Applying for a BIDMC Job

We only accept online job applications. You’ll find full-time, part-time and per diem opportunities at BIDMC and at other Beth Israel Lahey Health locations by using our online job search tool. Through this tool, you can build and update your online profile, search for open jobs, apply to jobs and check the status of your application.

We recommend you upload your resume as a Microsoft Word (.doc) or PDF (.pdf) file instead of using the cut-and-paste option. Uploading your resume file will ensure it is properly formatted.

There are also job opportunities available to explore for physicians with Harvard Medical Faculty Physicians (HMFP).

Application Status

After you apply online, you’ll receive an email confirming your application has been received. You can log into the BIDMC job search tool and click on “Job Submission Status” to check the status of your application. Unfortunately, we cannot personally contact every applicant regarding their application status. 

The application review process takes time. If your application meets the qualifications of the position for which you’ve applied, we will forward it to that position’s hiring manager.

Why do you ask questions about my ability to work for a federal contractor?
Background

BIDMC is a Federal Contractor and, as such, is committed to ensuring our compliance with the Office of Inspector General (OIG) and the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) in their effort to identify and eliminate fraud, waste and abuse in the workplace; and to promote efficiency in its operations.

The OIG and GSA have been given the authority to exclude individuals or entities who have engaged in fraud or abuse from participation in Medicare, Medicaid, other Federal health care programs and other Federal government programs; and to impose civil monetary penalties (CMPs) on the individual and employers for certain misconduct related to Federal health care programs and other Federal government programs.

Statement of Intent

It is the policy of BIDMC to not employ nor contract with individuals or entities that are excluded or otherwise ineligible from participation in Federal health care and other government programs.

Furthermore, BIDMC requires all employees/entities to report their exclusion status to the Chief Compliance and Privacy Officer within five business days of its occurrence.

BIDMC’s exclusion checking requirements are designed to ensure that BIDMC employs/contracts with individuals/entities that are trustworthy, law abiding, and committed to upholding the medical center’s compliance standards.

Examples of Items/Services

Here are examples of some types of items/services that are reimbursed by federal health care programs, which, when provided by excluded individuals/entities, violate the OIG and GSA exclusion and which may subject the medical center to possible fines.

  • Services performed by excluded nurses, doctors, pharmacists, technicians, secretaries, social workers, janitors, chefs, phlebotomists or other excluded individuals who work for health care organizations, where such services are reimbursed directly or indirectly by a federal health care program, even if the individuals do not furnish direct care to federal health care program beneficiaries;
  • Items or services provided to a program beneficiary by an excluded individual who works for an entity that has a contractual agreement with, and is paid by, a federal health care program; and
  • Services performed by an excluded administrator, billing agent, accountant, coder, auditor, claims processor or utilization reviewer that are related to and reimbursed, directly or indirectly, by a federal health care program.
