A locum tenens firm’s verification department is integral in verifying the quality of candidates being submitted to health care organizations (aka the clients of the locum tenens organization) for their coverage needs. Practitioner candidates working through a locum tenens firm will be endorsed on the firm’s professional liability insurance policy.
To determine if a potential candidate can be approved to practice under the firm’s policy, they are required to complete a verification packet. This packet includes items such as a Release of Authorization form, used when verifying a candidate’s credentials and a malpractice application. This form asks the candidate to give details of their education/training, work history/affiliations, malpractice history and asks the candidate disclosure questions relating to their current and past medical practice history.
