Physician Contract Glossary · Disputes
Location and Time Limits for Disputes
These terms set where a dispute must be brought and how long you have to bring it, both of which can quietly disadvantage you.
Dispute provisions often dictate the venue, the physical location where any claim or arbitration must take place, and the time limit, a shortened window in which you must bring a claim. A venue far from where you live raises the cost of pursuing a dispute, and a shortened limitations period can bar a valid claim before you even realize you have one.
Check the required venue and any shortened deadline to bring a claim. A distant forum and a tight filing window are subtle ways to make it impractical for you to enforce your own rights.
