Flexible Spending Account (FSA) ▼

Administered by My Health Equity

Do you want to keep more of your money? Then consider using the tax savings FSAs can give you. FSAs can help you save money because they give you a tax break on certain types of health care and work-related day care expenses. Paying with tax-free dollars keeps more money in your pocket.

How These Accounts Work
You can open:

  • a Health Care Spending Account
  • a Dependent Care Spending Account
  • both types of accounts


Here is an overview of how these accounts work:

  • You decide how much you want to deposit during the calendar year. From a minimum of $260 annually, up to the 2024 IRS maximum of $3,200 for an HCFSA or LPFSA. The DCFSA maximum annual contribution is $5,000.
  • HCFSA or LPFSA funds can be used for expenses incurred through the end of the benefit plan year, the date of separation or benefit ineligibility, whichever comes first.
  • The money you contribute is automatically deducted from your pay before Federal and Social Security taxes are taken out. This money is deposited directly into the spending account(s) you have selected.

The advantages of these accounts are:

  • Eligible expenses are tax-free
  • More disposable income, because you keep some of the money that would normally go toward your
    federal income and Social Security taxes
  • Convenience, because your deposits are made through payroll deduction

Health Savings Account (HSA) ▼

Administered by My Health Equity

HSAs require enrollment in an HSA-qualified (or high-deductible) health plan. In addition, HSAs stay with you forever and funds never expire.

  • Use tax-free money to pay for qualified medical expenses
  • No 'use-it-or-lose-it,' keep your HSA forever
  • Enjoy higher contribution limits
  • Invest your HSA tax-free, like a 401(k)

Supplemental Individual Disability ▼

We care about providing you with a comprehensive benefits package, which is why Tampa General Hospital is partnering with Unum to offer you Supplemental Individual Disability Insurance (IDI).

Long-Term Disability (LTD) Insurance provides a good foundation for income protection but may leave higher-income earners with a shortfall in the event of a disabling illness or injury. This coverage provides an additional monthly benefit, that in the event of a covered disability, protects more of your income. It may cover income such as commission, bonus and other incentive pay that may not be traditionally covered by Long Term Disability (LTD) plans.

IDI protects more of your income, helping to cover your bills and day-to-day expenses in the event of a covered disability.

Get informed and act by November 3.

  1. Watch the brief video about IDI
  2. Log in to Unum’s enrollment portal to review your options
  3. Accept or decline coverage

Team members who are actively at work will not be required to submit medical history records, have blood drawn or see a physician. You will only be required to answer a few qualifying questions.

Life Insurance ▼

Administered by Lincoln Financial Group

To design the life insurance benefit that fits your lifestyle, ask yourself how much money your family would need to live on if something happened to you, and how long they would need it. TGH provides you with life insurance at no cost to you. But what if you need more protection? And how do you decide how much is enough? Because it is important to have the right amount of protection, TGH offers additional life insurance.

How Much Life Insurance Should You Purchase?
The right amount of life insurance protection can help your loved ones avoid having to drastically alter their lifestyle to cope with financial obligations if you die prematurely. You should estimate how much your family may need for:

  • Funeral expenses
  • The mortgage
  • Car loans
  • Credit card and other debt
  • Education for your children
  • Retirement for your spouse

As a general rule of thumb, some experts say you will need six to eight times your annual gross income in life insurance, but everyone’s needs differ.

All plans include a $100 wellness benefit and a recurrence benefit.

The policy benefit amount includes:

  • Heart Attack – 100% of face value
  • Heart Transplant -100% of face value
