Why Use a Locum Tenens Company?

Use of a locum tenens company is an increasingly popular option for both medical personnel and medical care facilities. Contracting provides reliable income and benefits for physicians even in a volatile marketplace. Just as importantly, a locum tenens company provides medical facilities with carefully screened, qualified personnel replacements when they need it most, to ensure service continuity for patients.

For any medical facility, nothing is more important than being fully staffed by competent, caring professionals. Locum tenens physicians can fill the gap for a number of common situations:

• To fill in interim while searching for a permanent physician.
• For continuing coverage during staff vacations or leaves of absence.
• To respond to greater need during area disasters or seasonal population fluctuations.
• Gap coverage for contract turnovers.

Regardless of reason, loss of medical personnel can disrupt the revenue stream and damage the reputation of a medical facility. Using a locum tenens company to fill temporary or long-term gaps helps keep the office running smoothly, keep the patients happy and healthy, and the revenue stream and referral relationships intact.

Using a Locum Tenens Company is Easy

Cost-Effectiveness

While it is true that the hourly wage of a locum tenens can exceed the amount paid to full-time employees, once fringe benefits such as vacations, insurance coverage, CME, and taxes are factored in, the cost is comparable to average salary and considerations. When you consider how much revenue is lost when a key physician is not available for work, the cost-effective measure of hiring a locum tenens becomes far more obvious. You can also skip the expense and headaches associated with recruiting a replacement.
