Health Care Plans*

We know that everyone has different needs and that’s why Florida Hospital offers two comprehensive health care plans that provide coverage for hospitalization, pharmacy and other medical services. Both plans are offered to eligible full-time and part-time employees. Coverage is also available for dependents at an additional cost.

Dental Insurance*

To ease the financial burden of dental expenses, employees and dependents are eligible for two dental insurance plans — a managed care plan and an indemnity plan. Both plans are provided by Delta Dental with differing monthly premiums and benefits. Employees can also enjoy a dental reimbursement plan after two years of service.

Vision Plan*

Eligible full-time and part-time employees may purchase a coverage plan that provides reimbursement for vision care expenses, for themselves and eligible dependents. The plan allows you to pick a provider of choice, does not require pre-authorization, has no waiting period or exclusions and provides reimbursement according to billed charges.

Cancer and Other Disease Insurance*

The Cancer and Other Disease insurance helps offset the severe financial hardship caused by intensive and ongoing medical treatment. This is a supplemental insurance plan that offers coverage for the employee and family in the event of cancer or other specified diseases. Benefits are paid directly to the covered person.

Life Insurance*

Florida Hospital provides all full-time employees with Basic Group Life and Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) insurance in the amount of the employee’s base annual salary. Eligible part-time employees may also purchase coverage at a minimal monthly cost. Dependent and additional life insurance is also available for purchase.

Flexible Spending Accounts*

There are three different types of Flexible Spending Accounts — medical, dependent care (day care) and adoption. These accounts are not interchangeable. Federal law allows the employee to deposit a portion of gross income into a spending account on a pre-tax basis. This means that you will save 25-40% on federal, state and FICA (Social Security) taxes on the money that is set aside. Due to Federal Law, however, any monies that you set aside must be used in the same plan year or you will forfeit those dollars.

Short- and Long-Term Disability*

Disability coverage protects the employee’s ability to earn an income in the event of injury or illness. Short-term disability insurance provides an income while you are disabled and unable to perform your job. It can also bridge the gap until you are eligible for Social Security disability or group long-term disability benefits. Long-term disability insurance provides monthly financial protection should a disability continue beyond the short-term disability coverage.

Part-Time Benefits

All employees who work at least 16 hours per week may elect to take advantage of several health and wellness benefits, including: health care, dental, life, vision, short-term disability and cancer insurance, as well as flexible spending accounts and PDO.

Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

Florida Hospital provides the EAP benefit at no cost to eligible employees, their spouses and eligible dependents. Services include face-to-face counseling for marital and family relationships, stress management, alcohol and drug issues, work-related concerns, depression and anxiety. A 24/7 toll-free hotline accesses EAP counselors for a free evaluation, telephonic support and a referral for up to six face-to-face counseling sessions from mental health providers. Legal and financial consultations and referrals are also available through this program.

Paid Days Off (PDO)

PDO are funded by money that is accrued while employees work their regular hours. For example, a new employee accrues 8% of gross earnings up to 40 hours a week. PDO begins accruing on the first day of work, with days eligible for use during the pay period following 91 days of employment. (For certain job classes, PDO are available immediately after they have accrued.) This accrual is used to pay for vacation, holidays, sick or bereavement time. An employee simply schedules time off with the supervisor and uses it as desired.

Bereavement Assistance

We provide a six-week Grief Recovery seminar designed to provide comfort and support for those going through the pain of loss. Grief Recovery can help you face your feelings and work through them. The program's informal meetings provide information and answers to your questions, as well as support, comfort and guidance.
