Dental

If you choose, Altru offers dental coverage through the Delta Dental plan. This plan covers 100 percent of most diagnostic and preventive care services, 80 percent of basic services and 50 percent of major procedures and orthodontic services based on the $1,000 allowed amount. The coverage may vary depending on the date of service and previous claims.

Vision

Altru employees also have access to a materials-only vision plan offered through EyeMed. This voluntary plan allows employees and their dependents additional benefits for eyeglasses and contacts. The exam would still be covered under the medical plan.

Retirement Plan

Making contributions to a 401(k) account is the first step toward achieving financial security later in life. The Altru Health System 401(k) Plan provides you with the tools and flexibility you need to retire comfortably and securely.

Altru offers a 401(k) Plan with a match of 100% on the first 4% of contributions and a 50% match on the next 2%. For example, if an employee contributes at least 6% of pay, Altru will contribute 5% to the plan as a match. Administrative and record-keeping services for the 401(k) Plan are provided by Alerus.
