Our
Concierge Approach
We work with you to find the opportunity you've been waiting for. And once we've identified it, we assist with CV optimization, interview preparation, and contract negotiation. We work closely with you to accommodate shift preferences, call schedules, days off, per diem allowances, pay rate, and more into your contract so every detail is tailored to your goals. But we don’t stop there. We take care of you through your assignment and beyond.
From planning a weekend trip to setting up your next assignment, we are here for you.
Contract Negotiation
Locum tenens physicians and advanced practice providers can earn substantially more than their permanent colleagues. When so much is on the line, you need someone who intimately understands how and what to negotiate, such as:
Base pay rate
Overtime, on-call, and weekend rates
Start dates and length of assignment
Type of lodging
Transportation while on assignment
Locum Tenens Pay
Locum tenens providers are considered independent contractors when on assignment. As an independent contractor, you're responsible for providing your own benefits, such as medical, dental, vision, disability, and life insurance, along with retirement planning. Many providers seek coverage through an insurance broker or their spouse. Locum tenens providers must also manage state, federal, Medicare, or Social Security taxes. It's best to consult with tax and financial planning professionals for your specific situation. We can provide a list of resources to help you begin your search for these partners.
However, you control your availability and which assignments you accept. You also have control over when and how long you work and the length of your relationship with the facility. And because the facility isn’t paying for benefits (some that you may not use anyway), locum tenens pay is often lucrative, making it the ideal career choice whether you're looking for extra income on the side or a full-time (balanced) career.
