Hire them, no buyout
Want them on staff? Make the offer. No conversion fee, no placement fee, no clause we can invoke.
Specialty call coverage
A shift opens at 8 PM. Every physician credentialed to take it hears at once, and the first yes closes it.
A closed service line diverts. A diverted patient is revenue and reputation that does not come back.
How coverage moves
A posted shift reaches your own credentialed physicians and stops there. Widening it is a decision you make, and you can pull it back.
Everyone credentialed at your facility hears at once. Not a phone tree working down a list.
Reaches your sister hospitals. Still your people.
Only if you take this step, and only if your policy allows it at all.
Coverage never widens on a timer unless you switch that on. It is off until you do.
Nothing charged to the physician, and nothing taken out of the rate you post.
What a shift costs

The agency column is all-in, not margin: travel, licensing, and the minimum block that makes you buy days you do not need. EA Health client hospitals run free for 90 days.
No integration and no patient data. Contracting, billing and payment run through EA Health.
If you like them, keep them
An agency charges you to keep the physician it sent. Neither that nor the contract applies here.
Want them on staff? Make the offer. No conversion fee, no placement fee, no clause we can invoke.
You watched them work, in your building, with your nurses. That beats a CV and an agency's word.
No minimum, no term. Call your usual agency next Tuesday if you want.
What you do not have to do
Shifts, credentials and payments. Nothing clinical.
Nothing touches your EHR or scheduler.
No licence, no seats, no minimum.
Nothing to install is nothing to review.
We load your roster. You post a shift.
Most facilities post within seven days.
