United Regional Benefits
Health Plan — Medical & Prescription & Dental
United Regional offers a generous benefits plan including medical, prescription drug, and dental coverage to full–time and part–time employees. Employees pay a small portion of the plan premium each pay period, and United Regional covers most of the plan premium cost. Employees and their families are encouraged to use United Regional for services and are provided the best benefit coverage here. For medical services and physician specialists not available at United Regional, employees will find very good plan coverage.
Employee Wellness
United Regional is committed to improving the health of its employees. Each year and throughout the year, employees are encouraged to participate in lab screenings, onsite fitness classes, nutrition counseling and education opportunities as well as other events and tools. Employees participating in the screenings and making efforts to improve their health are also eligible for a reduction in their health plan premiums. By partnering with SimplyWell and our own disease management & wellness staff, United Regional provides each employee the opportunity and incentive to live healthier lives.
