Family Medical Leave

 

STOP! Click on the document below and read the FMLA Steps prior to proceeding! 

 

 

Workers Compensation?

If you are on workers compensation, you do not need FMLA. Please go back to the Home page and click on Disability Insurance if you need Short Term Disability. All other Short Term for FMLA see correct links below. 

 

COVID Related Leave?

Use the COVID Exposure link here. COVID Exposure

 

Ready to request FMLA? 

Before you get started, it is important to know that it is the employee's responsibility to request the leave and follow up on all paperwork with FMLASource, USAble Life and Human Resources. Read the FMLA Instructions carefully along with the information on this page.       

Use the FMLASource.com link below to start your leave. If you have never used the FMLASource site before, you will need to register first by providing your Lawson ID. Employees can also call FMLASource at 877-GO2-FMLA. Keep in mind typical long waiting periods like Mondays or during the lunch hour. FMLA packets are received within 5 Days. 

 
FMLASource Website Link 

 

NOT eligible for FMLA?

You could be eligible for NonFMLA. This is a two tier leave with 30 days on each tier up to a max of 60 days. Both tiers require approval through FMLASource. You will use the same instructions as FMLA. Apply through the FMLASource link. FMLASource will then deny the FMLA leave request. If you are eligible for NonFMLA, FMLASource will send you a packet within 5 Days to start the NonFMLA process.  

 

How to manage your FMLA after requested?

 
Will I have to use PTO with my FMLA? 

Employees will use PTO for the first week of missed work. If you have Short Term Disability, you are no longer required to use PTO while out on leave unless you choose to use PTO to supplement your Short Term Disability.  PTO will stop after the first week unless you complete the PTO Continuation Form located below.  If you choose to use PTO after the first week, then you will only use a portion of PTO not to exceed 100% of base pay when combined with STD. 

Employees that do not have Short Term Disability are still required to use PTO for their leave.

Sick bank will work the same. You must use 24 hours of PTO prior to using sick bank.

Who signs the FMLASource forms and where do they go? 

  • The Medical Certification is completed by the employee and the physician who can verify the leave. You have 15 days from the leave request date to submit the forms back to FMLASource to approve or deny the leave request. Contact information on where to send is listed at the top of the certification form. 

    • Please note, if you select to have FMLASource send the certification to your physician, you are still responsible for making sure the form is received and sent back to FMLASource for approval. 

  • The Short Term, Hospital, Accident and Critical Care forms are completed by the employee and the physician that can verify the leave and sent back to USAble Life. Contact information on where to send is listed at the top of each form. Short Term Disability will start after missing 7 days of work. (ONLY USE FORMS SENT FROM FMLASOURCE)

    • Authorization for Release of Medical Records - employee will submit form to USAble Life

    • Fraud Notice - employee will submit to form USAble Life

    • Physician Statement - employee will take the form below to the physician

  • Benefits add/change/payments while out on leave are sent to Human Resources. You can email to HR@sbrmc.org, fax to 870-207-0555 or drop by the office. 

  • Fit for Duty is required to return to work.  This tells the manager that you are released to work and if you have restrictions.  Your physician will complete the form and send back to Human Resources prior to the leave ending. If submitting prior is not possible, you must take a paper copy to your manager on the day you are released to work and then send to Human Resource.

  • IMPORTANT! The decision on the Medical Certification is not required to return to work. Only the Fitness for Duty is required to return to work regardless if a decision on the leave has been made or not.    

  • We encourage you to read through the FMLA Instructions for each leave. 

  • Additional FAQs Click Here  

 

Tracking Absences on FMLA

If you are on a Continuous leave from a start date to an end date, you do not have to track your time.

If you are on an Intermittent Leave or a Reduced Schedule Leave, you must track your time in FMLASource for each day used and the hours used for that day. Use the reporting Intermittent Leave link here for more information on how to track your time in FMLASource. Reporting Intermittent Leave

 

Maintaining Benefits on FMLA

If you have the benefit below and the benefit applies to the leave, simply complete the employee section, have your PCP complete the physician statement and send to the contact information at the top of each form.

Note: if you have a leave request through FMLASource, you do not need the employer statement. The employer information will automatically be sent to USABLE  from FMLASource once the leave is submitted. 

