Surgeon to establish a solo private practice in our community.  Some of the benefits of this opportunity are our high collection percentage and low bad debt rates, no capitation and an excellent payer mix.  This opportunity is less than an hour’s drive from a metro area.  Louisiana is a Tort Reform State (capped malpractice claims), which makes this a very physician friendly practice opportunity.  A strong primary care referral base and medical staff combine to give the new physician an opportunity to build a very successful practice – very quickly.  Arrangements for time off from call and vacations can be worked out through one of our four area hospitals.  We will provide a competitive income guarantee financial package, including a first year salary guarantee with forgiveness provisions, overhead incremental expenses, malpractice insurance, relocation and many more perks.  In addition, we may be able to provide a sign on bonus, marketing, and legal fee reimbursement.  As a member of a HCA hospital staff, physicians have access to the latest technology and state of the art equipment.  HCA's eHC.com offers web services, allowing you to create your own physician website.  And, HCA subsidiaries also offer a wide range of services to physicians in the management and operation of their private practice for a fair market price, including practice management, consulting, billing, collection and payroll services, health and retirement benefits, and more!  This is a great opportunity for a motivated surgeon to practice in the lovely area of central Louisiana.
