Whole life insurance
Whole life insurance is also available through Boston Mutual. In addition to providing death benefits to your designated beneficiaries, this coverage builds cash value that can be used while you are living. As long as premiums continue to be paid, your rate is guaranteed never to increase, and your benefit will never decrease. Coverage is available for you, your spouse, children and grandchildren. To enroll in this coverage, call the benefits help line at 888-494-9119.
Workers’ compensation
Workers’ compensation benefits are provided to employees for work-related injuries and incidents that occur by accident and arise out of the course and scope of employment with The University of Kansas Health System. These benefits are provided at no cost to employees.
All work-related injuries and incidents must be reported, even when the employee does not want to receive medical
treatment or an evaluation. Employees who sustain work-related injuries, exposures or occupational illnesses should
immediately inform their supervisor and then take the following steps based on their work location:
KANSAS CITY:
- Call the NurseNow triage line at 913-356-5350.
GREAT BEND:
- Call the employee health nurse and follow their guidance on completing the correct forms.
If you don’t report an occupational event within 20 days, you may lose your right to workers’ compensation benefits.
