Find Locums Anesthesia Work in Houston — No Agency Required
Houston is one of the largest and most active anesthesia markets in the United States, with hundreds of ambulatory surgery centers, hospitals, and specialty clinics requiring qualified anesthesia coverage every day. For independent locum tenens anesthesiologists (MDs) and CRNAs who prefer to work on a 1099 or locums basis, finding reliable, well-compensated cases has historically required going through a staffing agency — which takes a significant cut of your earnings and limits your flexibility.
Staffanes' Houston 1099 Anesthesia Staffing Marketplace changes that. It is a direct-connect platform where independent anesthesia providers can browse open shifts posted by Houston-area facilities and accept the cases that fit their schedule — without any formal agency involvement. Facilities post their available shifts with full compensation details, and providers accept directly.
Whether you are an anesthesiologist building an independent practice, a CRNA looking to supplement your income, or a surgical center that needs reliable 1099 anesthesia coverage, this marketplace was built for you.

Facilities can specify whether they require MD supervision or are open to independent CRNA practice.
Ambulatory Surgery Centers — Houston Area
ASCs that need reliable, vetted anesthesia coverage for scheduled cases can post open shifts and receive applications from qualified independent providers. Market rate guidance helps you set competitive compensation that fills shifts efficiently.
Hospitals and Specialty Clinics
Hospitals needing supplemental anesthesia coverage for high-volume or specialty cases, and specialty clinics requiring qualified anesthesia for office-based procedures, can access the full pool of vetted Houston-area independent providers.
Why Choose a Direct Locums Anesthesia Marketplace Over a Staffing Agency?
Traditional anesthesia locums staffing agencies in Houston typically charge facilities a significant markup over the provider's actual rate, while also taking a cut from the provider's compensation. This model benefits the agency, not the anesthesiologist or the facility.
The Staffanes marketplace is built on full transparency. Facilities post their compensation directly, and providers see the exact rate before accepting any shift. A small booking fee per shift is charged to the facility — clearly disclosed at the time of posting. The rate the facility sets is the rate the provider receives. No hidden markups, no surprises on either side.
