Appendix B
Resident Benefits Summary
A. Choice Time (CT)
All Residents covered by this benefits summary are eligible for paid time off each
contract year and this time is approved by the residency’s accrediting organizations
(American Osteopathic Association (AOA) and the Accreditation Council on Graduate
Medical Education (ACGME)).
Each Resident will receive a choice time bank of 192 hours on the first day of the
contract year. These hours represent fifteen (15) days of vacation and nine (9) holidays.
Residents must use up this bank of time before the start of the next contractual year (no
carry over from one contract year to another is allowed). No payment of any positive
balance choice time hours is paid to any Resident who separates employment from CMH
either by choice, is asked to leave or successfully completes the residency program.
The six holidays (Residency and associated Family Medicine Center are closed) are:
1. New Year’s Day (January 1st)
2. Memorial Day (last Monday in May)
3. Independence Day (July 4th)
4. Labor Day (1st Monday in September)
5. Thanksgiving Day (4th Thursday in November)
6. Christmas Day (December 25th)
In addition, each Resident is awarded three (3) “floating” holidays that they can choose to
take (with a approved residency leave request) on the actual holiday days (President’s
Day, Patriot’s Day, Day after Thanksgiving) or choose to take at another time that is
more convenient with their educational schedule.
If a Resident has a medical or family leave need that exceeds their choice time bank, the
Residents are able, with the Program Director’s permission, to have time off without pay
and those educational days will be added to the end of their residency cycle.
B. Sick Bank Plan
Each Resident will receive a sick bank of 48 hours (6 days) on the first day of the
contract year. The balance available will appear on their pay stubs. Sick time hours are
paid at 100% of the Resident’s salary. As with normal base pay, Sick Bank is taxable
and withholding will be applied by the CMH Payroll Department. If the Sick Bank time
is not used in the Resident’s contractual year (1st, 2nd or 3rd), the hours are removed prior
to the start of next academic year or at the time of successful completion (no carry over
from one contract year to another is allowed).
7
Residents may elect to participate, at their own cost, in the CMH voluntary benefit of
Short Term Disability (see Voluntary Benefit H-5 below) to further protect income and
supplement the sick time payments during medical leaves of absence.
C. Bereavement Leave
In the event of a death in a Resident’s immediate family, a Resident is eligible for paid
time off equal to 100% of their normal scheduled number of hours up to a period of one
week (see CMH policy HC-HR-3406 for more details). If Bereavement Leave is
exercised by the resident, it may result in an extension of the residency cycle, per
accreditation requirements. In addition, a Resident cannot utilize more than thirty (30)
days of total leave (vacation, sick and bereavement leave); per contract year or it will
result in an extension of the residency cycle, per accreditation requirements.
D. Jury Duty
A Resident called for jury duty on a day when the Resident was scheduled to work is paid
regular earnings for the scheduled shift. See CMH policy Jury Duty and Hospital Related
Court Appearances CMMF-HR-3407 for more details. If Jury Duty is exercised by the
resident, it may result in an extension of the residency cycle, per accreditation
requirements.
E. Adoption Assistance
CMH supports Residents who are adopting children by providing reimbursement for
certain adoption related expenses. Residents with at least two consecutive years of
service immediately prior to adoption are eligible. Documented expenses will be covered

(prorated) per contract year – or five (5) 8 hour days - of paid CME time off for educational purposes.

$1,800 for expenses associated with CME including up to $200 for the purchase of a

G. Flexible, or Voluntary, Benefits Available
1.
Health Insurance
CMH offers Residents and their eligible dependents a health insurance plan
managed by UMR, a Third Party Administrator affiliated with United
Healthcare.
In addition to accessing the services and favorable 90% co-insurance of CMH
PHO providers and facilities, the insurance plan offers access and reasonable
levels of co-insurance for United Healthcare Options PPO network participants
throughout Maine, New England and the country, as well. All hospitals in
Maine are participants in the UHC Options PPO network at this time.
9
A Resident may choose one of two plans: the “lower deductible” plan or the
“higher deductible” plan. Both plans offer the same coverage for medical
services and prescription drugs. The differences between the plans are a) the
monthly premiums b) the level of deductible a Resident must reach before
certain, additional benefits kick in and c) the amount of their maximum out-ofpocket costs for the year. There are no co-pays or limits on “well visits.” The
details of the health insurance options in place at any point in time are
available for review at www.cmmfhealthydecisions.com.
2.
Dental Insurance
CMH offers Residents and their eligible dependents a comprehensive Dental
Plan managed by UMR that is designed to encourage regular checkups and
preventive care to correct minor dental problems—before they become
serious—and to help cover the cost of more expensive dental procedures.
3.
Group Term Life Insurance
CMH automatically provides Residents with Basic Life Insurance equal to one
times base salary. This coverage includes Accidental Death and
Dismemberment (AD&D). The Basic Life Insurance amount will double in
the event of an accidental death. Additional benefits are received for accidental
dismemberment.
A Resident has the option of purchasing supplemental life insurance covering
an additional one to four times their base annual salary. If Residents wish to
enroll or increase more than one level, an EOI (Evidence of Insurability) form
is required. The maximum benefit limit for employee life insurance (i.e. the
total sum of basic and supplemental life insurance that would be paid upon
death) is $650,000.
4.
Dependent Life Insurance is available to cover spouses, partners and
children.
5.
Short-Term Disability Insurance (STD)
CMH’s STD insurance carrier offers guaranteed acceptance, regardless of a
Resident’s health. Pre-existing conditions are not covered until Residents have
been covered for at least 12 consecutive months.
Benefits begin on the 15th day of disability for off-the-job accidents and
sickness. Benefits can be paid out for a maximum of 13 weeks.
STD plans are available to replace anywhere from 50-70% of a Resident’s predisability income, with a $3,000 a week maximum benefit. STD premiums
paid by the employee are withheld after-tax, and any STD benefits paid out to
the Resident would also be tax free.
10
A Resident’s Sick days may be used to supplement short-term-disability
benefits (not to exceed 100% of pre-disability income.)
6.
Long-Term Disability Insurance (LTD)
The Long-Term Disability (LTD) Plan provides Residents with 60% of their
base earnings when they are disabled due to illness or injury for longer than
ninety (90) calendar days. This plan is available to all full time and regular part
time Residents at no cost.
The maximum monthly benefit is $15,000. A Resident’s benefits may be
reduced by the amount of other disability benefits they receive such as Social
Security, workers’ compensation or rehabilitation benefits. Residents may
choose to be taxed on either the premium or the monthly benefit, if disabled.
7.
Healthcare Spending Account (HSA)
Residents may contribute between $100 and $5,000 per year pre-tax to a
Health Care Spending Account.
By participating, they set aside money from their paycheck on a pre-tax basis
and then use the money to pay for eligible health care expenses. The net effect
is that a Resident reduces their amount of out-of-pocket costs by the amount of
taxes they otherwise would have had to pay.
8.
Dependent Care Spending Account
By contributing to a Dependent Care Spending Account, the Resident can set
aside pre-tax money to pay the cost of caring for a child or other eligible
dependent while they and their spouse or partner are at work. Deductions and
reimbursements are tax-free. CMH will subsidize the Resident with an
additional 15% contribution on top of the Resident’s contribution election. The
total account, including the subsidy, can be between $100 and $5,000 per year.
9. Wellness Center.
The CMMC Wellness Center is located on the lower level of 12 High Street on
the CMMC campus. The facility offers an assortment of cardiovascular and
strength equipment, well equipped locker rooms, personal trainer services and a
variety of facilitated exercise classes. A membership fee is required and can be
payroll deducted.
