Upon completion of the locum tenens coverage, the resident/faculty provider submits an invoice to the rural physician or hospital that includes all charges and information as to whom the check should be made payable. The rural physician or hospital sends the remittance for the coverage to Rural Health Education and Services - Kansas City office. If the remittance is for coverage provided by a resident, the check is forwarded to the resident. If a faculty member provided the coverage, the remittance is forwarded to that faculty member's departmental Foundation. The departmental Foundation reimburses the faculty member for providing the coverage.
