Travel Nurse Benefits
Talented Travelers Deserve Great Benefits
Traveling is exciting – but it shouldn’t have to mean sacrificing important benefits. MAS offers straightforward benefits befitting top healthcare professionals. If you are about to start a travel nursing career, you’ll be happy to know that you are eligible for a housing stipend, a health insurance plan, and many other benefits through your staffing agency.
We offer:
Travelers should be rewarded for their time, and we strive to find positions that pay as much as 50 percent higher than comparable permanent roles. MAS puts your needs first, designing budgets that include things like tax-free stipends, travel reimbursements, continuing education, medical documentation and state licensure. We also provide you with the best health insurance for travel nurses so you can always be covered.
Your recruiter will walk you through your final offered compensation plan so you understand your eligibility, and you will always know exactly what to expect.
MAS is pleased to offer Benefitelect to all travelers who work a minimum of 32 hours per week. Health insurance for travel nurses can also be extended to a spouse or immediate family for an additional cost.
When starting your travel nursing career, we want to help make the transition easier by offering a generous housing stipend. Tax-free travel nursing housing stipends are incredibly important, but MAS Medical Staffing goes one step further, helping you maximize your subsidies. Stipends are included in weekly paychecks, allowing you to control your own living arrangements while on your nursing assignment. Talk to both your recruiter and a tax specialist who understand the rules of these federal stipends to ensure you follow all IRS eligibility guidelines.
Based upon federal guidelines, travelers may also qualify for a per diem stipend to cover food and daily expenses while on assignment with MAS. To qualify for this stipend, you must maintain a primary residence more than a commutable distance away from your secondary or temporary residence.
All employees will be paid time-and-one-half time their normal hourly rates. Observed holidays differ from facility to facility, so please check with your recruiter to determine whether you are eligible for time-and-one-half on specific days.
We value the recommendations of our talented professionals and reward travel employees who refer healthcare professionals to MAS. Earn up to $500 per referral (dependent on division and job worked)

Each assignment outlines a clear start and end date, with a guaranteed number of hours that are to be honored by both the traveler and the facility. Time off can be pre-approved before an assignment and must be noted in the contract. It can be added at any time if both the traveler and the facility agree. We do not penalize travelers if they experience unforeseen emergencies. We understand that sometimes, life happens. In between assignments, travelers are free to take off as much time as they want or need, without penalty.
We offer $2/$4 million professional liability insurance, exceeding the industry standard. This insurance protects your licensure and your right to practice in the field.
MAS is pleased to announce enhancements to the benefits package through payroll deduction options. MAS now offers multiple Allstate options for Universal Life Insurance, Accident Disability, Short Term Disability, Dental/Vision, and Critical Illness. You own the coverage and can take it with you if you leave MAS with no increase in cost.
