Clint Cummins, CEO of the Memphis Medical Society, said he and colleagues will work with the Tennessee Medical Association to lobby state and federal officials on reimbursement rates in upcoming legislative sessions.

Employers are also feeling the pinch as health insurance costs keep rising, Cummins said. And broadly, reimbursements are trending in the wrong direction, he said.

“There’s some facts and figures out there that basically say when you adjust for inflation, physicians are down 30% over the last 25 years on their reimbursement levels,” Cummins said. “And so we’re constantly trying to get those increased where we can.”

The costs of an open position add up quickly.

Fewer appointments, increased overtime, reduced productivity, and more pressure on the employees carrying the load. The longer it's open, the greater the impact on your business.

Filling the position matters. Finding the right person matters more.

MedTemps helps hospitals, clinics, and medical practices recruit qualified healthcare professionals, reducing the time spent searching, screening, and recruiting.

From Medical Assistants to NPs, PAs to billing professionals, MedTemps finds the people you need to keep your organization moving.

Our friends at Vitalant - South have asked us to help spread an important message.

"Because platelets are highly perishable and must be transfused within about a week, we cannot simply build a large reserve and rely on it when patients need us. We need committed platelet donors continually stepping forward to help maintain a stable supply."
