24.1 Health Plan Information
Employees of ADU receive healthcare benefits from the integrated delivery system of Florida Hospital which are subject to change from year to year. For questions regarding current healthcare benefits, reference Florida Hospital Employee Health Care Advantage and Network Directory. Limited family (one adult and one child) and family coverage are also available at an additional cost. There are two medical plans to choose from: the Health Savings Plan or the Traditional Plan.
24.2 HealthCare Plan for Employees
The employee healthcare plan provides medical coverage options for hospitalization and other major medical services at a minimal cost to full-time and eligible part-time employees. As a full-time employee, you are required to have this coverage unless you show satisfactory proof of coverage under another plan.
24.3 Dental Insurance
Dental insurance coverage is designed to help ease the financial burden of dental expenses. You may choose to cover yourself, your spouse and your dependents up to the end of the month of their 26th birthday. You can choose between Delta Dental PPO or Delta Care USA Managed Care.
24.4 Cancer and other Specified Diseases
The Cancer and Other Specified Diseases Plan is designed to pay cash benefits directly to you, in addition to any other medical plan you may have in the event that you or a covered family member is diagnosed with cancer or one of the 30 other specified diseases.
24.5 Short-Term Disability
Short-term disability coverage is offered to those who work 32 or more hours per pay period to provide monthly financial protection should you become ill or injured (non-work related) and unable to work. The benefit amount is 60% of your current weekly base income to a maximum of $5,000 per week and starts on the fiftenth day of an illness or on the first day after an accident. This benefit is provided to you at no cost; ADU pays the premium.
24.6 Long-Term Disability
Long-term disability coverage is offered to provide you with financial protection for more serious or longer term disabilities. Coverage under this plan is available to full-time employees only. Benefits begins after 180 days of disability and the amount is 60% of your monthly earnings with a maximum monthly benefit of $6,000.
24.7 Life Insurance
Basic Group Life and Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) insurance in the amount of your annual salary (plus an equal amount in the event of accidental death) is provided by your employer to all full-time employees. Eligible part-time employees may also participate for a minimal monthly cost. You may purchase additional insurance in an amount equal to one, two, three, or four times the amount of your annual salary. Dependent life insurance may also be purchased.
24.8 Vision Care
Vision Insurance is offered to eligible full-time and part-time employees and dependents through VSP.com.
24.9 Flexible Spending Accounts
If you have major out-of-pocket expenses covered by insurance, or child/elder care expenses, flexible spending accounts can help. A flexible spending account allows you to make these payments with your earned income before taxes are deducted. This saves you tax dollars. A Connect Your Care debit card is issued from which health care services are paid.
24.10 Retirement Plan
Florida Hospital maintains an excellent retirement plan for eligible full-time employees. The plan–called the Adventist Healthcare Retirement Plan (AHRP)–provides for employer cash contributions to employee accounts. Florida Hospital also matches a portion of the funds that employees voluntarily contribute to their AHRP account.