  • Insurance Change & Payment Form - send to Human Resources

  • Short Term Disability Form - send to USAble Life (ONLY USE FORMS SENT FROM FMLASOURCE)

  • Accident Care Form - send to USAble Life

  • Critical Care Form - send to USAble Life

  • Hospital Care Form - send to USAble Life. If you plan to add the baby to your Hospital Care benefit, complete one claim form for you and a separate claim form for the baby. For the baby, the Hospital Attending Physician’s Statement should be emailed to Brittney Martin at bdgoad1@sbrmc.org. Brittney will return the completed statement back to you so you can submit to USAble along with your Attending Physician Statement as well as the Employee Statement.

 

Submitting Online Forms To USAble LIFE

You can submit your EMPLOYEE ONLY forms online by going to usablelife.com. Click on Individuals and Families link and then click on "How to Start a Claim." Physician Statement forms can be submitted separately by the Physician's office. For Short Term Disability, you must notify Human Resources by sending an email to HR@sbrmc.org with your name and employee ID or SSN. Online option is for submitting only. There is not an online option to check the status of the claim. Group Number for St. Bernards Medical is 50042523. Please note, it is the employee's responsibility to follow up on all forms. Click here for the online instructions 

 
Need to Add Dependents?

Be sure to come by HR to pick up your St B baby blanket and coffee card if you are a new parent! You can add dependents if they qualify as a Life Change Event. For more information on Life Change Events, go to the BenefitHUB Home Screen by clicking the St. Bernards logo at the top left hand corner of this page. Then select Life Change Event tab and the event that applies to you.  From here you can either make the changes to your benefits from the enrollment portal or use the benefit change form and submit to Human Resources. Medicaid Health Insurance programs are offered during your stay at St. Bernards. This is NOT adding your child to your benefits.

The portal will show what benefit you are in currently, how much the benefit costs per pay period and the effective dates of each benefit. Simply click on My Benefits from the enrollment portal link below.

NOTE: if there is not a My Benefit link in the left hand navigation, this means you have a benefit that is waiting for an election. Hit next through the prompts and either accept or waive the benefit. Click the orange button at the end to save. 

New Employees - will use the enrollment portal below to sign up for benefits. New employees are eligible for benefits the first of the month following enrollment date with up to 90 days from the hire date to enroll. 

Example: If your hire date is March 4th and you enroll in benefits on March 15th, benefits will start April 1st. If you enroll in benefits on April 1st, your benefit start date is May 1st. You have 90 days from your hire date to enroll in benefits.  

 

How do you log into the enrollment portal?

Username: First 6 characters of last name + first initial of first name + last four digits of your Social Security Number.

Password: Full Social Security Number (SSN) no dashes for new employees. Current employees use the same password you set up during open enrollment. If you do not remember, use the forgot password option.

Username: thompsj4321

When can I make changes to My Benefits? 

If your enrollment period has past, you are able to make changes to your benefits either by a Life Changing Event or during the next open enrollment period. Open enrollment is usually in November each year but could vary. To view a Qualified Life Event, go to the Home page of the BenefitHUB and click on Life Events. 

 

The link below is only to enroll in benefits or to view your individual benefits for the current year. This link will not provide information about that benefit. Before enrolling in your benefits, we encourage you to explore your benefithub. Each benefit we offer at St. Bernards will have an individual page where you will find benefit summaries, plan documents, links to providers in-network and other important information on that benefit. Simply, return to the home page of this site and click on the benefit to view details. 

 

IMPORTANT!!! IMPORTANT!!! 

 

If you have newly hired or changed in a status, you will NOT be able to enroll online for the first 2 weeks. You will receive an error or message to contact your administrator during that time. If by the third week, you still cannot get in the system, contact HR. 

 

Enroll-In-Person? Benefit representatives will be onsite the 2nd Friday of each month from 10am to 2pm in HR. If you rather meet in person, just know there is not a schedule and you will be helped in the order received. 
 
Before You Enroll - ALL OPEN ENROLLMENT PASSWORDS HAVE BEEN CHANGED BACK TO THE SSN WITH NO DASHES.

St. Bernards Counseling Center will release information only to those individuals you desire to share the information with.

It is important to identify yourself as a member of St. Bermards EAP to ensure that your benefits are rendered correctly. Benefit eligible St. Bernard employees are eligible for 9 
FREE visits per year.
Air Evac
All of us see the effects of motor vehicle accidents, all-terrain vehicle accidents, and other situations where time is critical and the cost to transport for critical care is tremendous. An average air ambulance flight bill is $25,000. With an Air Evac Lifeteam membership, you and your family are covered!

