When the physicians are away from the clinic for holidays or other absences, they should arrange for a qualified physician (locum) to provide relief coverage.
Physicians establish locum arrangements under a private arrangement between themselves and the locum.
The processes for setting up a locum arrangement are as follows:
1. Cardiology Medical Group physician finds a locum physician to fill the vacancy.
2. The locum physician completes the Assignment of Payment Agreement.
3. The Cardiology Medical Group physician pays the locum according to the Assignment of Payment Agreement.
