Changes coming soon!

2025 is right around the corner, and Philips US benefits are getting even better.

“Great” wasn’t good enough! Check out what we’re offering next year.

Benefit enhancements

What’s new? Lots! You can take a quick look below at the benefits and programs Philips will introduce for 2025.

What's new

2025 medical plan additions

BCBS virtual primary care

Even more medical services will be available virtually. Your virtual primary care team includes a primary care physician, a care coordinator, and a mental health professional who can meet via talk, text or chat. Same-day appointments are often available. Learn more.

Gender transition services

Currently, there is coverage for gender transition services under the Philips BCBS and UPMC medical plans. In 2025, we are expanding on the existing benefit to include services for employees and/or dependents enrolled in a Philips BCBS or UPMC medical plan who have transitioned and decide to de-transition. For help with navigating your benefits, contact Health Advocate at 1-888-367-7223, option 1.
A Taste of Your Own Medicine

Prescription drugs

Effective January 1, 2025, Capital Rx will replace CVS as our prescription drug carrier. Now, you can fill medications at any of the 60,000+ retail pharmacies in the Capital Rx network or via mail order. While Capital Rx might cover some medications at different rates than before, overall, we expect greater flexibility and cost transparency for you and Philips, with minimal disruption.
Kindbody has entered the chat

Women’s health

Philips will be partnering with Kindbody to provide a new total health benefit for women. No matter what stage of life, Kindbody is there to assist.

BCBS and UPMC plan participants will have access to:

  • Fertility services and reproductive health
  • Menopause services, like:
    • Coaching
    • Symptom control and management
    • Nutrition assistance

ALL benefit-eligible employees will have access to:

  • Return-to-work services
    • Resources for new parents returning to work

    • Reimbursement
    • Navigation resources
Parent from anywhere, for any reason

Breast milk shipping

Starting in 2025, you can access Milk Stork services when you’re traveling for work or for personal reasons. Milk Stork makes it easy to manage the logistical challenges that come with breastfeeding and traveling, and it’s provided at no cost for Philips employees. The service provides no-fuss, refrigerated, express shipping or easy toting of breast milk to your baby. The Milk Stork benefit can also be used to transport breast milk for those who have adopted or used a surrogate.
The kids are all right

Caregiving services

Finding caregivers for your kids is a stressful and sensitive subject. Philips is adding more parental and child care support options that you can trust to take care of your little ones. Effective January 1, Cariloop is expanding from adult and elder care services only. Now, it’ll include pediatric and childcare services (replacing Care.com) with a pediatric concierge and a self-service national caregiving network, UrbanSitter.
More talk therapy

EAP

It's there for you when you need it, now with more visits. In 2025, your SupportLinc EAP visits are increasing from six to eight visits per issue, per year. Employees and household members have access to free, confidential support, anytime. Just call 1-888-881-5462, or visit SupportLinc.com.
More time when it matters most

Leaves of absence

Philips recognizes that life can be challenging at times. To ensure that you have the support you need during those life moments, we are expanding our paid leave programs as follows:

  • Bereavement Leave for the death of a spouse or child, including pregnancy loss, will be increased from five days to 10 days.
  • Caregiver Leave will increase from two weeks to three weeks. Eligible reasons to take Caregiver Leave will expand to include:
    • The return of a spouse or domestic partner from U.S. military deployment
    • An employee or family member who experiences domestic violence, harassment, stalking, sexual assault or abuse

Blankets up

When you’re not feeling well, even a visit to the doctor can feel impossible. Lucky for you, telehealth services through Well Connection are part of your Philips BCBS medical plan. That means you can chat with a doctor right from the comfort of your bed and even have medication prescribed, if needed. Make yourself a nice cup of tea (or have someone do it for you) and get comfy. The doctor will see you now!

Telehealth appointments are available for both medical and behavioral health consultations in nonemergency situations.

