Northside has three medical plans available. They are administered by Humana. We have a Smart Choice Blue, a Smart Choice Green, and a Smart Choice Yellow plan. Now, the Blue and the Green plan are both PPO plans. The Yellow plan is a high-deductible health plan. Now, by being an employee here at Northside, if you select a Northside medical plan, there is the Northside Advantage Program available. That means if you use a Northside facility for any inpatient, outpatient, lab, X-rays, any hospital care services at a Northside facility, you would pay a lesser benefit on your deductible and your co-insurance as opposed to the regular in-network benefit. Now, this is for the actual facility fees. It doesn't include physician fees. So physician fees are not included in the Northside Advantage Program. It is covered as a regular in-network benefit with the regular copay, deductible, and co-insurance.

One of the things that stands out to me in a new employee is an employee that decides they're going to take their own self initiative to be self-directed in the mastery of whatever field they're in. They're the ones that will take that initiative on and off the job to find sources for growth, for development, for continued learning and training. They're committed to their own growth, regardless of whether the department asks them to continue to grow. That is the self-development and mastery that stands out. That's when patients can tell you really know your stuff, you're committed to the level of your highest peers. That's one of the things that stands out to me the most and that's what I look for in candidates.
