Housestaff Dining Highlights

Residents participating in programs that require in-house overnight call use their I.D. badge to access hospital provided dining funds.

  • Call rotation dining allowances are determined by the GME office, from the departmental call schedule ($10 week night & $15 weekend or holiday). Funds are given for MCG hospital in-house overnight call only.
     
  • Housestaff Dining funds may be used in the Terrace Dining Room (hospital cafeteria) and the CMC McDonald’s.
     
  • Funds are available the first day of the rotation and any unused balances are purged the 15th of the following month. Funds remain valid a minimum of 2 weeks after the end of the rotation.
     
  • Funding for each month’s call rotation is a separate 'plan’ and each plan balance is reported individually. When two (or more) plans are valid, the 'first’ plan is used until it expires or reaches a $0 balance - THEN the 'next’ plan is automatically accessed.  
     
  • Personal funds (Express $) are accessed ONLY when housestaff funds are expired or depleted. Personal funds DO NOT EXPIRE.
     
  • You can manage your ExpressCard account ONLINE at www.mcg.edu/express  -- check your balance(s), view transactions, and make deposits 24/7 to your personal account from any computer with internet access.

Housestaff meal fund plans are listed online as:

"HSTF Dining Odd" (JAN,MAR,MAY,JUL,SEP,NOV) and

"HSTF Dining Even" (FEB,APR,JUN,AUG,OCT,DEC).

Please call the office if you need help setting up your online privileges.

Lost or misplaced I.D. cards should be reported immediately online at www.mcg.edu/express or to the MCG Express Office at 721-9939 to prevent misuse.

Please contact the MCG EXPRESS CARD office with any questions concerning your account or plan balance(s).