Feel confident knowing you can take care of your teeth with one of our comprehensive dental plans. Philips has a Basic plan for preventive care and more involved dental work and an Enhanced plan with even higher coverage. To make sure you have the best coverage, Philips also offers TWO insurance carriers to choose from—Cigna Dental or Delta Dental of Massachusetts.

Philips offers two vision plans through VSP. The Basic Plan provides coverage toward the essentials: an annual checkup and an allowance for contacts or frames and lenses. If you want a higher allowance or need enhancements to your lenses, the Enhanced Plan is the way to go.

One plan, two purposes

Some things belong together. Like peanut butter and jelly. Like snow and sleds. And like medical and prescription drug insurance.

When you enroll in a BCBS or UPMC Philips medical plan, your plan automatically includes prescription drug coverage through CVS Health. Use your coverage for routine needs, bigger things like chronic conditions, and everything in between. Get prescriptions filled at your local pharmacy, or have them delivered straight to your doorstep—you choose!

Growing and Saving Your Money

U.S. 401(k) Plan

A match made in heaven

We hope you spend many happy years at Philips. But when it’s time to enjoy your golden years, you’ll need (and want) financial security. That’s why Philips delivers a generous company match to your Philips 401(k) plan. That’s free money toward your retirement if you contribute to the 401(k) plan.

Philips matches the first 4% of your eligible earnings that you contribute to your 401(k) at 150% and matches the next 2% that you contribute at 50%. So, if you contribute 6% of your salary, you’ll generally score the maximum Philips match of 7%, for a total of 13% in savings.

NOTE: Employees located in Puerto Rico or Employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement are not eligible for this benefit. Refer to your specific plan documents for details.

Flexible Spending Accounts

Lower your tax bill

You’ll feel like a bona fide tax pro when you sign up for one or more of our flexible spending accounts (FSAs). That’s because the IRS lets you set aside money each year, tax free, to use on qualified medical, dental, vision and/or day care expenses, which means you keep more of your hard-earned paycheck. Just plan ahead! Balances cannot be carried over into the next year.
happy woman with US dollars wrapped around fingers
Health Savings Account

Your lucky number is 3

You may be eligible to open a health savings account (HSA) to lower your taxes in three ways. Neither your HSA contributions nor those Philips makes are taxed. You aren’t taxed when you spend that money on qualified health expenses. And you aren’t taxed on your HSA’s investment gains.

The best part? Contributions to your HSA add up over time. You can let your savings grow each year to use later on, even in retirement. Pretty great, right?

Diabetes Support

Track diabetes with ease

Life gets trickier after a diabetes diagnosis. You need to eat at consistent times and avoid certain foods. You have to monitor your blood sugar. You might take insulin injections.

Omada significantly reduces those challenges. Their app-based program tracks your blood glucose at all times with a wearable monitor and helps you manage your blood sugar better. Many Omada users reduce—or completely eliminate—their need for insulin. You and your covered dependents (age 18 and older) who are enrolled in a Philips-sponsored Blue Cross Blue Shield or UPMC medical plan can sign up for Omada at NO COST following a diabetes diagnosis.

Expecting? 
Expect the Best

Meet Bella

A 26-year-old newlywed, Bella isn’t quite ready to start a family yet. But she’s curious about the support she’ll receive from Philips. 

Bella's Benefits

And while Bella and her partner are excited to start their family, they’re already thinking—and stressing—about the challenges. What if we can’t get pregnant? How do adoption and surrogacy work? What unique support do we have as a same-sex female couple?

It’s OK, Bella. Philips has your back.

