Why should I care about Mcare, particularly if I do not own my own practice?
If your employer pays for your liability insurance and pays your Mcare assessment, you may think that you are not affected. But your liability insurance and Mcare costs are part of your compensation package, whether you know it or not. When those costs go up, your opportunity for pay increases and bonuses goes down. Lower pay means that it’s harder to recruit other physicians, making your job harder. Employers will look for other ways to cut costs, too, like hiring fewer ancillary staff or delaying purchases of new technology and equipment.
