Employee Benefits
Mile Bluff Medical Center’s benefits package offers employees numerous resources to help them reach financial and professional goals. Benefit eligibility is open to both full-time (1950-2080 hours worked per year) and part-time (1200 hours worked per year) employees. As an employee, your benefits may include, but are not limited to:
Group Health Insurance
Coverage is currently provided by QuartzHealth. Employees can elect to have a family, single plus one, or single-coverage plan. Mile Bluff Medical Center contributes to the cost of the health insurance premium, based on the chosen plan and the years that an employee has participated in the plan. Coverage is offered to benefit-eligible employees.*
Group Dental Insurance
Dental insurance is offered to benefit-eligible employees through Delta Dental. During the calendar year, the maximum benefit is $1,600. Mile Bluff Medical Center contributes to the cost of the premium based on the plan chosen and the years an employee has participated in the plan.
401(k)
All employees who have completed one year of service and who have at least 1,000 worked hours in a year, are eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan. Mile Bluff Medical Center will match 100 percent of an employee's contribution, up to five percent of his/her compensation. Immediately, all contributions are 100-percent invested.
Employees have the benefit of discussing the 401(k) program with a financial advisor, free of charge. The advisor travels to Mile Bluff monthly, and is also available by phone.

A group term life insurance policy is available and 100-percent paid for by Mile Bluff for benefit-eligible employees. Individual amounts of coverage are based on employee classifications.
