Just Be Aware of Who you are Contracting With
I have 2 worked as a physician provider with LC.com for 2 years on two separate jobs.
#1. LC.com does not necessarily have a direct relationship with the clinic/hospital. They may be contracting you out through another company such as AHSA
#2. As a physician you are a money making machine for them and that is all you are.
#3. Lack of attention to detail. I called them on a job I was to start on short notice and told them my mother was dying and to please contact the facility to let them know. It was not done. I was called by the facility while I was sitting with my dying mother.
#4. When the CEO of the hospital told the entire medical unit where I worked how much they paid for me (breech of contract), LC.com did nothing about it. I had to go meet with the CEO to let him know how uncomfortable his breech of contract made it for me to continue working there.
#5. Based on a colleagues experience that I was part of at the time, they do not pay you when there is a dispute over hours. They don't even pay the base rate. They went over 6 weeks before they paid this other provider.
#6. Refusal to release me 2 months prior to the end of my 24 month agreement leaving a birthing unit to close its doors and go on divert. They do not care about patients delivering on the side of the road. They do not care about physician contractors or the hospitals where they provide services.
#7. They are not part of the Better Business Bureau
#8. Beware....they will throw you under the bus professionally in a heart beat.
