Traveling Independent Contractor

I have worked with several travel agencies and but through word of mouth found a traveling job as an independent contractor. I want to continue to work as an independent contractor but wonder if there is an easier way to find a position then cold calling. When talking to traveling companies they always refer to their 'Lists" of available openings. How do I get access to these lists? If you go to a site like Absolutely Healthcare they don't give the name of the facility and direct you to a recruiter. Is there a subscription based list that facilities send their postings to?

Hello, I recently applied for an NPI number and Medicaid provider number to do "independent contract" work, however, Idid it thru a company that provides me with family contact information. I turn, they get 15% of what i make as a "fee". I too want to break away from this. If ido find anything in the way of a list i will let you know.BTW, is it home care you are doing? Where are you located?

DeeER~RN,

I appreciate your post here. I too would like to get into independent contractor deal, but I would need help on this. Kindly show me the ropes please.
What company did you go with?

Thanks.

Charlee,

I did sign up with a company called TFC staffing and billing. it's located in NY. I have yet to take an assignment with them though. I am hoping to try and find work without the help of the agency. There is a way to apply directly for an NPI without paying what I paid ($125) for the agency to handle the paperwork. However, it is A LOT of paper i must say. You can go to this link....http://www.cms.hhs.gov/cmsforms/downloads/CMS10114.pdf
that is a link to the initial application and there may be a phone number where you can get more information. I don't know how much this will help but Good luck and if you need help finding out more info let me know.
