Key takeaways
- •All four have a tier that negotiates with the employer for you. Published prices run from $1,099 (Resolve Standard) to $1,950 (Contract Diagnostics Negotiation Review).
- •Only Panacea Legal is itself a law firm. Resolve’s attorney tiers use two law firms named in its terms; Contract Diagnostics and Physicians Thrive say they are not law firms.
- •The cheapest products aren’t attorney reviews. Resolve’s $199 tier is automated, Physicians Thrive’s Rapid Review has no attorney, and Panacea’s $49 product is a pay check, not a contract review.
- •All four benchmark pay against MGMA data; Resolve, Contract Diagnostics, and Physicians Thrive add their own databases of contracts or physicians.
An employment contract sets your pay, call, termination terms, tail coverage, and non-compete for years. These four services review physician contracts for a flat fee. This page compares them only on what each publishes on its own website, read September 27, 2026; where a service leaves something out, we say so. How to negotiate once you have the review is in our physician contract negotiation guide.
An earlier version of this page ranked these services with badges and listed starting prices and turnaround times that no longer match what they publish. For example, it listed Panacea from $49, but that is a compensation review; Panacea’s contract review starts at $499. We replaced it with each service’s own package terms.

What separates them
- •Who reads your contract, and whether it counts as legal advice. Panacea Legal is a law firm. Resolve isn’t, but its attorney tiers are handled by attorneys of two law firms. Contract Diagnostics gives what it calls deal advice, not legal advice, and Physicians Thrive pairs a financial advisor with partner attorneys. Whether a clause, such as a non-compete, will hold up in your state is a question for a licensed attorney.
- •Whether anyone talks to the employer for you. Every service has a tier that does, priced from $1,099 to $1,950. Below that, you get coaching or a strategy and do the negotiating yourself.
- •Where the pay benchmarks come from. All four cite MGMA. Resolve adds contracts its customers submit; Contract Diagnostics, contracts it has reviewed; Physicians Thrive, its own physician database. If your pay is tied to wRVUs, check that the report benchmarks the conversion factor as well as base salary.
- •What the cheapest product actually is. Resolve’s $199 tier is automated, Physicians Thrive’s Rapid Review has no attorney, and Panacea’s $49 Compensation Review and Contract Diagnostics’ $297 Compensation Analysis look at pay, not the contract.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a physician contract review cost?
On September 27, 2026, the four services published these prices for reviewing one employment contract: Contract Diagnostics $480 to $1,950, Panacea Legal $499 to $1,499, and Resolve $799 to $1,599 for its attorney tiers (its $199 tier is automated). Physicians Thrive lists two prices for each package, from $99 / $399 to $1,699 / $1,999, without saying which applies to whom. Partnership reviews: Resolve $3,999, Physicians Thrive $3,799, Contract Diagnostics by quote.
Which services negotiate with my employer for me?
All four, at their higher tiers: Resolve Standard ($1,099) and Premium ($1,599), Panacea Legal Premium ($1,499), Physicians Thrive Elite ($1,699 / $1,999), and Contract Diagnostics Negotiation Review ($1,950). Lower tiers give you coaching or a negotiating strategy, and you do the talking.
Is a contract review service the same as hiring a lawyer?
Not always. Panacea Legal is a law firm. Resolve is not, but its terms say attorneys of MorganTheeler, LLP and Resolve Legal, PLLC handle its attorney tiers. Contract Diagnostics says it is not a law firm and gives “deal” advice, not legal advice. Physicians Thrive says it is not a law firm and works with partner attorneys. For firms where an attorney does all of the work, see our contract lawyer review.
Where does the salary data come from?
All four cite MGMA survey data. Resolve adds rData, built from contracts its customers submit. Contract Diagnostics adds its own database of contracts it has reviewed, and Physicians Thrive its own database of physicians. Panacea Legal uses MGMA DataDive. Ask which source each number in your report comes from.
How long does a review take?
Resolve: 2 to 4 business days to your first attorney call, with notes within 24 hours after. Contract Diagnostics: about 2 to 3 days, with a rush fee for same-day or overnight service. Physicians Thrive: next business day to 4 business days, depending on the package. Panacea Legal: 72 hours, or 24 hours for an extra fee. Start as soon as you have the written offer.
Can I get a refund?
Resolve’s terms of use say payments are non-refundable. Contract Diagnostics refunds in full only before work starts, though its $297 Compensation Analysis has a satisfaction guarantee. Physicians Thrive gives a 50% refund or credit if it misses its 2-to-3-business-day meeting guarantee, with conditions. Panacea Legal doesn’t publish a refund policy.
