Picking a medical plan

What is an EPO?With an EPO plan, you will pay a co-pay for routine services. The co-pay varies depending on the type of care needed. Your co-pays do not count toward your deductible, but they do count toward your out-of-pocket maximum. Non-routine services are subject to a deductible and coinsurance.

What is an HRA?The health reimbursement account (HRA) options are funded by Cook Children’s. This means that Cook Children’s pays the first portion of your eligible medical expenses. The money used from your HRA fund counts toward your deductible. There are no co-pays on these plans and you only pay for claims out of your pocket after the money in your fund is exhausted. If there is a balance in your fund at the end of the year, it rolls over to the following year (subject to a maximum cap).

Unused amounts can rollover into future years• $2,000 max for employee only. • $4,000 max for family.

Pro-rated during the first year (based on effective date).HRA fund

$1,000 for employee only in a full plan year.

$2,000 for family coverage in a full plan year.

Retirement plans – Fidelity

* Pre-tax deferrals allow you to reduce your taxable income for the current calendar year. However, when you take the money out of your retirement plan, you will pay taxes at that time. The taxes will be due on the contributions and investment earnings at the time of withdrawal.

* Roth deferrals allow you to pay taxes on your contributions today. That means when you take the money out of your retirement plan, they will be tax-free if you meet two qualifications: 1) Your first Roth deferral was made more than five years prior to the withdrawal date AND 2) You are over the age of 59-1/2 at the time of the withdrawal. If you don’t meet both qualifications, you will only owe taxes on the investment earnings.

*

403(b) plan

401(a) plan

All employees are eligible to participate in the 403(b) retirement plan. Your deferral options include pre-tax*, Roth** (after-tax) or a combination of both. You can save up to the IRS deferral limit ($18,000 for 2015). Additionally, participants who are at least 50 years old can save an additional $6,000 for 2015.

All contributions made into the 403(b) plan are always 100 percent vested by the participant. This means that everything you put into the plan is yours, no matter what. If you leave Cook Children’s, you can rollover the balance into another savings plan or request distribution of the entire balance of your 403(b) account.

You will automatically be enrolled in the 403(b) plan at 4 percent (pre-tax) approximately 30 days following your hire date, unless you make a different election. You can change your deferral rate at any time during the year.

Cook Children’s also provides a 401(a) matching account to all employees who participate in the 403(b) plan. Full- and half-time employees contributing to the 403(b) will receive an employer-matching contribution into their 401(a) account each pay period.

You become 100 percent vested in the employer-matching account on your third anniversary with Cook Children’s.

Part-time, PRN and pool employees may receive an employer-matching contribution in January for the prior calendar year if:

1) You worked more than 1,000 hours during the prior calendar year AND 2) You were employed on December 31 of the prior year.

Years of service Cook Children’s will match:

Retirement plans – Fidelity – continued

457(b) retirement plan

Our 457(b) plan is a non-qualified retirement plan for physicians that allows you to save an additional $18,000 pre-tax each calendar year. A non-qualified plan is a deferred compensation plan. There are more than 270 investment options, covering all areas of the investment risk spectrum, available through Fidelity for this plan.

Because this is a deferred compensation plan, it’s important to understand the following before participating in this plan:

1) Risk: There is a risk associated with this type of plan. The 457(b) assets are among the Cook Children’s assets that are eligible for payment of legal and/or bankruptcy settlements. 2) Taxation: A lump sum payment will be made to you based on your payment election (90 days from separation of service or 12 months from separation of service). Taxation on this income will occur in the tax year you receive your payout.
