Learn more about Sharp’s FSA program and all of your SharpChoice benefits options on SharpNet click here.
As a Sharp employee, you have access to several childcare benefits.
Care.com
Life happens. School closures. Sick nannies. Aging parents who need help. Pets who could use some mid-day love. Now you have the help! Enroll today to access your family care benefits:
Disaster Child Benefit Plan
The Sharp Disaster Child Care Benefit Plan is a temporary program to assist you with unexpected childcare costs in response to daycare and school closures as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. This plan reimburses you up to $1,800 of eligible child care and tutoring service expenses through December 31, 2020. Click here to learn more.
Dependent Care FSA (DCFSA)
Allows you to set aside pre-tax money from every paycheck to help pay for dependent care expenses such as:
The purpose of this training is to provide awareness of
common workplace hazards and how to report and
mitigate those hazards.
Safe patient handling or mobilization is the replacement of manual lifting and transferring of patients with powered transfer devices, lifting devices, and lift teams (as appropriate) based on patient and RN assessment.
Patient mobilization includes:
Slips, trips, and falls are an everyday risk at hospitals and comprise one of the top accident categories. The operations that exist within the health care landscape present unique and significant challenges and risk to employees in the industry.
Transmission of bloodborne pathogens (e.g., HIV, Hepatitis B) from patients to healthcare workers is an important occupational hazard faced by healthcare staff and can occur when employees are exposed to blood/body fluid by needlestick or splashes. As part of establishing a safe environment for employees and patients, Sharp HealthCare has minimized the risk for work-related exposure to blood borne pathogens by implementing infection control practices and by providing guidelines for the prevention of blood/body fluid exposures, sharps injuries and splash exposures. This includes the safe handling of sharps and use of personal protective equipment (PPE).
Ergonomics is the science of fitting the job to the employee. The goal of the Sharp Ergonomics Program is to reduce work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), also known as repetitive motion disorders.
MSDs develop when a major part of an employee’s work task involves repetitive motion, reaching, waist bending, mobilizing patients or lifting heavy objects.
The Sharp Ergonomics Program recognizes that posture, safe patient mobilizations, body mechanics and work activities play an important role in identifying risk factors associated with on-the-job injuries.
Sharp Health Plan offers you health benefits through a managed care program, or Health Maintenance Organization (HMO), which helps protect you and your family from high medical costs and the financial burden that could accompany a serious illness or injury.
You may choose coverage between two Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) options provided through Sharp Health Plan: Basic HMO or Premium HMO option.
Refer to your 2021 Benefit Guide for more information.

Good dental care is an important part of your overall good health. One of the most important things you can do is to receive regular dental treatment. SharpChoice offers you and your family two dental plan options that help pay for a broad range of dental services.
The differences between the two options are the yearly benefit maximum and orthodontia coverage.
Refer to your 2021 Benefit Guide for more information.
When you enroll for medical coverage, you are also automatically enrolled for comprehensive vision benefits through Vision Service Plan (VSP). VSP offers low copayments with no claim forms when you use providers from the VSP Signature Network. You also have the option to use non-network providers but you must file a claim for benefits within six months after completion of services.

A broad range of issues and concerns are dealt with including but not limited to:
Refer to your 2021 Benefit Guide for more information.
Sharp HealthCare is pleased to provide you with the opportunity to participate in two Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs):
These accounts do not provide you with any additional medical, dental or vision coverage, they simply provide you with a means of paying for certain health and dependent day care expenses with pre-tax dollars. The advantage of paying expenses on a pre-tax basis is that you will have more spendable income and you pay less in taxes, so you save money.
Refer to your 2021 Benefit Guide for more information.
Although we do not like to think about it, should death occur, the survivors left behind could face serious financial hardship. You or your family might need an alternative source of income to pay off bills and meet ongoing financial requirements. Should you or a member of your family die – your legal spouse/certified domestic partner or child, for example – the loss can cause unexpected expenses. This is the purpose of life insurance, to provide funds for those left behind.
Basic Life and AD&D Insurance
Basic Life and AD&D Insurance is provided at no cost. You may also elect Supplemental Life and Supplemental Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) insurance. Refer to your 2021 Benefit Guide for information on your Basic Life and AD&D Insurance options.
Optional Life and AD&D Insurance
Optional Life and AD&D insurance is available for you to purchase. You may also purchase optional life insurance for your spouse and eligible dependents if you purchase supplemental life insurance on yourself.
During this enrollment period only, you can enroll without answering medical questions!

Many employees have had a family member, friend or acquaintance impacted by the physical, emotional and financial effects of a critical illness such as a colleague diagnosed with cancer, a parent who has suffered a stroke, or a loved one who had a heart attack. Living with a critical illness may affect your financial security and that of your family. Despite having good medical insurance, there are still expenses associated with a critical illness that many medical plans do not cover such as medical copays and deductibles, out-of-net-work treatments, prescription drug co-pays, childcare bills, mortgage and rent payments, car payments, utility payments and other household bills. Critical illness Insurance can help give you the peace of mind needed to concentrate on recovery instead of finances.
Eligibility
Eligible dependents include:
