Neurology pay: locum, telehealth, per diem & consulting rates (2026)
Real data on what neurology physicians earn across every type of physician work. Tell us yours, and we'll show you what direct looks like.
What we hear from neurology physicians
Neurologists tell us facility bill rates for inpatient consults and teleneuro often run $300–$350/hr, while agencies pay out closer to $240–$260/hr — a tighter spread than most specialties but still real money. Direct rates we've seen on Saile run higher because there's no middleman. The actual number depends on subspecialty (stroke, EEG, general) and shift type.
The Spread
What your staffing agency isn't telling you
When a facility pays a markup rate for your shift, where does the difference go? It's not malpractice. It's not credentialing. It's the spread — the gap between what the facility is billed and what you take home. Most agencies will never show you the bill rate. We will.

Frequently asked questions
How much do neurologists make as locums? +
Locum neurologists typically earn $225–$400/hr depending on subspecialty and shift type. Direct rates on Saile can run higher because there's no agency markup.
What do staffing agencies take from neurology placements? +
Neurology agency spreads commonly run 20–30% of the facility bill rate — often $60–$100/hr per shift kept by the agency.
Can neurologists work locum without an agency? +
Yes. Saile connects neurologists directly with hospitals, teleneuro groups, and outpatient practices — no agency, no non-compete.
Is there teleneurology work on Saile? +
Yes. Tele-stroke, EEG reads, and remote consults post regularly. Create a profile to see what's live.
