HCAhrAnswers – HCA Employee Portal
HCAhrAnswers labeled the HCA Identity Federation Portal as an online resource portal for HCA Healthcare employees.
This portal lets users easily update their contact information, request paycheck advances, and track attendance records. Additionally, HCAHrAnswers helps users stay up-to-date with all the latest news and information from the company.
This is the easiest way to utilize HCAhrAnswers services. Visit the HCAhrAnswers login page from any PC or tablet.
- If you use a dedicated PC at work and you’re logged into the HCA network, the HCAhrAnswers Portal will use single sign-on (SSO) to log you on automatically.
- If you’re accessing HCAhrAnswers from an off-site PC or tablet, just provide your 3-4 ID and network password when prompted on the “Federation Identity” screen. You don’t have to be on HCA’s network.
- If you don’t know your 3-4 ID, ask your manager. If you don’t know your password, contact IT&S Customer Support
