Overview
To help protect the financial well-being of your loved ones, Novant Health provides basic life insurance — at no cost to you. You also have the opportunity to purchase supplemental coverage.
Life and AD&D insurance plans
Basic life
Novant Health provides company-paid life insurance coverage of a specific amount that lasts throughout your employment.
Supplemental life and AD&D insurance
If you want additional coverage, you can buy supplemental life and AD&D insurance for yourself and your family.
Be sure to name a beneficiary
Designate a beneficiary (and keep it up-to-date) in order to receive the benefit paid by a life insurance. You can desginate your benefirciary in your enrollment system.
Basic Life
Novant Health provides basic life insurance to assist you and your family. This benefit is fully paid by the company and coverage is automatic — you do not need to enroll.
Benefits are equal to:
- Basic life insurance: 1.5x your base pay, up to a maximum coverage amount of $1,000,000.
How company-paid life insurance is taxed
The IRS requires you to pay taxes on the value of any company-paid life insurance coverage over $50,000. This is called imputed income; you’ll notice it on your pay statements and your W-2.
Supplemental Life and AD&D Insurance
For more financial protection beyond Novant Health’s basic coverage, you can buy supplemental life and AD&D insurance for yourself and your family members. You can enroll as a new hire, during Open Enrollment, or if you have a qualifying life event – see instructions below. You pay the full cost of this coverage, which is provided through The Hartford.

What is AD&D insurance?
If you lose your life, sight, hearing, speech, or use of your limb(s) in an accident, AD&D insurance provides additional benefits to help keep your family financially secure. AD&D benefits are paid as a percentage of your coverage amount — from 50% to 100% — depending on the type of loss.
