Providers can be found using the “Provider Look-Up” feature on the Hooray Health App or by going to myhoorayhealth.com/providers/
What if I am being hired into the client company where I am working but insurance doesn’t start right away? Once you start with the client company, you will have four (4) weeks where you can make direct payments to Hooray Health to continue coverage.

We highly encourage employees to sign up for direct deposit.

This saves time and helps us do what we can for the environment.

The Illinois Secure Choice program is a state-sponsored retirement program that provides a Roth Individual Retirement Arrangement (IRA) to employees who do not have access to a retirement savings plan through work. It provides a simple way to automatically save a part of each paycheck into your own IRA. The account stays with you if you change jobs and allows for a customizable savings rate and investment elections to fit your savings needs.
Once you receive notification from Illinois Secure Choice, you have three options:
1. Register – After you’ve set up your account, you can customize your savings and investment elections, add beneficiaries, make a withdrawal or manage your personal information at any time.
2. Do Nothing – If no action is taken, you will be automatically enrolled with the default savings and investment elections after 30 days.
3. Opt Out – If you do not want to participate in the program, you can opt out at any time online by filling out the opt-out form or calling the Client Service Team.
