Retirement benefits

The 401(k) Plan

The 401(k) Plan combines contributions from your employer with your contributions to help you save for the future. Your facility provides a 100% annual match on your contribution (from 3% to 9% of pay). That means for every $1 you contribute, your facility contributes $1 (up to your matching level).

To receive the annual match, you must be employed by an HCA Healthcare facility on Dec. 31 and receive pay for at least 1,000 hours of service during the plan year.

You can contribute from 1% to 50% of your before-tax pay through payroll deductions, up to the IRS maximum. You can choose how to invest the money in your account. Consider your risk tolerance. Decide how involved you want to be in managing your account.

Vesting refers to when you own the rights to the money in your account. You are always 100% vested in your contributions to the Plan. You vest 20% in matching contributions after two years of service. Then, you vest an additional 20% for every subsequent year of service. You are 100% vested in matching contributions after six years.

Automatic 401(k) Plan enrollment

You will be automatically enrolled in the 401(k) Plan. This enrollment will occur on the first day following two months of service if you are a newly eligible colleague. Your contribution amount will begin at 3% of pay, and your facility will match 100% of your automatic contribution.

Your account balance will be invested in the Pre-Mixed 25-To-Go Fund. Each January, your contribution rate will automatically increase by 1%, unless you opt out of this feature. It’s a great way to increase your savings gradually, which can have a big impact on your retirement income.

Life and disability Benefits

Employee life insurance benefits

• Basic Term Life – This coverage is for full-time colleagues at 1x your base pay. It is provided by your facility at no cost to you.
• Supplemental Term Life – Allows full-time and part-time colleagues to choose an additional amount of coverage. You can select up to an amount equal to 8x your base pay. The price you pay for this coverage depends on your age and salary.

Dependent life insurance benefits

• If you enroll in employee life insurance, you also select dependent life insurance for an eligible spouse or partner. You can also choose it for children.

Short-term disability benefits

Short-term disability benefits replace a percentage of your base pay if you are away from work. This applies if you are away for more than seven calendar days because of a personal, non-work-related illness or injury. Coverage varies by location and not apply to certain employed physicians.

Long-term disability (LTD) benefits

LTD coverage provides income protection if you become disabled and are unable to work for an extended period. LTD pays monthly benefits. The benefits are at 50% or 60% of base pay. This depends on your election.

Payments start after you have been disabled for five months. You are automatically enrolled in the plan at the 60% coverage level. You have the option to opt out. Alternatively, you can choose to drop to the lower coverage level.
