# What will AGI do for Locum Tenens Premium Costs?

## Overview

Healthcare administrators and clinical directors rely on locum tenens physicians to fill immediate coverage gaps and maintain patient volume. Because these gaps arise unpredictably, facilities buy temporary labor through specialized staffing agencies. These agencies charge exorbitant markups that add thirty to fifty percent on top of the physician hourly rate, turning temporary staffing into a volatile operating expense.

The persistence of these premium costs stems from fragmentation and opacity in the matching process. Agencies exploit the administrative friction of cross-state licensing, facility credentialing, and malpractice insurance underwriting to justify their margins. Facilities lack direct visibility into the pool of available physicians, forcing them to depend on recruiters who manually broker placements and shield actual labor costs behind bundled rates.

Existing vendor management systems act as digital procurement portals for agencies rather than disintermediating them. They consolidate billing but do not bypass the broker markup or automate the underlying credentialing bottlenecks. This leaves healthcare systems trapped in a cycle of paying premium fees simply to access physicians willing to work without a middleman.
