Healgorithm appears in the locu.ms locum tenens agency directory as a NALTO member. Below is a checklist of questions worth asking any locum agency before you sign — the answers, not a brand name, are what protect your pay and your license.

Questions to ask any locum agency

  1. 01
    What is your markup on my rate?
    The agency bills the facility more than it pays you. A transparent agency will discuss the spread; the size of that markup is the single biggest variable in locum pay.
  2. 02
    Is malpractice coverage occurrence or claims-made — and who pays the tail?
    Claims-made policies leave a gap when the assignment ends unless a tail is purchased. Confirm the policy type in writing and who is responsible for tail coverage.
  3. 03
    When and how often do you pay — and is there a guarantee?
    Payment timing (weekly vs. monthly, days to first check) and any minimum-hours or shift guarantee belong in the contract, not a verbal promise.
  4. 04
    Are you a NALTO member, and do you follow its code of ethics?
    NALTO membership signals a published code of conduct. It is not a guarantee of any outcome, but it is a reasonable question to ask.
  5. 05
    How does your recruiter conduct work — will you present my CV only with my permission?
    Reputable agencies get explicit consent before submitting your CV to a facility, to avoid duplicate submissions that can cost you an assignment.
