Service

Nomad Health operates in the temporary medical outsourcing industry, in a marketplace in which medical facilities and clinicians can find each other. [2] [4] It makes money by charging commission fees to employers when people are hired as contractors, and competes with employment agency recruiters by setting its commission lower than theirs.

In July 2017, Nomad Health expanded its platform to include nurses in addition to physicians. [16] [17] Then in November 2017, Nomad Health expanded to include telemedicine. [18] [19]
