ShiftMed wants to take care of you while you take care of patients. That’s why we provide access to affordable, quality employee benefits options to all employees!

We are also excited to announce that this year, certified Benefit Coaches from BPA are available to help you understand and enroll in all your benefits. Our partnership with BPA provides an array of benefits offerings to all employees including dental, vision, hearing, life insurance, hospital, critical illness, and accident coverage through Aflac. If you choose to waive benefits, your benefits conversation will be quick and painless!

If you choose to enroll into plans provided by Aflac on a direct bill basis, you have the flexibility to cancel your plan at anytime if you decide you no longer need the coverage. You also can enroll again at a later date should your needs change!

Aflac plans do not require you to utilize a specific network of providers either!