During annual enrollment, a 1-year membership can be purchased per household. Membership provides coverage for transport by an AirMedCare Network air ambulance provider to the closest appropriate medical facility for injuries or illness that are deemed, by an attending medical professional, as life or limb-threatening or that could lead to permanent disability.
Benefit Details
  • If new members need more than two Air Evac automobile stickers, please indicate the total number needed on the membership enrollment form. Stickers can also be placed on ATVs, boats, tractors, etc.
  • Air Evac suggests listing any second home address on the membership application, such as a lake home, where members might have a potential pick-up; please include a note to the membership application for address number two.
  • Student dependents living out of the home are still covered by the primary household membership.
  • In order to receive the special contracted pricing listed above: 1) the application form used has to be the SHARP Air Evac membership application form, 2) the check has to be made out to SHARP, Inc.
For more information, contact SHARP at 972.0032 or go by the office located at 105 E Matthews Suite A; Jonesboro, AR 72401.

    • Once the benefit is paid for, the deduction will stop and you will receive an email from MamaBear on how to start the Will process. 

Sign & Make It Legal

What are Worksite Benefits?

Regular expenses, big and small, can add up. Think about your ability to pay for those expenses if you or your family member experience a covered accident, illness, or hospitalization. While your medical insurance will provide some coverage, St Bernards Critical Care Elite, Accident Elite, and Hospital Care plans pay benefits directly to you in the event of a covered accident, illness, or hospitalization, and you decide how to use the benefit. You could even use the benefit to pay for something totally unrelated such as childcare, travel expenses, groceries, everyday bills, or any other expenses you need help covering.

Why do employees request voluntary/worksite benefits?

  • low-cost coverage
  • pre-taxed premiums
  • payroll deducted
  • quick claims turnaround
  • portable

Voluntary/worksite benefits options  

  • accident
  • cancer/critical illness
  • hospital indemnity

Hospital Care

You have the option to purchase Hospital Care coverage through USAble. You have two plan options to choose from and you can elect coverage for yourself, your spouse, and your children. This coverage pays a benefit directly to you when you are admitted to the hospital for a covered stay.

While we have great medical benefits under the health plan, this coverage complements your health insurance to help you pay for the costs associated with a hospital stay. It can also provide funds which can be used to help pay the out-of-pocket expenses your medical plan may not cover, such as coinsurance, copays, and deductibles. Evidence of Insurability (EOI) is never required when enrolling in the Hospital Care plan.

Critical Care

Every few seconds, an American suffers a heart attack or learns that he or she has cancer. The impact on their family’s finances can be devastating. The copays and the expenses that aren’t covered by major medical insurance eat away at savings as well as the belief that things can get better.

For Regular Full-time Employees. This plan does not include Staff Support Employees.

 

SHARP (St. Bernards Healthcare Associated Regional Providers, Inc.) is a physician hospital organization (PHO) developed in 1994 by St. Bernards Healthcare and the physicians in Northeast Arkansas. SHARP connects providers, employers, and patients seeking medical services to create the very best healthcare service possible at an affordable rate. With over 4,300 providers and 173 facilities, SHARP is one of only a few PHOs in the country that is licensed to provide services to review the necessity, use, appropriateness, and efficiency of healthcare services. Utilization review is about verifying value for the healthcare consumer.

SHARP provides St. Bernards Medical Center employees the following services to help reduce healthcare costs.

We partner with BlueAdvantage Administrators and SHARP to offer medical coverage for the St. Bernards Health Plan.

BlueAdvantage Administrators can provide you with all information as it relates to what your health plan will cover, benefit limits, claims processing and explanation of benefits (EOBs). For medical claims call 800-370-5853 and for prescription claims call 888.293.3748.

SHARP can provide you with our in-network providers. They also are able to case manage on some physicians that are out-of-network.

Network Coverage:

  • SHARP Identifies In-Network Providers—contact SHARP for local and surrounding areas in-network providers and facilities.

  • Referrals outside SHARP Network—Must have prior authorization from referring physician to SHARP prior to services rendered. Specialists visits outside of the SHARP network must be referred from the current treating Specialist in-network.

  • To find a SHARP provider or facility in-network, go to https://www.stbernards.info/sharp-pho Or call 870-972-0032

* This True Blue PPO is essentially  a "wrap" network to the  SHARP PHO network.  If SHARP pre-approves and refers a member to one of the True Blue PPO providers (Tier 2), then the claim would be paid at 80% after the deductible is met. If SHARP does not pre-approve using a provider outside of the SHARP network, it is subject to only being paid at 25% after the deductible is met. Care provided by an out-of-network facility in the event of an emergency is processed as an in-network claim.  See plan documents for specifics.

The Primary Coverage Criteria apply to ALL benefits members may claim under their plan, no matter what types of health intervention may be involved or when or where members obtain the intervention.

