Attention to malpractice insurance is crucial. Reputable firms maintain comprehensive coverage, but it’s essential for physicians to inquire about coverage details, including limits, admitted states, and carrier ratings, to ensure adequate protection.
You will be paid as a 1099 independent contractor, meaning you assume responsibility for handling your tax obligations. Unlike traditional employment where taxes are withheld from your paycheck, as a 1099 contractor, you are required to calculate and pay your taxes independently. This entails setting aside a portion of your earnings to cover federal, state, and possibly local taxes, as well as self-employment taxes, which contribute to Social Security and Medicare. It’s advisable to consult with a tax professional to ensure compliance with tax regulations and to efficiently manage your financial responsibilities as an independent contractor.
A locum tenens agency provides various support services, including job placement, credentialing assistance, travel and housing arrangements, and malpractice insurance coverage. They also offer ongoing support throughout the assignment.
The credentialing process involves verifying a provider’s qualifications, including education, training, licensure, and work history. The agency assists with gathering the necessary documents and submitting them to the hiring facility.
Various healthcare facilities utilize locum tenens providers, including hospitals, clinics, private practices, urgent care centers, and long-term care facilities. These assignments can be in urban, suburban, or rural locations.
