INTRODUCTION
At Southwest Care Center (SCC), we are committed to providing our team members with a comprehensive benefits package that supports your and your family’s physical, financial, and emotional well-being, all at a cost you can afford.
This online guide is a brief overview of SCC's benefits and related policies. For complete plan and policy details, including detailed eligibility requirements, see the Benefit Plan Documents Folder in the quick links section of the SCC SharePoint main page.
Enrollment must occur within 30 days of hire or within the stated open enrollment period for yearly benefit renewal. Failure to enroll will result in the team member not having coverage until the next open enrollment or qualifying event.
ELIGIBILITY & EFFECTIVE DATES
Employees scheduled 20 or more hours per week are eligible to enroll in Medical, Dental, Vision, FSA, and other voluntary benefits. In addition, all SCC team members who are not classified as temporary or interns can participate in the 401(k) Retirement Plan after six months of service.
The effective date for elected benefits is the first day of the month following your hire date for newly employed team members. Current team members re-enrolling during open enrollment will have an effective date of January 1 of the new year. If your eligibility for benefits changes during the year due to a shift in full-time status or another qualifying event, the change will take effect on the first day of the month following that event.
HOW TO ENROLL OR RE-ENROLL
Both enrollment and re-enrollment is completed in just a few simple clicks within your Workday Self-Service Portal Inbox. Important tips for ensuring a successful submission:
-

ISSUANCE OF BENEFIT CARDS
Enrollments are processed within 12 days of submission. Please allow 2.5 weeks to receive confirmation and benefit member cards in the mail. Important: Not all carriers provide physical cards. See below for carrier specific details:
-
Presbyterian is the only carrier sending out a member card by mail. You may also download a copy from the member portal, but you must first be active in their system.
-
If you elected a High Deductible Health Plan with an HSA, you will receive your debit card from Health Equity in the mail. Those that elected an FSA and/or Limited FSA will also receive a debit card for these accounts. These cards can take up to 3 weeks to be received. These cards come in a nondescript envelope for your protection. So, keep an eye out for it!
-
Beam Dental and VSP Vision carriers do not send cards. You only need to provide the provider your name and social security number at time of scheduling or time of service.
