My experience with comp health has been fine. My recruiter is sometimes slow to respond to things. But everything I asked for and he agreed to has been there. The travel agent has been spot on and i always get paid on time. Credentialing assistant not the best but I was credentialed on time, so can’t complain. They didn’t ever lie to me or try to bait and switch. All legitimate and professional.

That is what my dad said (ortho) working with them 10 years ago. He also said they paid less than others.

yea. Interactions with them have been weird. I started a conversation about a site and my rate, days etc and the guy got back to me 6 weeks later. Are you kidding me? I had already signed onto two other contracts by that point

Anyone have experience with echo locums?

Echo = Sound = UHC

Also, Anesthesiaoncall = USAP

Has anyone worked with anesthesiasolutions? They are a crNa owned locums company. It seems weird to me to work for a crNa owned staffing company.

Wouldn’t out of principle cuz I’m tired of hearing wannabe docs wanting a 30 min lunch break. But if they wanna pay me 450/hr and take minimal margins, okay.

What does young docs taking 30 minutes have to do with this?

I believe it's not young docs, but CRNAs "wannabe docs" who often demand their breaks.

I will work for a dog if it pays 400+

Dogs are lovable. And mostly cute. Militant CRNAs not so much. Money is not everything. I don’t work for a CRNA group and make that money. You don’t have to.
