Its own employees cost it $52.05 an hour that year, a premium of 91%. Wider than the typical California hospital that year, which sat at 61%; against a national median of 85%.
The hospital reported both figures itself, on the same line of the same federal form.
| Fiscal year | Employed hour | Contract hour | Premium |
|---|---|---|---|
| FY2022 | $46.96 | $150.03 | |
| FY2023 | $48.13 | $118.76 | |
| FY2024 | $50.67 | $98.39 | |
| FY2025 | $52.05 | $99.20 |
No usable filing for FY2021, either because the hospital reported no contract labour that year or because the figures it filed did not survive a plausibility check.

Line 11 reports what it paid for direct patient care furnished under contract, which the instructions define as nursing, diagnostic, therapeutic and rehabilitative services. Both lines carry an hourly rate the facility calculates itself, and the premium here is one measured against the other.
The premium is the gap in hourly cost to the facility. It is not an agency profit margin, because the contract rate also carries the agency’s payroll taxes, insurance, credentialing and overhead, and the employed rate excludes the facility’s own benefits.
