Your Retirement Plans

401(k) Retirement Plan

Allows teammates to save and invest a portion of their paycheck on a pretax or Roth after-tax basis. Federal and state income taxes on pretax savings, as well as investment earnings, are deferred until the dollars are withdrawn at retirement. Atrium Health also makes contributions to the 401(k) plan.

Learn more about the 401(k) Retirement Plan.


Health Savings Account (HSA)

Includes contributions from both teammates and Atrium Health. Funds from the HSA are used to pay for eligible healthcare expenses. This includes prescription medications, vision and dental expenses, office visits, deductibles and co-insurance. HSA contributions and earnings are not taxed when the dollars are deposited or when the teammate takes them out for healthcare-related expenses. Teammates can invest money in their HSA, similar to the 401(k) plan, once the account balance reaches $1,000.

Learn more about the Health Savings Account.

ADVANTAGE Retirement Plan

Works similarly to the 401(k) plan in that savings and earnings grow tax-free until dollars are withdrawn at retirement. The ADVANTAGE plan should be utilized as an additional pretax retirement plan to supplement the 401(k) plan.

Learn more about the ADVANTAGE Retirement Plan.
