When
will I be Able to do Locum
Tenens?
It all
depends on your comfort level
and the client’s needs. Even
though you have just finished
your anesthesia program and
are ready to take on a variety
of cases, locums must be
comfortable to work in a
variety of situations,
including being solo. Being a
locum is more than just
performing anesthesia, and
gaining experience in a
Permanent position is the best
way to prepare for your future
in locum tenens.

What
Income Can I Expect to Earn?

What
is a Medicare Number For?
Now that
you are an anesthesia
provider, the Medicare cases
you provide anesthesia for
need to be billed for. By May
of 2007, every provider will
be required to have an NPI
(National Provider Identifier)
for Medicare billing purposes,
so we recommend getting one
right off the bat. For more
information regarding the NPI,
please visit the “Helpful
Links” section of our website.