Navigating Healthcare

Insurance expertise

Finding doctors, scheduling appointments, submitting claims and coordinating benefits can be challenging and time consuming for Bella. Health Advocate can assist her with it all and even point her to healthy pregnancy programs through her medical plan provider.
Parental Leave

Take time

Bella knows that having a newborn will bring plenty of life changes. But as a Philips employee, she can take eight weeks of paid maternity leave and an additional four weeks of paid parental leave. Add another four weeks of full-time pay for part-time work when she returns to work—now that’s real support.
Caregiver Resources

Child care simplified

She’s heard all about child care challenges from friends who have recently had a baby. Child care facilities are expensive, and being on a wait list can last for months. Kids get sick and then have to stay home from day care. And placing a child in someone else’s hands for the first time is a daunting thought. Philips gets it. We cover Bella’s annual membership fee to Care.com, giving her access to over 12,000 vetted caregivers and caregiving facilities.
Expecting Parents Gift Program

A baby shower

In addition to all the gifts she’ll receive from her friends and family, Bella may select a gift from the Expecting Parents Gift Program, full of Philips natural or anti-colic Avent products, regardless of whether she has the baby naturally, through adoption or by a surrogate. She can also download the Pregnancy+ and Baby+ apps to keep track of her baby’s development. Plus, as an employee, she receives up to 60% off Avent products through the Philips Employee Store.
Milk Stork

Milk shipping

Traveling as a new mom can be super stressful. Bella will feel extra supported knowing that when she needs to travel for work, she can use Milk Stork to cool, store and ship breast milk back home overnight.
SupportLinc

Catching z’s

Middle of the night feedings. Diaper changes at 2:00 a.m. When Bella needs help getting the whole family to sleep on a regular schedule (or even to catch a nap here and there), she can contact SupportLinc, Philips’ Employee Assistance Program (EAP). The EAP offers coaching, virtual support groups and toolkits with sleep resources to help all get a good-quality rest.
Telehealth

Doctor now, please?

As a new parent, Bella knows she’ll worry when she hears the baby coughing in the middle of the night or the baby gets sick for the first time. She does a quick search about providers who are available after hours and remembers that she has Well Connection as an option under her Philips medical plan. Just a few quick clicks and Bella’s signed up and ready to have her baby seen by a board-certified doctor, all from the comfort of her home. Plus, she has access to a 24-hour nurse line for when she needs advice about her baby’s health.

Meet Damien

At 47, Damien’s plate is full. Divorced with two kids, he is juggling lots of priorities. 

Damien's Benefits

Processing his divorce. Caring for his kids when he has them. Taking care of his health. Finding a therapist. Figuring out what to do with his aging parents. Breathe, Damien. There’s a benefit for that, and Philips offers many of them at no additional cost to employees.

Substance Abuse

Bye, bad habits

With the stress piling up, Damien found himself drinking more than he knows is healthy. He turned to Pelago to get a handle on his alcohol use, and now he’s back to drinking in moderation. Pelago is a virtual substance abuse support program for employees and dependents 18+ enrolled in a BCBS or UPMC medical plan.
Back-Up Care

The kids are all right

With a busy schedule, Damien often needs help getting his kids to and from school and activities on the days he has them. He inquires about what Philips may have and learns that his annual membership to Care.com is 100% paid for. Now, Damien can search the more than 12,000 caregivers and caregiving facilities—all vetted by Care.com—for his unique needs.
Back Pain

Stand up straight

Last week, Damien’s back went stiff. He thinks it’s from sitting at the computer so much, but it hurts quite a bit, and he’s thinking he might need to go to the doctor. Since Damien is enrolled in one of Philip’s Blue Cross Blue Shield medical plans, he can access Hinge Health for physical therapy resources and a personal care team to get a unique program set up just for him and his back issue.
Digestive Health

Gut check

Lately, Damien has been experiencing some stomach issues. At first, he thought it was nerves, but it’s happening more regularly and especially around meal times. Because Damien is enrolled in an eligible Philips medical plan, he connects with Cylinder to help with digestive issues and gets a GutCheck microbiome test to help pinpoint the issue.
Navigating Healthcare

Insurance, explained

Damien’s a bit overwhelmed with scheduling appointments and finding doctors for himself and his children. No problem! Health Advocate can review his benefits, find providers, and schedule appointments on his behalf. On his first call, his personal health advocate reminds Damien that he can score $400 just for participating in the Philips Wellness Program and tally 50 points for taking care of his overdue eye exam.
Care Coaching

