Cross Country Locums

What Cross Country Locums does

Cross Country Locums is a healthcare staffing division of Cross Country Healthcare (NYSE: CCRN), specializing in locum tenens — the placement of temporary physicians, advanced practitioners, and dental providers at U.S. healthcare facilities. Headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida, and founded in 1987, the division addresses clinician staffing gaps at hospitals, clinics, and other care settings through a dedicated recruiter network and a sales-led go-to-market motion. The division is one segment within the publicly traded parent company alongside other staffing verticals.

The division operates a technology-enabled staffing stack comprising the Xperience Travel Portal for clinician travel logistics, a Vendor Neutral VMS for contingent workforce management, Beyond VMS as a broader workforce management offering, and Insights and Analytics tools for operational visibility. Together, these platforms support clinician sourcing, credentialing workflows, travel coordination, and facility-side vendor management. No proprietary AI/ML capabilities are publicly disclosed; the technology footprint is consistent with standard healthcare staffing infrastructure.

Cross Country Locums generates revenue through placement fees and billable rates on temporary clinician assignments, monetizing the spread between clinician pay rates and client bill rates. The division pursues inorganic growth where attractive, acquiring Mint Physician Staffing and Lotus Medical Staffing in October 2022 to expand clinician supply and specialty coverage. As a segment within a public parent, the division benefits from capital access, brand equity, and cross-segment client relationships, while remaining subject to consolidated reporting and segment-level financial disclosure limitations.
