Locumize is a technology marketplace that connects licensed physicians directly with healthcare facilities seeking locum tenens coverage. We are not a staffing agency, employer, or healthcare provider. All work arrangements are negotiated and agreed upon directly between you and the facility — Locumize simply facilitates that connection.

By using Locumize you are operating as an independent contractor — not an employee of Locumize. You decide which assignments to accept, set your own rates, and manage your own schedule. You are responsible for your own tax filings (including self-employment taxes) and compliance with state medical licensing requirements in every state where you practice.

Locumize charges physicians absolutely nothing. No sign-up fee. No placement fee. No commission deducted from your earnings. You negotiate your rate directly with the facility and receive 100% of that agreed amount. Locumize generates revenue exclusively from facility subscription fees.

You agree to: (1) Keep your medical license current and in good standing in every state where you practice, and notify Locumize immediately if your license status changes. (2) Maintain an accurate, up-to-date profile. (3) Cooperate fully with the Provider Trust verification process. (4) Follow all applicable laws, regulations, and facility-specific policies during assignments. (5) Respond to facility inquiries in a timely, professional manner. (6) Submit timesheets accurately through the Locumize platform after each completed shift.

By accepting this agreement, you consent to Locumize (through Provider Trust) conducting: identity verification, medical license verification across all relevant state boards, DEA registration checks, board certification confirmation, OIG/SAM exclusion database searches, malpractice history review, and employment history verification. Verified credential information will be shared with facilities you engage with. You may dispute inaccurate results directly through Provider Trust's dispute process.

Locumize collects your professional information to operate the platform matching process. When you express interest in a facility, your profile and credential summary will be shared with that facility. Please review our full Privacy Policy for details on how your data is handled. If you access patient health information during any assignment, you are solely responsible for full compliance with HIPAA and HITECH requirements.

Locumize provides the platform on an as-is basis and is not responsible for: the accuracy of information submitted by facilities, medical outcomes or clinical decisions during assignments, payment disputes between physicians and facilities, or employment-related issues arising from the physician-facility relationship. Because physicians use Locumize at no charge, Locumize's maximum liability to you is zero dollars.

You may terminate this Agreement and close your account at any time. Locumize may suspend or terminate your account at any time, with or without prior notice, including if your medical license is revoked or suspended, if you misrepresent your credentials, if you breach these terms or our Terms of Service, for conduct that harms the platform or its users, or as required by law. We will notify you by email where reasonably possible, except where immediate action is required. Any obligations under active assignments remain in effect upon termination.

This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Texas. Any unresolved disputes will first go through a 30-day good-faith negotiation period, then to binding individual arbitration under the American Arbitration Association rules. Class action lawsuits are not permitted under this agreement.
