TeamHealth

What TeamHealth does

TeamHealth is a physician-founded, clinician-led healthcare services organization headquartered in Knoxville, Tennessee that has provided facility-based clinical staffing and management since 1979. The company contracts with more than 2,400 acute care hospitals and post-acute facilities across 500+ U.S. communities, deploying 18,000+ affiliated clinicians and operational staff who deliver care to approximately 29 million patients annually.

The company organizes its offering into nine clinical service lines: Acute Care Surgery, Anesthesiology, Behavioral Health, Critical Care, Emergency Medicine, Hospital Medicine, OB/GYN Hospitalist, Orthopedic Hospitalist, and Post-Acute Care. These are supported by a proprietary analytics and programs stack including Cognition (a clinical analytics platform modeling staffing, productivity, and throughput across hundreds of emergency departments), APEX (a standardized patient-experience improvement program), SmartPAC (a Five-Star quality measure program for post-acute care), and TeamACO (a Medicare Shared Savings Program ACO). Operating subsidiaries extend reach into adjacent services: AccessNurse provides 24/7 medical call-center triage to 500+ organizations, D&Y handles locum tenens placement, and Spectrum staffs U.S. Military Treatment Facilities, VA Clinics, and Federal Agencies.

TeamHealth earns revenue primarily through contractual staffing and management agreements with healthcare facilities (managed-services revenue), clinician fee-for-service billing (transaction-based) paid as productivity compensation without income caps, recurring monthly medical-directorship stipends, and Medicare shared-savings distributions via TeamACO. Distribution is purely B2B: a business development team pursues enterprise partnerships with hospital C-suite executives and medical directors, and a parallel recruitment organization sources clinicians via dedicated channels. The company operates as a privately held corporation under the legal name Team Health Holdings, Inc., with three physician co-founders still active in leadership roles alongside a professional CEO and C-suite.
