Frequently Asked Questions

Locum tenens is temporary clinical work: you cover a hospital or surgery center for a set period, from a few days to many months, at an hourly or daily rate agreed in writing before you start. HSP matches you with the facility, handles the credentialing paperwork, provides malpractice coverage and pays you for the work; the facility sets the shift schedule, and the anesthesia is yours.

CRNAs, CAAs (Certified Anesthesiologist Assistants) and anesthesiologists, including cardiac and pediatric anesthesiologists. HSP staffs anesthesia only, so every recruiter you talk to knows the difference between a CRNA, a CAA and an MD, what an ACT model means for your day, and what a credentialing packet for an anesthesia provider actually needs.

Both. Most of our openings are locum tenens; we also fill PRN shifts and permanent positions, where the facility hires you as its own employee, and we help facilities convert a locum provider to a permanent hire when both sides want that. Our agreements carry no non-compete, and we do not own your name or your CV.

HSP is headquartered in Tampa, Florida, with operations in seven states and placements across the Southeast and Midwest. Open positions today are in Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Texas.

Create a provider account at hospitalstaffingpartners.com/register, or call 813-434-0480. A recruiter will learn what you are looking for, and send you the openings that fit. There is no fee to join and no obligation to accept an assignment.

Yes. Every listing on our job board shows the rate range, the city and state, the assignment type and the start date.

You tell us the dates you are available and decide which assignments to accept. The facility schedules its shifts from the availability you give it; HSP does not set your hours, supervise your work or evaluate you.

Yes. Many of our providers contract through their own LLC, PLLC or professional corporation, and HSP pays that company directly. You are free to work with other agencies and in your own practice at the same time.

Your rates are in the confirmation letter for each assignment, in writing before you accept: the rate for the work, any rate that applies beyond the scheduled shift or after a set number of hours in a week, the call rate, and any minimum hours the facility has agreed to. You submit the hours you worked each week, the facility approves them, and HSP pays you or your company by direct deposit.

Every two weeks, by direct deposit to you or your company, for the work on your approved timesheets.

Locum tenens and PRN providers work with HSP as independent contractors (1099). You sign an independent contractor agreement and provide a W-9 when you join. HSP does not employ providers; when you take a permanent position, the facility employs you directly on its own terms.

No. HSP charges facilities a fixed hourly fee on top of your rate, so your rate is your rate. What you see on the offer is what you are paid. Because our fee does not change with your rate, a higher rate the facility agrees to goes to you.

Yes. HSP provides A+ rated malpractice coverage on every locum tenens and PRN assignment.

It depends on the facility. Travel and lodging are reimbursed when the facility agrees to cover them, and each offer lists what is reimbursed before you accept. Short coverage may carry a flat day rate instead.

When a facility guarantees a minimum number of hours, the offer says so, along with the notice the facility owes you. Usually, either you or the facility can end any shift or the whole assignment with 30 days written notice.

Yes. Our credentialing team prepares and submits your application to the facility, which grants privileges on its own terms, and keeps you posted at every step. Timelines are set by each facility and typically run several weeks to a few months.

Yes. Your licenses, board certification and DEA registration are yours to hold and keep current, and every assignment needs the license that state requires for your role. Your recruiter tells you up front which licenses an opening needs.

From single PRN shifts to coverage that runs six months or longer. Each assignment has set dates in its confirmation letter; when you and the facility both want to continue, it is renewed on a new letter.

Hospital Staffing Partners was founded in Tampa, Florida in September 2022 by Todd Horowitz, D.O., a board-certified anesthesiologist who spent 14 years as a clinical medical director and then worked locum tenens himself, and Aaron L. Gordon, Esq., a corporate attorney. Dr. Horowitz is the CEO; Mr. Gordon is the COO and General Counsel. Dr. Horowitz still works clinically, including cardiac anesthesia coverage at HSP facilities.

HSP does anesthesia and nothing else, it is run by a practicing anesthesiologist, and its fee to facilities is a fixed hourly amount rather than a hidden spread on your rate. You get a recruiter who answers the phone and knows your specialty, not a call center. When your schedule, call or days off need to change, we take it up with the facility for you.