Aging parents

Another big stressor is the fact that Damien’s parents are getting older and in need of help. But between work, caring for the kids and all of the other to-dos, he doesn’t know where to start. A colleague mentions that Philips offers Cariloop to all benefits-eligible employees, which gives Damien access to a Care Coach to help him and his siblings navigate the next steps in care for his parents.
Employee Assistance Program

Minding mental health

All of this is a lot for Damien. He notices that he isn’t sleeping well, he’s feeling overwhelmed, and he needs someone to talk to. On the advice of his manager, Damien takes a sick day for a mental reset. Going forward, he resolves to contact SupportLinc (Philips' Employee Assistance Program) for 24/7 phone access to licensed clinicians and short-term counseling sessions. Plus, he can access SupportLinc for additional resources, like referrals for pet care, programming to help with sleep, and financial and legal consultations.

Vacay or staycay?

Everyone needs time to relax and recharge. Whether you head out of town for an adventure or stay home and chill is your choice. Just make sure you take advantage of your generous paid vacation leave. Hourly employees accrue between three and five weeks of paid vacation every calendar year depending on years of service. Salaried employees have flexible vacation time. Make plans to travel, spend time with family or relax at home with a good book. Go ahead! The world awaits.

Paid Holidays

Paid holidays, anyone?

Philips is proud to recognize 10 holidays during the year, plus four floating holidays for you to use whenever you feel like you need another day away. That’s 14 paid days to reflect, remember, celebrate, or simply rest—all while getting paid.

Disability

Heal up

Foot injury on an icy sidewalk? Took a line drive at your kid’s little league game? Surgery planned in advance? No matter the reason for your illness or injury, short-term disability (STD) benefits allow you the time you need to heal without missing out on your pay. You receive 100% salary for the first eight weeks. After that, the amount of your STD benefit depends on how long you’ve been with Philips. If you’re still unable to work after 26 weeks, basic long-term disability may be available.

Caregiver Leave

Family first

Family members depend on each other. Caring for someone who relies on you is a labor of love—and a job all on its own. Take up to 10 paid days per year to care for your family member when you’re approved for a Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) leave. To further support you, contact Cariloop to be matched with a dedicated Care Coach who can relieve you from many of the demands of adult and elder caregiving. Get help vetting care options, researching insurance and financial questions, guiding long-term care plans and more at NO COST to you.

Sick and Wellbeing Leave

Prioritize self-care

The cold that lingers for weeks. The cough that keeps waking you up. A foreboding tickle in the back of your throat. Or maybe you’re just emotionally drained. Make time to care for yourself and take a sick day or two to rest and rebuild. At Philips, you get up to 56 hours each year of paid sick and well-being leave.
Family embracing with flowers.
Bereavement Leave

Grief is a process

Working through the pain of losing a loved one is difficult enough, without adding work into the mix. Take five days of paid bereavement leave following the loss of an immediate family member, including pregnancy loss, or two days for an extended family member. SupportLinc, the Philips employee assistance program, is also here to support you through it at NO COST.

Community stewardship

However, he recently learned that his father is ailing, mentally and physically. His siblings live out of state, so Xavier will be responsible for caregiving duties.

What’s more: Xavier has a planned knee replacement surgery coming up. Recovering from surgery while arranging care for his dad is challenging.

You're juggling a lot, Xavier. Here’s how Philips can help.

Paid Time Off

Time Off? No Big Deal.

