NATIONAL HOSPITAL & HEALTH CARE WEEK
May 7-13, 2023

National Hospital (and Health Care) Week takes place during the week of Florence Nightingale’s birthday and was established to honor the great work of hospitals, health care systems, and health care workers.

To all of our team members working on the frontlines or in support roles, thank you! We appreciate the hard work you give every day to provide compassionate, safe and quality care to the patients we are so privileged to serve.

Stay tuned for information from local or divisional leaders on a special gift as a small token of our appreciation for you in recognition of Hospital and Health Care Week.
COMING IN JUNE

We want to hear from you! Franciscan will be conducting a brief Coworker Engagement Survey from June 12-26. Your feedback from last year’s survey has been vital to helping us identify areas of success and opportunities for improvement. (Watch for more information on these!)

FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNTS
Reimbursement deadline & carryover funds

2022 Flexible Spending Account (FSA) participants have until June 30, 2023, to submit reimbursement forms and supporting documents for any eligible Health Care or Dependent Care expenses for the 2022 plan year for which they have not already received payment through their FSA. 

After June 30, 2023, Health Care FSA (general or limited-purpose) carryover balances from 2022 (up to the $610 maximum allowed) can be used for eligible 2023 Health Care FSA expenses. There is no carryover for a Dependent Care FSA.

Submit documents to our FSA provider, Optum Financial: www.OptumFinancial.com, 866-864-2417

MEDICAL PLAN
TOBACCO/NICOTINE SURCHARGE
Reminder: Sept. 30 deadline for participants without negative test on file

Coworkers and spouses currently enrolled in the Franciscan medical plan and who do NOT have a negative nicotine test on file with Franciscan WellCare since Jan. 1, 2015, must submit a negative nicotine test by Sept. 30, 2023, to avoid a surcharge on 2024 medical plan premiums. (This mostly impacts those who joined the medical plan since Sept. 1, 2022.) The vast majority of plan participants have a negative test on file.

In the weeks leading up to the Sept. 30 deadline, the Franciscan WellCare team will send an email notification to any coworker who is currently enrolled in the medical plan and for which there is not a negative nicotine test on file for the employee or insured spouse.

The free nicotine test may be completed at a Franciscan hospital or other approved lab. Refer to the knowledge article in the MyFranciscan Service Center for details, forms and questions.
