Medical/Dental/Optical Benefits - You will receive information regarding your medical/dental/optical benefits and other related benefits via email from your program coordinator.

At orientation, a representative from the Human Resources Department will present the different options in greater detail and will be available to answer any questions.

If you are adding dependents (spouse and/or children) onto your health/vision/dental benefits, you must provide a copy of your 2009 1040 tax form. If you were married in 2010, you must provide a copy of your marriage certificate. If you had a baby in 2010, you must provide the birth certificate. If neither yourself or your spouse have ever paid taxes, you must provide a marriage certificate (if applicable) and birth certificates of your children and you will be required to sign an affidavit agreeing to supply a copy of your 2009 1040 tax form.

Additional Benefits and Discounts:
Food Stipend –You will receive a $2400.00 food stipend which will be included in your paycheck and divided among 26 pay periods. To avoid having to carry cash, you may purchase food by scanning your ID badge and the amount will be automatically deducted from your paycheck. Or, you may choose to pre-pay.

If you are interested in joining, you must complete the attached form and return to Medical Education by April 9, 2010. In addition, you must go to the Athletic Club anytime after Thursday, July 1, to sign up. You will be asked to pay for your first month at this time.

This allowance is to be used for payment of medical licensure, books, loops, subscriptions, professional dues (including but not limited to AOA, AAFP, AMA, ACOS), educational meetings and conferences.
