Locum
Tenens - A Cost Effective Solution
It can take months – or longer – to hire a permanent, full-time
staff physician. So what do you for coverage during the search? A
locum tenens provider can be a cost-effective solution.
Revenue Consideration
When a physician temporarily leaves your facility or practice, even
short-term, a substantial amount of revenue is lost. Harris
Medical’s locum tenens physicians can immediately
help maintain your service levels and continue the generation of
patient revenue. All of the revenue generated by a locum
tenens physician stays with your practice or facility. You
can use locum tenens staffing to avoid having to close an office,
scale back procedures, and/or divert patients. During extra
busy times, it is more efficient and cost-effective to bring in
a locum tenens physician, rather than maintaining peak staffing
levels year round.
There is never a fee for initiating a search
with Harris Medical Associates. Every search
is handled on a contingency basis and you are under no obligation
until you accept a specific physician for specific dates of service.
Skilled and Qualified Providers
The majority of our locum tenens physicians are licensed in more
than 1 state and credentialed more often, and more recently, than
the majority of physicians on permanent staff. Because a
locum physician works in more environments and facilities than
the average U.S. physician, and because his or her training and
experience undergo perpetual scrutiny, that physician is more likely
to be up-to-date on the latest technologies too. All of Harris
Medical’s providers are credentialed according to
Joint Commission and NCQA standards. |
