Weatherby Healthcare

What Weatherby Healthcare does

Weatherby Healthcare, founded in 1995 and headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, is one of the largest US locum tenens staffing agencies and operates as a division of CHG Healthcare, the nation's leading physician and advanced practice workforce solutions provider. The company places physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) in temporary assignments across more than 100 medical specialties and all 50 US states, with additional service delivery into Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. A secondary office is located in Raleigh, North Carolina, and headcount includes 600+ specialty-trained consultants and credentialing, travel, and housing support staff.

The core product surface centers on the MyWeatherby portal and mobile application, which functions as a unified command center for assignment management, credentials, time entry, travel, and AI-powered job matching. Adjacent products include specialty-specific job boards for physicians, PAs, NPs, and CRNAs; the Locums Revenue Estimator for healthcare facilities; a $1,000 double-sided referral program; and the annual Locum Tenens Physician Report. Weatherby acts as employer of record, handling payroll, benefits, malpractice insurance with tail coverage, licensing assistance (via the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact), and travel/housing logistics, while healthcare facilities pay a markup on physician hourly rates.

Go-to-market is hybrid: enterprise field sales engages hospitals, health systems, and clinics for coverage needs (with placements often within 10 days), while inside sales reaches out to providers and a self-serve portal supports ongoing engagement. Pricing is quote-based and usage-based, with disclosed hourly ranges of $160-$230 for CRNAs, $100-$120 for physician assistants, and $80-$105 for nurse practitioners, varying by specialty, geography, shift type, and urgency. The customer base is intentionally diversified across thousands of healthcare organizations and tens of thousands of providers, with the parent CHG Healthcare and CHG Healthcare Foundation, Floating Doctors, and Partners for World Health serving as core partnership and ecosystem assets.
