Are these direct per diem? Wonder how much locums in LA is paying these days. Probably still wouldn't do it with the taxes and COL.

250 per diem is not good.

Are all those places using locums and/or per diems?

Per diem rates. Not sure if any use locums.

Agreed 250 isn't great. But at least they guarantee 8 hours pay.

250hr with 8 hours guaranteed is good? Come on, the going rate is 350+, 10hr guaranteed with mileage reimbursed.

Wow I was not aware of anyone offering that rate/guarantee in West LA. Please share which hospital.

$250 for 8 hours is probably better than $300 for OR time only. The only half decent rate on that list is UCLA.

Everyone has their own situation and it isn’t always about maximizing income. Some may not want to commute and have a reason to be in west LA.

I’m just saying $500k for 40 hours/week with no late nights or weekends isn’t terrible.

500k you need to work for Kaiser 50 weeks. holidays excluded, you need to work every week.

This is 1099. In addition, most CA folks carry their own malpractice insurance (I guess Kaiser covers)

I said the UCLA job was the only decent one listed ($300/hr for 8 hrs/day = $528k with 8 weeks vacation). I agree Kaiser is lowballing at $250/hr but simply pointed out that it's probably still better than $300/hr for OR time only.

So to summarize, for the above numbers, UCLA >>> Kaiser > Cedars/Saint John's.

Most I've seen is $350/hour and $400 OT if you're willing to drive 30-45 min. outside of the city.
