Q1: If I accept a job with Tailored Healthcare Staffing will I be a government employee?

A1: No, if you accept a job with Tailored Healthcare Staffing, you will be hired as an employee of Tailored Healthcare Staffing while working at a government healthcare facility. We will be your employer and will pay you, offer you benefits, etc. You will not be an employee of the government.

A2: Government contracts can run anywhere from one month all the way up to five years. Most government contracts have a twelve month “base year” as well as four “option years”, for a total length of five years. As a contract employee, you will always have the option of leaving a contract before it has ended, provided that you give the appropriate amount of notice.

A3: No, under government contracts, your malpractice insurance will always be covered by either the Federal Government or by Tailored Healthcare Staffing.

A4: Yes, under most government contracts you may work with any state license, regardless of where the healthcare facility is located.

A5: That depends. Typically we contract physicians as independent contractors and every other type of healthcare worker as employees. This can be explored on a case-by-case basis.

A6: The government credentialing and hiring process can be lengthy and paperwork intensive. Depending on your specialty, this process can be as short as a week or can last more than a month. However, our experienced credentialing department is always available to answer questions and guide you through this process to ensure that you are able to begin work as soon as possible.

A7: Depending on the type of contract (short term vs. long term), Tailored HEalthcare Staffing may be able to assist you with your relocation costs or the cost of renting an apartment, renting a car, or flight.
