Yes, many private practices and for-profit hospital groups offer student loan repayment assistance specifically to recruit and retain high-earning doctors.
Since private practice doctors are generally ineligible for PSLF (which requires working for a non-profit or government entity), these employer-based incentives are the primary way to offset debt in the private sector.
How Private Practice Offers Work
- Sign-On Bonuses: You may receive a lump sum upon signing (e.g., $50,000–$100,000) specifically designated for your loans.
- Annual Retention Payments: Some practices offer a set amount (e.g., $20,000–$50,000) paid directly to your loan servicer for each year you remain with the practice.
- Tax Advantages: Some non-profit hospitals that contract private groups can structure these as tax-exempt benefits, though in a pure private practice, this is typically treated as taxable income.
