OB Medevac and TDY Housing: What You Might Be Missing

If you’re returning Stateside on OB Medevac, you’re likely navigating one of the most personal and stressful transitions of your life—all while balancing government regulations, healthcare timelines, and family logistics. You already know how TDY works, but many OB Medevac families don’t realize just how much flexibility and comfort their TDY allowance can offer during this critical time. Check out our insights below!

It’s common to assume a hotel is the only option for TDY lodging, but that’s far from the case—especially when you’re preparing to welcome a newborn!

Your housing allowance can cover compliant, short-term rental homes that offer the privacy, peace, and space you need to recover. With TDY Rentals, you’re not confined to a one-size-fits-all hotel room—we help you secure temporary housing that meets your unique needs as new and expectant parents.

Explore how this works through our New Parent Program.

Under our program, a portion of your lodging per diem is allocated toward brand-new furnishings personally selected by you. This can range from any of the following:

• A comfortable, supportive bed
• A glider or rocking chair
• A crib, bassinet, or changing table
• A functional work-from-home setup if you’re still clocking in
• Blackout curtains and bottle sterilizers
• Anything else you truly need for those first few weeks with baby!

We’ve even furnished families with home gym equipment, Japanese futons, and specialized nursing gear. If you need it, we’ll make it happen!

Reimbursement delays often stem from non-compliant documentation—missing details, itemized charges, or unsupported expenses. Many travelers unknowingly submit receipts that lead to their entire claim being denied.

TDY Rentals takes the guesswork out of the process. We ensure every document is accurate, properly formatted, and fully compliant with agency policy—so you get reimbursed without delays or lost benefits.

You’re not just relocating—you’re preparing to welcome a new life into the world. You deserve comfort, support, and peace of mind—not a battle over what your allowance already covers. With TDY Rentals, you get more than just housing—you get a partner who understands your needs and takes the stress off your plate:

• Compliant, family-friendly housing options not just in and around Washington, D.C. but the entire United States!
• Personalized furnishings for the unique demands of OB Medevac stays.
• Expert support in calculating your per diem allowance and submitting accurate documentation.
• A team of Eligible Family Members (EFMs) that intimately know the process and advocates for you every step of the way.

We’ve helped dozens of OB Medevac families navigate this exact process. Whether you need fast, compliant housing or clarity on what your TDY allowance covers, we’re here to support you. Focus on the arrival—we’ll handle the logistics.
