How Locum Tenens Staffing Works

How locum tenens staffing works

Locum tenens means a qualified provider covers your clinic for a set period so patients keep being seen. Here is what to expect from MedCare Staffing, start to finish.

Four steps

  1. Tell us what you need: specialty, location, dates and schedule.
  2. We send matched, credentialed profiles.
  3. You choose and confirm in writing with our client confirmation letter.
  4. Your provider starts, and we stay available for scheduling changes, timesheets and extensions.

What we handle: sourcing, screening, licensing and credentialing support, malpractice coverage, the confirmation letter, scheduling and timesheets. What you handle: onboarding at your site, EMR access, and any facility credentialing your bylaws require. What we do not handle: payer billing. Your billing team and payers manage that.
