Why use Locum Tenens Providers?
Revenue Maximization
- In most instances, Locum Tenens providers more than pay for themselves in terms of professional service revenue.
- The absence of one provider for one week can cost thousands of dollars of lost revenue.
- In most cases, a hospital or clinic can bill for the Locum Tenens provider services using the permanent doctors provider numbers.
Risk Management
- The absence of one provider can cause increased wait-times, cancellations, and patient dissatisfaction.
- It takes an average of 9 to 12 months to recruit a permanent staff physician; Locum Tenens help bridge the gap.
- Work with a candidate on a Locum Tenens basis prior to making a permanent hire.
Additional Benefits
- Patient satisfaction
- Referring physician satisfaction
- Existing physician retention
- Locum Tenens providers can be brought in to demonstrate the RIO of an incremental position prior to the new medical physician joining the ranks permanently.
Also, in most cases, a hospital or clinic can bill for the locum tenens Healthcare Provider services using the permanent doctors provider numbers. This also applies for a period of six months if a temporary Healthcare Provider is taking over for a doctor who has been terminated or left the practice voluntarily.
Finally, be aware that special modifier codes can be used when a locum tenens Healthcare Provider begins seeing patients before their Medicare/Medicaid provider number applications have been processed.
