Gastroenterology Rate Breakdown in Maryland
Industry rate ranges from published sources (AMN Healthcare 2026, NALTO). Rates vary by call structure, facility size, and procedure mix.
Is locum gastroenterologist work 1099 or W-2 in Maryland?
All Locums One placements in Maryland are 1099 independent contractor agreements. We do not function as an employer of record. Physicians retain full autonomy over their schedule, retain their own professional liability coverage (which we verify at $1M/$3M claims-made), and receive 1099 income documentation. This is the standard structure for locum tenens nationwide and enables significant tax advantages — S-Corp election, business deductions, and solo 401k contributions typically save $30K–$60K annually versus W-2 employment.
Outpatient Endoscopy (No Call)
$350–$390/hr
Standard GI procedures, no inpatient — published industry range from AMN Healthcare 2026 and NALTO benchmarks
Inpatient Consults + Endoscopy
$370–$460/hr
Hybrid inpatient/outpatient — published industry range
Advanced Endoscopy (ERCP / EUS)
$400–$540/hr
High-complexity proceduralist — top of published range
Weekend Call / Holiday Coverage
$390–$525/hr
Call with backup, peak demand — published industry range

Built Different. Here's How.
Your Locum Career, Managed End-to-End
Other agencies place you on one assignment, then you start the paperwork from zero on the next. We carry it forward.
Your credentialing packet, license expirations, malpractice tail coverage, tax-pro consult, year-ahead assignment planning — all tracked in one place by the same team. You stay focused on patients. We handle the rest of your locum career.
IMLC application service — for $99 refundable deposit we handle your full multi-state application, you get 40+ state licenses in 3–4 weeks
Nobody else in locum tenens does this end-to-end. We built it because every founder here lived through what didn't.
What's Bundled in Every Assignment
One number on every contract. Everything below included:
- •Malpractice — $1M/$3M claims-made with tail. No separate invoice.
- •Travel + lodging — round-trip + furnished housing within a 60-mile radius
- •1099 tax-pro consult — a CPA on retainer for your 1099 questions, free for placed physicians
- •License-renewal tracking — we monitor your state expirations and prompt 90 days out
- •Same recruiter every assignment — see the next block
One contract. One bill. One number that already includes the things other agencies bill separately.
Same Recruiter Every Assignment
Other agencies hand you to a new recruiter every job. The first call is always "Tell me about your case mix..." — again. We don't.
Your recruiter knows your specialty, your case-mix preferences, your spouse's name, and which Tuesday you can't be on call. They stay with you across every assignment, every state, every year. The relationship compounds.
What We Won't Do
- •No name-clearing without your written approval.
- •No CV submissions to facilities you didn't review first.
- •No calls during shifts.
- •No surprise fees post-acceptance.
- •No "your rate just changed because the facility renegotiated."
Predictability beats every other selling point in locum tenens. We commit to it in writing.
We Optimize for You, Not the Facility
Most agencies measure success by placements made. We measure it by physicians who book a second assignment.
Same bid, two physicians? We push back to the facility for the better-fit candidate, not the one who'll close fastest.
Better-paying gig at a different agency? We tell you. (Then we work to win you back next round with a better one.)
We work for you. The facility relationships compound when you stay — that's the model.
Built by Physicians Who Got Tired of This
Locums One was built by physicians who spent years on the receiving end of opaque agencies. Every workflow — credentialing, contract review, rate negotiation, malpractice handling — was designed by someone who'd been a locum themselves and watched the system break in the same places, every time.
We're not a tech company that figured out staffing. We're a physician company that figured out tech.
The Cost of Opaque Agencies
The typical locum loses $40,000–$60,000/year to hidden agency markup. Most never see the bill rate, only the take-home.
We publish the math. Our gated rate sheet shows what facilities actually pay, what physicians take home, what we keep, and where every other line item goes.
Physicians who read it and switch see the difference inside one assignment cycle.
One Bill Rate. Everything Included.
What you pay. What they get. One number.
Every locum gastroenterology placement bundles malpractice, travel, lodging, and compensation into a single transparent bill rate.
Malpractice
INCLUDED$1M/$3M claims-made professional liability coverage for every locum gastroenterology. No separate invoices. No surprise bills at month-end.

INCLUDEDRound-trip travel and furnished lodging within 60 miles of the facility. We handle booking, not the hospital admin team. No expense reports to process.
Transparent Compensation
GUARANTEEDYou see exactly what the gastroenterology earns and exactly what Locums One retains. Transparent markup — not the hidden industry standard.
