Retirement Contributions

The Medical Center is financially secure, and assists its physicians in building a secure financial future. An active Retirement Committee oversees investments in our federally qualified 401-K and Profit-sharing Programs. The Profit-sharing program has been funded at 9.25% of the physician’s annual compensation in recent years.

The 401-K program includes a company match of 3% of annual compensation after the first year of participation. The combination, at the current IRS salary limit of $220,000, results in an annual company contribution of $26,000. Take a look at more detailed information on the value of retirement contributions.

The Medical Center also pays for the physician’s Washington State Medical license, County Medical Society dues, AMA dues, Medical Staff dues, and DEA license fees. For physicians desiring to pay qualified expenses with before tax dollars, a Section 125 Flexible Benefits plan is also available.

The total annual value of physician benefits is approximately $70,000. Considering that financial benefit combined with eleven weeks of vacation and a very competitive salary, Wenatchee Valley Medical Center represents an outstanding employment opportunity.
