How LocumBid works

A transparent marketplace for locums coverage.

Instead of emailing agencies and waiting for callbacks, hospitals post shifts directly and physicians bid on them in real time. You stay in control of rate, credentialing, and contract terms.

1
Hospitals post open shifts

Create a coverage request in minutes: dates, shift type, specialty, on-call details, and internal budget. Control which providers can see and bid on each posting.

2
Providers bid directly

Verified locum physicians see real rates and submit bids. You can auto-accept bids under a target rate or negotiate with a short list of candidates.

3
Sign, work, pay & reconcile

LocumBid streamlines contracts, e-signatures, timesheets, and payment rails. Hospitals save on agency margins; providers get higher take-home for the same work.

For healthcare organizations
Cut agency costs, not coverage quality.
  • Slash middleman markups. Pay directly for professional fees, with platform pricing that stays single-digit.
  • Build a bench of trusted locums you can re-engage with a click. Track performance, credentialing, and feedback in one place.
  • Visual dashboards for total locums spend, rates, and utilization so finance and leadership actually know where dollars go.
  • Integrations with existing HR and credentialing tools to avoid duplicating workflows.
For physicians & APPs
Higher income, more control.
  • Bid directly with facilities and see what the hospital actually pays. No more guessing the agency margin.
  • Configure preferred schedules like 7 on / 14 off, swing, nights, or weekends-only and get matched automatically.
  • Unified profile, credential packet, and history—no more repeating the same forms for each agency.
  • Faster payment options and transparent cancellation and overtime policies baked into every posting.

FAQ

Common questions from both sides of the table.

LocumBid isn’t an agency. It’s infrastructure that lets hospitals and clinicians work together directly. Below are a few of the questions we hear most often.

Is LocumBid a staffing agency?
No. LocumBid is a marketplace and workflow platform. Hospitals and providers contract directly with each other; we handle the rails for discovery, contracting, and payments.
How does pricing work for hospitals?
We charge a transparent platform fee per shift or per contract, typically a single-digit percentage of the professional fee—far below traditional agency margins.
How do you vet physicians and APPs?
Every provider completes verification of licensure, DEA, board status, and malpractice history. Hospitals can layer on additional credentialing requirements and internal approvals.
Can I still use my existing locums agencies?
Absolutely. Most organizations start by routing a portion of new coverage needs through LocumBid to benchmark cost and time-to-fill, then ramp up usage based on results.
Compliance & legal. LocumBid supports standard hospital contract structures and indemnification language. We work with your legal and credentialing teams to align templates with your policies and state regulations.
Data & security. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Access controls can be set at facility, department, and role level to keep PHI and rate data where it belongs.
