Benefit Supplements
The cost of health, dental and vison insurance premiums is different between CHS/ Lake Norman and Duke. To help the Duke Health Lake Norman employees maintain a consistent take-home pay, a pay supplement will be offered to those employees who had CHS health insurance and who enroll in Duke health, dental or vision insurance. The supplements will continue until November 2025 (which will pay for December’s coverage).
