Today, as part of Silkin Management Group’s series of sample office policies for a health care office, we’ll present a sample policy that many Silkin Management Group clients adapt to their office. This policy is contained in Silkin Management Group’s Job Description and Office Policy Manual.
OFFICE BENEFITS FOR STAFF
Full and part-time employees may receive free care after three months of continuous employment. Lab costs are not included. Material costs (i.e. glasses in an optometric office) are offered at 50% of cost.
Immediate family members of our staff will be given a 50% discount off the usual fee for treatment. An immediate family member is defined as a spouse and/or children under the age of 18.
If you have insurance, you do need to use it, but the portion that insurance doesn’t cover will be handled as covered above. This is true also for any family members who take advantage of this office benefit.
At the doctor’s discretion, treatment can be scheduled either during normal working hours or outside normal hours. If you schedule treatment during normal work hours, it will be considered unpaid time, but can be deducted from any sick or personal time.
This benefit is only for treatment given during the time of employment. It ends upon termination of employment.
The above sample policy is one of many we’ve presented on our various Silkin Management Group blog sites over the last several weeks. You can access one of these sites by linking here: Sample Policy on Advance Payment of Wages.
