Welcome To A Bold Vision
In physician coverage.
Our Partners
Our Founder
Dan Bensimhon, MD, is a full-time cardiologist and heart failure specialist practicing in North Carolina. Dr. Bensimhon’s passion for physician moonlighting and its benefits for both physicians and hospitals grew from his own experience as a young fellow, leading to the creation of Moonlighting Solutions in 2007.
Our Partnerships Extend Beyond Locum Tenens
Moonlighting Solutions offers the highest quality long-term part-time physician call coverage in the industry. Unlike traditional locums, our physician moonlighters provide consistent clinical coverage, often partnering with the same accounts for years. Initially, Moonlighting Solutions primarily focused on on-site night and weekend coverage. Today, in addition to on-site physician coverage, we also specialize in various Call Relief, telehealth, and advanced imaging programs, available 365 days a year, nationwide.
Our Mission of Sustainability
Our goal is to provide long-term, part-time staffing solutions that relieve in-house physicians from being overworked, thereby creating a better environment for everyone. We connect motivated Moonlighters with opportunities that reduce call burden, prevent burnout, and enhance work-life balance.
The Solution: Everyone Wins
In a sustainable environment, administrators can better retain and recruit physicians because their in-house staff is happier and more productive. As a result, patients receive top-notch care, physicians find balance and practices gain a sustainable, game-changing alternative to temporary fixes.