Prescription Plan
Formulary

St. Bernards uses the Standard with Step Therapy Formulary (list of drugs covered by tier) which follows a step therapy approach. Members are required to purchase a generic drug before a brand-name drug is covered. If a member hasn’t used the generic option in 24 months, or the member’s physician does not submit a request for approval to get brand without having the Step, the member is required to try generic or the name brand drug will be considered a 100% member pay drug. Please keep in mind you have access to the Employee Pharmacy which could save you money.

USABLE DRUG FORMULARY
Immunizations

Medical plan members can utilize pharmacies for vaccinations. Certain vaccinations, as provided by the Affordable Care Act, are 100% covered using the prescription drug benefit. This includes all the preventive routine vaccinations but does not apply to travel related vaccinations. The shingles vaccine is now covered at 100% administered at a pharmacy.

What is a Qualifying Life Event?

A qualifying life event (QLE) is an event deemed acceptable by the IRS that may allow participants in section 125 plans to change their benefit elections. You may change your benefit elections during the annual Open Enrollment period or during the year if you experience a Qualifying Life Event. A Life Event change permits employees to make certain mid-year benefit changes consistent with the qualifying event. You must consult your Benefits Administrator within 31 days from the date of the event to make changes.

Qualifying Life Events
  1.  Special Enrollment Rights: An event described in the Special Enrollment provisions as shown in the group policy/plan;

  2.  Entitlement to or loss of eligibility for Medicare or Medicaid: The employee or the employee's dependent becomes entitled to or loses eligibility for Medicare (Part A or Part B) or Medicaid.

  3.  Special Requirements relating to the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA): An employee takes leave under FMLA, in which case the employee may revoke an existing election of health plan coverage and make such other election for the remaining portion of the period of coverage as may be provided for under FMLA.

  4. Significant cost or coverage changes: Cost of coverage changes significantly.

  5. A judgment, decree or order: Resulting from a divorce, legal separation, annulment, or change in legal custody (including a qualified child support order) that requires health coverage for an employee's dependent child or for a foster child who is a dependent of the employee.

Changes in status events, which include the following:
  •  Legal marital status: Change in the employee's legal marital status, including marriage, death of spouse, divorce, legal separation and annulment;

  •  Number of dependents: Change in the employee's number of dependents, including birth, death, adoption and placement for adoption.

  •  Employment status: Change in the employment status of the employee or the employee's dependent, including termination or commencement of employment, a strike or lockout, a commencement of or return from an unpaid leave of absence or a change in worksite. This also includes a change in the employee's or the employee's dependent's employment status resulting in the individual becoming or ceasing to be eligible under the group policy/plan;

  •  Eligible dependent status: Change in the eligibility of a dependent due to reaching a limiting age, change in student status or any similar circumstance; and

  •  Residence: Change in the place of residence of the employee or the employee's dependent provided that the change in place of residence affects the eligibility for the employee or the employee's dependent's coverage under the group policy/plan.

Consistency Rule: In all cases, any election change as a result of any change in status must be on account of and correspond with a change in status that affects eligibility for coverage under the plan. For example, if the change in status is the employee's divorce, the death of a spouse, an employee's election to cancel health coverage will apply only to the spouse involved.

Tax Forms 

To change your tax withholdings, complete the forms below and return to Human Resources. Changes are made on the next payroll. 

Federal Tax Form
State Tax Form
Name Change

For a name change, complete the change form from the link below. A copy of your Social Security Card with the new name is required. You can either bring it into Human Resources or email to HR@sbrmc.org.

Name Change Link
For the Social Security Administration

If you legally change your name because you get married, you will need to apply for a corrected Social Security card with your changed name. Failure to do so could delay a tax refund coming to you or prevent some of your pay from being credited properly to your Social Security record, which could cause your future Social Security benefits to be less than they should be. You will need to provide a recently issued document, such as your marriage license/certificate, as proof of your legal name change. If the document you provide does not give the Social Security Administration enough information to identify you in its records, you will be asked for an identity document showing your old name and another in your new name providing evidence of your identity.

When To Make Benefit Changes

After the birth or adoption (official placement or final decree), or court order, you may add the child to your existing medical, dental, or vision coverage, or drop your coverage to go on your spouse’s plan. You may elect to change your medical FSA amount and start or change a dependent care FSA. You may also elect child life insurance. You will need to complete the appropriate forms and provide a copy of the certified birth certificate, adoption placement order or decree, or court order. You must consult your HR Department within 31 days from the date of the event to make changes.
