MedStaff is committed to offering quality comprehensive benefits that remain affordable for our traveling employees. We offer a low cost Hawaii HMO- Group Medical Plan or a higher hourly pay rate. Health insurance coverage begins the first day of the month after your date of hire.
The following is a brief overview of the plan. Remember, as a traveling employee you pay no taxes on your contributions for medical coverage, which effectively reduces your benefit expense.

- Preventative care benefits
- Low prescription drug co-pays
- Vision coverage
- 100% Wellness care benefits
