Scenario:

Professional staff outsourcing has become a popular strategy for healthcare organizations trying to control the rising costs of providing services. In outsourcing arrangements, an external contractor assumes responsibility for managing one or more of a healthcare organization's business, clinical, or hospitality services.

Your client, Medics4Rent Professional Services ("Medics4Rent") is a Delaware corporation with its headquarters in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It is a national healthcare staffing organization that employs many different kinds of healthcare professionalssuch as nurses, radiology physicians, anesthesiology physicians, etc.and "loans" them for a fee to hospitals and other healthcare institutions throughout the United States.

Saint John's Regional General Hospital of the Central Valley, Inc. operates a 600-bed, nonprofit hospital located in Stockton, California. It was in the news recently when Hollywood heartthrob Jon Cabeza de Vaca successfully underwent cosmetic surgery there. The hospital has faced challenges filling its anesthesiology staffing requirements and controlling its costs. For these reasons, the hospital has decided that it wants to outsource some of its anesthesiology staffing.

Medics4Rent and the hospital have orally agreed on the details of a contract under which Medics4Rent would station four of its board-certified anesthesiologists at the hospital's Stockton facility at an annual fee of $400,000 USD per full-time (35 hours per week) anesthesiologist.

Jamie Stern, the president of Medics4Rent, explained the following details of the relationships that will exist among the hospital, Medics4Rent, and the anesthesiologists: "We'll still be the anesthesiologists' employer, and we'll handle all payroll matters for them (including payment of salaries, withholding of income taxes, payment of unemployment insurance, etc.). We will also administer their employment benefits (such as medical, dental, and life insurance)." Ms. Stern added that even though the anesthesiologists will not be direct employees of the hospital, while they are working there, they will have to comply with the hospital's workplace safety and other medical personnel rules.

Medics4Rent will begin providing its anesthesiology services to the hospital on February 28, 2023. It will provide services for one year. The hospital will pay Medics4Rent a flat fee of $33,333 USD per month per full-time anesthesiologist. The monthly fee will be payable in advance of the month in which the services are rendered.
