Becker's Healthcare November 13, 2024
Emergency department physicians at Daly City, Calif.-based Seton Medical Center, part of Alhambra, Calif.-based AMHC Healthcare, have gone unpaid due to the hospital’s contractor, NES Health, not providing payment, a spokesperson for Seton told Becker’s.
NES Health is a physician-led organization that specializes in outsourced hospital management solutions and emergency physician staffing.
The ED physicians have not received pay for around two and a half months, The Daily Journal reported Nov. 13.
Seton’s contract with NES Health expires Nov. 30, but the hospital is working to obtain an agreement with a new contractor, Vituity, by Nov. 18.
The hospital spokesperson did not provide the number of physicians affected, but confirmed that patient care has not been disrupted.