First step? Xavier can take up to 10 days of 100%-paid caregiver leave as long as he’s eligible through Philips Paid Caregiver Leave Program. This gives him time to care for his dad and assess what his long-term needs are. Learn more about Paid Time Off.
Care Coaching

Help with Aging Parents

Cariloop is a great resource for Xavier before, during, and after his caregiver leave and is available at no cost. Cariloop connects Xavier to an experienced, licensed care coach to help him manage the next steps of his father’s care. His care coach will help him navigate the healthcare system to find personalized resources and solutions that support his father’s long-term needs. In fact, Xavier can also use Cariloop to support his own recovery.
Navigating Healthcare

Plan for Your Best Care

Xavier called the Health Advocate clinical team to ask for help finding and scheduling his knee replacement surgery within the Blue Cross Blue Shield provider network. They delivered in spades. Health Advocate arranged an appointment with a Center of Excellence that specializes in knee and joint care where he’ll be treated by the best knee doctors around. 
Second Opinion Services

Hear Another Perspective

A fan of hospital TV shows, Xavier knows that the first diagnosis or treatment plan isn’t always the right one. Good doctors arrive at different conclusions in the real world too. So, Xavier signs up for 2nd.MD to get a free second opinion on his knee surgery. Within a few days, he connected with a top specialist to review his diagnosis, treatment plan, and next steps. 2nd.MD didn’t change Xavier’s need for surgery. But it did put his mind at ease that he was making the right decision.
Tax Savings

Tax Savings on the Surgery

It’s weird to think of a major medical procedure leading to a discussion of reducing taxable income. But, when Xavier talked with Health Advocate about his surgery, he mentioned he enrolled in the Health Care Flexible Savings Account (FSA) and has been saving money in it. Health Advocate reminded him he can use the money in his account for eligible expenses and walked him through what those are. Plus, because he's been saving money in an FSA account, Xavier reduces his taxable income!
Joint and Muscle Care

A Stronger Recovery

As a Blue Cross Blue Shield member, Xavier can sign up for Hinge Health at no cost. Before his surgery, he’ll use the app for exercises to strengthen his knee and manage his pain. Then, during his post-operative recovery, he can find digital physical therapy exercises to quicken his recovery.
Disability Insurance

Paycheck Protection

While Xavier is recovering from his surgery, he doesn’t need to worry about getting paid. Since Xavier has been at Philips for more than 10 years, he’s eligible for up to 26 weeks of short-term disability pay at 100% of his annual base salary. If Xavier’s recovery goes sideways and he needs more than 26 weeks to recover, he may be eligible for long-term disability. That would cover at least 50% of his annual salary on a monthly basis beginning on the 27th week.
Employee Assistance Program

Stress Less

Naturally, Xavier is overwhelmed. While his family is supportive, he really needs someone to talk to. A colleague reminds him about SupportLinc. It gives him 24/7 access to licensed clinicians by phone and for short-term counseling sessions to talk about what he’s going through. SupportLinc also has additional resources like referrals for pet care, help with sleep, and financial and legal consultations, so Xavier realizes he has a lot of support for different needs in his life.

Injury, Illness, and Hospital Care

When it’s bigger than bandages

Health care costs are high and increasing each year. Voluntary benefits provide a cash benefit to help cover expenses in addition to what is covered through Philips health insurance. Accidental injury insurance pays a benefit if you break a bone, need stitches, receive physical therapy and more. Critical illness insurance is for serious medical conditions like cancer. Hospital care insurance provides a cash payment if you are hospitalized for a covered illness or injury or for childbirth. You can enroll in one, two or all three options!

Home and Auto Insurance

Big-ticket protection

Here’s a quick tip: If you have to pay property taxes on it, you should insure it. Insure your home and vehicle with group discounted rates and see even more savings when you bundle your policies. Renter’s insurance is also available, and if you have a motor home, vacation home or boat, you can cover those, too. Employees can request quotes from Farmers GroupSelectSM, Travelers and Liberty Mutual® Insurance.

Identity Protection

You, who?

There’s only one of you (even if you’re a twin), so don’t let someone pretending to be you finance a life of luxury on your dime. Identity protection from Allstate guards you and your family members against identity thieves by monitoring suspicious internet behavior, public records and financial and credit activity. If a fraudster slips through, Allstate helps to restore your credit and reimburses you for up to $1 million in losses ($2 million for families). Choose between two plans to protect yourself and your family.

The ARAG legal plan gives you access to convenient discounted legal representation, with two plans to choose from.
