Coverage you can plan around.
Locum tenens physicians for critical access hospitals, rural hospitals, clinics, and community and tribal health. One point of contact, a complete file and terms in writing.
Every gap has a reason.
Coverage usually starts with one of these.
- Holding a position open until you hire permanently
- Covering a physician who has left
- Parental leave, medical leave and vacations
- A busy season or a growing service
- Nights, weekends and call that your team can't cover alone
What working with Safire looks like.
A named physician
We present a specific doctor who fits your dates, schedule and call, with licenses and availability confirmed. You talk with them before you decide.
A file built for your committee
Credentials checked at the source and organized to your medical staff's checklist. We track your committee's calendar and chase every missing piece.
One rate, and what it covers
Physician pay and malpractice coverage are in the rate. How travel and lodging are billed is agreed in writing up front. Nothing appears on the invoice that wasn't agreed.
Fair terms, both ways
Cancellation notice that binds us as well as you. If you want to hire the physician permanently, the fee is set in advance and gets smaller the longer they've worked with you.
Checked before we present anyone.
Every item at the source, not from a copy the physician sends us.
- Identity, work authorization and NPI
- Medical school, residency and fellowship
- Every state license, active and unrestricted
- DEA and state controlled-substance registrations
- Board certification and its current status
- Federal and state exclusion lists, rechecked every month on assignment
- Malpractice history, and clearance from our carrier
- References from recent clinical work
- Work history, with every gap explained
- Health screening and the life-support certifications your facility requires
Your medical staff still grants privileges. Our job is to hand you a complete file, so the decision is an easy one.
