Mandatory Reimbursement
Mandatory reimbursement requires you to pay the practice back for specific costs it covered on your behalf.
Mandatory reimbursement clauses require you to repay the practice for costs it fronted: licensing fees, credentialing, training, sometimes malpractice tail. Unlike a sign-on bonus clawback, these can apply even while you are employed, deducted from pay or billed directly. The clause defines what is reimbursable, when, and whether departure accelerates the bill.
Identify which fronted costs you must reimburse and under what conditions. Pair this with the tail-insurance clause, since who pays the tail is the single most expensive reimbursement question in many contracts.
