Who is responsible for providing accommodations for the traveler?
With our standard service agreement, PREMIER’s travel division will find suitable accommodations for the healthcare professional. We have contracts with housing communities in all 50 states. We ensure that the traveler accommodations are live-in ready two days before their assignment begins. We also arrange for furniture delivery and utility setup. Occasionally, a hospital client will prefer to arrange their own housing.
