Client Billing:

We will bill our health care facility clients for our temporary health care professionals on assignment based on hours and days worked. Under hours-and-days-worked contracts, the temporary health care professional is our employee for payroll and benefits purposes and is paid directly by us on behalf of the hospital and health care facility clients. Under this arrangement, we bill our hospital and health care facility clients at an hourly or daily rate that effectively includes reimbursement for recruitment fees and compensation for the temporaryhealth care professionals who are our employees, any benefits and any applicable employer taxes. Housing, travel expenses, and meals and incidentals, if applicable, are either included in the hourly/daily rate or billed separately.
Overtime, shift differential and holiday hours worked are typically billed at a premium rate. In turn, we pay the temporary health care professional’s wages or contracted fees, housing, travel costs, and meals and incidentals costs if applicable, and any other benefits. Providing payroll services is a value-added and convenient service that hospitals and health care facilities generally expect from their supplemental staffing sources.
