At Laerdal Labs DC, people are at the heart of what we do. Our mission would
be impossible without our committed, hardworking team. In return, we offer a comprehensive suite of
benefits. You and your family’s well-being comes first.
You can view our full benefits guide here.
Partner - CareFirst: Providing comprehensive and quality medical
coverage at a reasonable cost is a challenge for all
employers. We meet this challenge by providing our team members with two plan options from CareFirst
that include prescription drug coverage.
Preventive care is covered in-network at 100% (no deductible or copay) for those services that are
generally
linked to designated routine wellness exams and screenings. Examples of preventive care services
include:
Partner - Guardian: Dental coverage is a key component of your overall
health and wellness. Laerdal Labs offers you access to a
dental plan through Guardian.
The dental plan through Guardian covers the following main expenses:
Maximum Rollover Benefit: The Guardian will roll over a portion of the unused dental maximum into a personal Maximum Rollover Account, which can be used in future years if the plan’s annual maximum is reached. As an added advantage, additional money is rolled over if in-network dentists are used exclusively during the benefit period.
Partner - Guardian: Laerdal Labs offers you access to vision coverage
through Guardian. The Guardian vision plan features the
money-saving eye care network of VSP Choice.
Eyeconic is a VSP-owned company, and the only online retailer that allows you to
shop for glasses, sunglasses, and contacts using your vision benefits. By connecting your benefits,
you can see the actual cost of eyewear and contacts with your benefits applied.
Eyeconic carries a large selection of eyewear and contacts with free shipping and returns on all
orders. You can receive a complimentary frame adjustment from a VSP network doctor who participates
in Eyeconic. Be sure to check their prices compared to a retail eyewear shop for savings!
Partner - Merrill Lynch: To help you prepare for the future, we sponsor
a 401(K) retirement plan administered by Merrill Lynch as a part of our benefits package. Employees
who are at least 18 years of age become eligible to participate in the plan upon their date of hire.
401(k) Key Features:
The Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) help you save money by allowing you to pay for qualified healthcare and dependent care expenses on a pre-tax basis. You decide how much money to put aside annually up to the IRS maximums. Once you elect in this benefit, you will not be able to make changes to your election amount unless you have a qualifying life event.

Retirement Age (SSNRA) or a schedule depending on your age at the time you’re disabled. The cost of
the long-term disability benefit will be added to your salary and the premiums paid on a post-tax
basis. This allows for the disability payment to be a tax-free payment.
