Hi Amy and all,
My understanding is that Stanford Medicine / Hospital covers employee health services and occupational health/ workers comp care for MDs (like me) who are Medical School faculty and have hospital privileges. I’ll ask if there is a separate
financial contract in place here for those services. Bryan, do you know?
Happy New Year 2023, friends!! I hope you’re all well.

In our setting, these services are covered under Medical Center policies, and costs are covered by the Medical Center.
Conversely, in our system, the Medical Center and University use different WC TPAs/carriers, so expenses outside employee health services are handled quite differently for the
2 groups.
Hope that's helpful and Happy New Year to MCOH! Amy

Quick poll – apologies if previously addressed. I had no need to pay attention to this issue until recently.
For those of you working in University or Hospital employee health services in settings where the University and the medical center are separate corporate entities, who pays for the
employee health services needed by University-employed faculty caring for patients in the medical center? E.g. these:
- preplacement screening
- TB screening
- immunization verification and provision if needed
- respirator clearance, fit testing and training
- blood borne pathogen exposure evaluation, treatment if needed
- annual flu vaccine provision, tracking, enforcement (required)
- COVID vaccine (required)
- FFD coordination (sort of) and referral to EAP
- COVID testing and response, assistance with isolation and quarantine
Thank you!
