Our Rehab Department also holds the contracts in surrounding school districts for athletic training. OUR IMAGING SERVICES We recently added Dynamic Digital Radiography, which is an upgraded x-ray machine that provides low dose radiation (lower than fluoroscopy) to view anatomical motion. This machine also allows us to stitch images so that long bones can be viewed with improved quality. Our MRI boasts an increased opening (71 cm) and sensory comforts (headphones and lighting) for comforting those with claustrophobia . The software upgrade improved our image quality and speed to equate to a 3T magnet MRI. We are also currently undergoing a fluoroscopy renovation which will conclude in August. We currently have three x-ray rooms (including fluoroscopy), three ultrasound rooms, one MRI, one CT, one bone density, 1 EMG, and one mammography room. INSURANCE Medical Insurance Coverage We offer Blue Cross Blue Shield Health Saving Account insurance. HSAs have many advantages, including the fact premiums are much less expensive than other plans, such as PPOs. Because deductibles are typically higher with HSAs, members tend to be more careful when choosing healthcare options. For example, an employee might opt for a visit to Colona Clinic rather than the emergency room because s/he knows there will be a larger upfront expenditure. With an HSA, you may also open an account at Central Bank and divert pre-tax dollars into it. This way you are pre-funding your own medical expenses with pre-tax dollars. When you incur an expense, you simply use the debit card from your HSA at Central Bank to pay for it. When you do this, those dollars move from pre-tax to no tax because you are never taxed on them. In addition to receiving a tax benefit by using your HSA at Central Bank, Hammond-Henry Hospital matches the first $34.62 you divert to that account each pay day. That adds up to $900 in free money deposited into your account each year. HSA dollars do not expire and are yours the day they are deposited. No wait period, no vesting period. You can continue to use them for medical, dental, or vision expenses tax-free even after you re no longer participating in an HSA. * Dental Insurance Coverage is provided by Blue Cross Blue Shield. Orthodontia is covered at 50%, with a $1,000 cap. * Vision Insurance Coverage is provided by Guardian VSP. Eye exams are only $10 a year under our plan. * Basic Life Insurance includes receipt of $40,000 in free term life insurance and another $40,000 in free term accidental death and dismemberment insurance as a fulltime employee at Hammond-Henry Hospital * Voluntary Life Insurance includes the option to purchase additional term life insurance and term accidental death and dismemberment insurance through easy payroll deduction. Prices are based on age but are very affordable and do not increase as you age. For example, if you are 50-54 years old, your rate if $.106 per $1,000 or only $1.06 per paycheck for $10,000 of coverage. Voluntary term life insurance is also available for your spouse and children. This insurance is offered only upon initial eligibility. There is a cap of $125,000. PENSION PLAN Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund (IMRF) Pension Illinois Municipal Retirement Fundpensions are offered by very few employers these days. We have a full pension which you cannot outlive. Once you are pension-eligible, you will draw that money as long as you live. There are also spouse continuation options with the plan. You contribute 4.5% of your pre-tax wage. HHH contributes the balance needed to fund today s retirees. HHH s contribution varies with current expenses and is always more than the employee portion. There is a 10-year vestment period before you are eligible for this lifelong pension. After one year of IMRF service, it also includes disability insurance and term life insurance, both free of charge. There is a wage cap of about $125,000, meaning after you ve earned that amount, IMRF is not withheld for the rest of the calendar year. * IMRF-VAC -You may make voluntary additional contributions into your IMRF pension account. This is an after-tax savings option which pays 7.25% interest. The interest is awarded only once a year, and you essentially forfeit the first and last year of interest due to the way it is You may elect to contribute up to 10% of your after-tax wage. You may opt to take it as an annuity after you retire, which means it is added to the value of your pension for an even bigger monthly check. You must be contributing to IMRF to contribute to IMRF-VAC.
