Risk
Running your own 1099 program means carrying the risk yourself.
Every independent contractor your group engages directly is an exposure you own — classification, documentation, coverage, and compliance. As your Contractor of Record, Odyssey takes that administrative and compliance burden off your organization.
Worker misclassification
Engaging physicians directly as 1099 contractors puts classification decisions, and the penalties for getting them wrong, on your organization.
With Odyssey
Odyssey serves as the Contractor of Record. The independent contractor agreement and relationship sit with us, not with your group.
Audit and reporting exposure
1099 reporting, tax documentation, and payment records have to be complete and consistent across every contractor, every year.
With Odyssey
Standardized agreements, 1099 reporting, and tax documentation handled the same way for every provider.
Malpractice claims and the cost of coverage
Arranging coverage for every contractor, carrying its cost, and responding when a claim arises is a significant financial and administrative commitment for your organization.
With Odyssey
Odyssey arranges and maintains malpractice coverage for every provider on every assignment — the cost and administration of coverage sit with us.
Credentialing and expirables tracking
Tracking licenses, certifications, and privileges across every contractor is constant, detailed work that pulls your team away from the roles they were hired for.
With Odyssey
Credentialing, privileging, and expirables tracked and monitored continuously by Odyssey — your team gets that time back.
Documentation workload
Building and maintaining complete contractor files takes real hours from your team, month after month, across every provider you engage.
With Odyssey
One standardized process and one documentation trail for every contractor, maintained by Odyssey.
