Employee Benefits at Memorial

Caring for those who care for others.

#teamMHSflorida
Attracting and retaining great employees – like you – is one of Memorial’s top goals. We believe that offering a valuable benefits package, in addition to competitive salaries, helps us achieve that goal. Most of all, we believe that Memorial benefits should keep you and your family healthy and living the life you envisioned together.

Health

Medical Plans

Memorial offers two medical plans. Both plans are administered by Community Care Plan.

Memorial Managed Care Plan (MMCP)
This plan is similar to an HMO. You’re not required to meet an annual deductible, and specific co-pays apply when you receive healthcare services that are covered by the plan. However, MMCP does not cover services by providers who are out of its network, except in an emergency or if a service can’t be offered in-network.
Memorial Consumer Health Plan (MCHP)
This plan is similar to a PPO. It includes an annual deductible that you must meet before it pays any benefits to you. It has out-of-network benefits, which means that you can receive care from providers who are out of the plan’s network if you pay a higher deductible and co-pay.

Dental Plans

Memorial offers two dental plans. Both plans are administered by Cigna Dental.

Dental HMO
In this plan, you may only choose from in-network dentists. If you choose an out-of-network dentist, you’ll pay the full cost for his or her services.
Dental PPO
In this plan, you can choose to see either an in-network or out-of-network dentist, but you may pay more out of network.

Flexible Spending Account (FSA)

Memorial offers two types of Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) administered by P&A Group.

Healthcare FSA
Set aside pre-tax earnings every pay period, which you can use all year to pay for eligible medical, dental, or vision expenses, as well as prescriptions that aren’t covered or are only partly covered by your insurance. Memorial will automatically withhold your contribution from your paycheck so it doesn’t count as taxable income. You will receive a debit card to use to pay for qualifying purchases. You must use all of your money that you set aside into a FSA, or you lose it.
Dependent Care FSA
Just like your healthcare FSA, a dependent care FSA lets you set aside pre-tax earnings every pay period for child care and other dependent care expenses. Memorial will automatically withhold your contribution from your paycheck so it doesn’t count as taxable income. Remember, just like your healthcare FSA, you must use these funds or lose them.

Fitness

Memorial has two on-site fitness centers – at Memorial Regional Hospital and Memorial Hospital West – that are open to you and your family seven days a week. You can take advantage of group exercise programs, free babysitting services and certified fitness specialists. There is no joining fee required. Discounted membership fees are offered and can be paid through payroll deduction.

Wellness

Memorial offers a number of weekly classes and the Memorial Go-Getters group, to help you stay focused on your fitness goals. Our Employee Health office also holds wellness fairs with free blood pressure and cholesterol checks, vision screenings, BMI evaluations, and flu shots. And as our facilities are tobacco-free, we offer nicotine replacement therapy and stop-smoking programs.

Wealth

Memorial 403(b) Plan

Memorial will match up to 55 percent of 5 percent of your annual salary, based on your years of service. The match is available to employees who work more than 40 hours per pay period. You can invest your contributions into the Transamerica fund of your choice. If you’re a full – or part-time employee, you’ll automatically be enrolled after 30 days of employment at a contribution rate of 5 percent. If you’re staff relief, you can enroll at any time, but will not receive a match.

Memorial 457(b) Plan

Memorial 401(a) Plan

This is a retirement plan for full-time employees (working 72 hours or more per pay period), who accumulate a total of 1,872 hours in a calendar year, not including overtime. If you qualify for this plan, Memorial will make a contribution equivalent to 2.5 percent of your annual salary. You can invest your contributions into the fund of your choice, and you’ll be 100 percent vested after just five contributions.

Paid Leave

Memorial provides a number of paid leave hours per year, which you can use for personal needs such as vacation, holiday, and short-term illness. The more hours you work, the more hours you accrue.
