Employment Benefits

Caritas Holy Family Hospital offers a variety of benefits to eligible employees to protect their health, their families and their way of life. Some benefits are provided at no cost to the employee and others can be purchased at discounted group rates.

Health Plans – Quality and affordable plans are available to employees scheduled to work 20+ hours per week. The hospital offers Tufts Health Plan, Blue Cross Blue Shield Network Blue of New England. You can choose either medical plan and receive coverage for a similar range of health services and supplies, including annual exams, office visits, hospitalization, emergency care and prescription drugs. The Tufts plan provides three levels of coverage depending on where you receive your services: within the Caritas network, within the Tufts network or outside the Tufts network. The BCBS plan only pays benefits for in-network care provided or referred by your primary care physician.

Dental Plan – The hospital offers Delta Dental Preferred Option USA. The plan covers 100% for preventative care, 80% for basic restorative care and 50% for major restorative. There is a $50 deductible per year for basic and major restorative care. The calendar year maximum is $1500 per person.

Retirement Savings Plan – The plan provides you with a source of retirement income to add to any benefits you may receive from Social Security, your own savings and other pension plans. Under this plan, the hospital provides an automatic contribution once a year on your behalf. You may also make additional contributions to the plan – and receive a matching contribution from the hospital.
