  We provide comprehensive professional liability insurance

  VISTA Staffing Solutions provides professional liability insurance through our A+ rated carrier, Evanston, for every hour a physician works through us. Our volume and positive claims history make malpractice coverage more affordable. The policy has individual limits of $1 million per claim/$3 million annual aggregate per physician. Because it is a claims-made policy, our coverage is continually updated to reflect economic trends, changes in the market, and shifting national health policy. Our physicians are covered whenever a claim arises from work arranged by VISTA, even if they are no longer active members of the VISTA physician group.

  We get the physician licensed in time

  We understand the licensing requirements and timeframes in each state, and will manage the licensing process to ensure that your VISTA Locum Tenens physician is licensed in time for your assignment. We pay for this licensing for the physicians who work with us.

  We ensure accurate billing and physician compensation

  VISTA physicians fill out a work record every two weeks, which is signed off by your designee so there are no surprises. All of the revenue generated by the physician stays with your organization, so the service generally pays for itself.
