Medical Coverage, for you and your family

At Novant Health, health care is our business. We recognize that our team members have many different needs when it comes to healthcare. We are committed to providing you with exceptional medical coverage through a variety of plans, tailored to your individual needs.

At Novant Health, we offer a choice of three medical plans, the Cigna Premium and Standard plans or the Bind medical plan. All three plans include prescription drug coverage through MedImpact and have out-of-pocket maximums that place a cap on what you pay for covered services in a plan year.

The Cigna Premium and Standard Plans require higher team member contributions per paycheck and have deductibles, copays and coinsurance. Premium Plan participants in certain coverage tiers receive an initial employer-funded health reimbursement account (HRA)* deposit; however, both plans include the opportunity to earn money in a HRA through the well-being program. (See attached 2022 Medical Plan Rates and Benefit Chart for more details).

Bind is a health plan that removes barriers such as deductibles and coinsurance, while making costs more transparent. The Bind plan allows coverage for less common, plannable treatment to be activated if and when you need coverage. This helps keep your cost down, while providing the flexibility to activate coverage at any time during the year, when and if you need it. The Bind plan has the lowest team member contribution per paycheck.

Provider: Cigna and UHC (Medical TPAs) and MedImpact (Pharmacy TPA)

Incentives can be earned throughout the year for a personalized health assessment, having healthy biometric values, completing annual well-being screenings and participating in living healthy webinars or events.

Short-Term Disability

Team members who are scheduled to work at least 24 hours per week as a 0.6 FTE are enrolled in Short-Term Disability benefits. Team members have often requested this income protection in case of a non-work-related condition, illness or injury. Benefits are paid at 60% of earnings up to a maximum of $2,500 per week. Benefit deductions are taken on an after-tax basis, so you are not obligated to pay taxes on any Short-Term Disability benefits you receive. You have two options to choose from during enrollment.

Retirement Packages

We help you plan for your long-term future with multiple retirement plan options. Earn today, save for tomorrow.

403(b) Plan

Novant Health contributes to team members’ retirement through a dollar for dollar match of the first 6% contributed to the Plan.

Benefits- eligible team members whose FTE status is at least 0.6 and are paid at least 48 hours per pay period begin earning PTO as of their date of hire and may begin to use PTO after they have satisfactorily completed their introductory period of employment.

The annual Paid Time Off allowance will accrue on a per pay period basis on hours paid, up to a maximum of 80 hours paid per pay period, and years of service.

Paid Leaves of Absence

Novant Health provides benefits-eligible team members who have been employed for 12 months and have worked 1,250 hours during the prior 12 months with the following paid leaves of absence:

Parental Leave – To assist and support new parents with balancing work and family matters, eligible team members are provided with four weeks of paid parental leave at 100% of base pay to allow for the care and well-being of their newborn or adopted child.

Caregiver Leave – Eligible team members may take one week of paid leave at 100% of base pay to care for a parent, spouse or child under age 18 experiencing a serious health condition as defined by the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA).

Military Leave Supplemental Pay - Novant Health is very proud of team members who make personal and professional sacrifices to serve in the US Armed Forces or state National Guard. These special team members may be activated to support national and international US military operations, and when the military pay is less than the base hourly rate of pay they were receiving from Novant Health, it can be a hardship on the team member and family. Therefore, Novant Health provides supplemental pay equal to the difference between the military compensation (excluding payments for room and board) for military duty and the team member’s base hourly rate of pay. Military pay supplements will be reviewed at one-year increments counting from the date of commencement of active duty.
