Mint Physician Staffing

What Mint Physician Staffing does

Mint Physician Staffing is a U.S. locum tenens staffing agency that places physicians, advanced practice providers (APPs), and dental providers at hospitals, clinics, and dental practices nationwide. Founded in 1996 and headquartered in Houston, Texas, the company operates as a subsidiary brand of Cross Country Healthcare (NASDAQ: CCRN) following its acquisition in October 2022 alongside Lotus Medical Staffing. The brand is positioned within the "One Cross Country" framework alongside Cross Country Locums, with operations nationally across the United States. The company has received multiple industry recognitions including Great Place to Work Certification, Best of Staffing Client Award, Comparably Awards, Allied VIP Top Agency, and RN VIP Top Agency.

The company's service portfolio centers on contingent physician and provider placement, encompassing candidate sourcing, credentialing, travel coordination, payroll, and ongoing assignment support. Its supporting technology stack includes the Xperience Travel Portal, Beyond VMS (Vendor Management System), Vendor Neutral VMS, Insights and Analytics, and MSP Solutions, providing workforce management infrastructure for healthcare clients. The business model generates revenue through bill rates that incorporate a markup over the placed provider's compensation, plus administrative fees for credentialing, travel, and logistics services. Customer segments span hospitals, clinics, dental practices, and other healthcare facilities, with deployments distributed across the U.S.

Mint Physician Staffing has approximately 101-250 employees and is being integrated with Cross Country Locums and Lotus Medical Staffing under consolidated operations. Cross Country Healthcare was itself acquired by Knox Lane, with Cross Country Locums (the parent operating unit that includes Mint) repositioned as part of All Star Healthcare Solutions, signaling further private equity-driven consolidation within the healthcare staffing sector. The brand continues to operate as a distinct label within the consolidated platform, serving healthcare facilities nationwide with both provider placement and technology-enabled workforce management offerings.
