Health Coverage for Part-Time Staff and Faculty
- Classified staff, University and Academic Professionals and faculty who work 75 percent or more FTE (full-time equivalency) are considered full-time for health benefits coverage, which means that VCU pays a portion of the premium and the employee pays a portion of the premium.
- Classified staff, University and Academic Professionals and faculty who work between 50 and 74.9 percent FTE are eligible for health benefits coverage; however, participants pay the total premium (VCU’s premium portion plus their own premium portion).
Clinical Faculty
- Clinical faculty hold academic appointments with Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) and are separately employed by MCV Physicians (MCVP), which is the faculty practice plan of VCU Health. VCU and MCVP are separate employers. Each employer pays a separate salary and offers its own range of benefits to clinical faculty. Please be sure to contact the correct HR office for questions regarding each benefit.
- A summary of benefits is available in the Clinical Faculty - Summary of Benefits. For more information about benefits provided by MCVP, log into the VCU Health Intranet or contact VCU Health System Human Resources.
