9
Your health care needs are unique
Select from 2 health plan options
Both plans include:

IT’S GOOD TO HAVE OPTIONS
10
DeductibleThe amount you pay each year before your plan starts to pay
CopayA flat fee you pay for covered services like doctor visits
CoinsuranceYour share of health plan costs (a percentage of total cost) after meeting your deductible
Out-of-pocket maximumThe most you have to pay out-of-pocket each year for health care services
PremiumThe amount you pay to belong to a health plan
KEY TERMS
•Current plan option•Includes deductibles, copays and coinsurance
•Discounted services for using in-network providers
Current Option: Preferred Provider Organization (PPO)
12
• You pay a higher bi-weekly premium in the PPO option
• If you use the plan minimally, you could be paying more total out of pocket for this plan option
• Can’t take advantage of increased tax savings with HSA
• You have a lower deductible to meet before co-insurance applies
• Flat $ copays apply for Rx & doctor’s visits; you know your cost
PPO Plan Option
How it works:• You pay a copay for in-network office visits and prescriptions
without meeting a deductible• After you meet your deductible you pay a percentage of the cost
for all other covered services until you reach the annual out of pocket maximum
• Empowers employees to make informed health care choices
• Employees become more aware of quality and cost issues
• Gives employees the opportunity to use a pre-tax Health Savings Account (HSA)
New Option: Consumer Driven Healthcare Plan with Health Savings Account
(CDHP/HSA)
• You have a higher deductible, so you pay the first $2,000 EE only/$4,000 family out of pocket (with the use of the HSA) until you meet your deductible
• You pay the full out-of-pocket discounted price for all services, including prescriptions, until you meet your deductible
• Your bi-weekly premium is lower than the PPO plan option; minimal users save $
• Funds you put into a pre-tax HSA account can be used during the current year or saved for future expenses regardless of where you work
• Your HSA contribution is not taxed, as long as you spend your funds on covered services
CDHP/HSA Option
How it works:- You pay the full in-network cost of an office visit and
prescription until you meet your deductible; use pre-tax HSA $ to pay for those costs
- You must meet a higher deductible before the plan pays its share of coinsurance for services such as hospitalization
How a CDHP & HSA work together:
Health Savings Account (HSA)• You can put money into your
HSA, pre-tax, to help pay for your covered medical expenses, like office visits, lab work and tests.
• HSA funds are accessed via the plan-provided debit card or online bill pay.
• Unused HSA funds roll over from year to year, as long as you remain enrolled in the HSA plan.
Annual Deductible
• You are responsible for paying an annual deductible before the plan begins to pay a percentage of your covered expenses.
• You can use the money in your HSA to help meet your deductible.
Major Medical
Coverage (coinsurance)• After you meet your annual
deductible, you pay a percentage of the cost of your covered expenses, called coinsurance.
• If you still have money in your HSA after you've met your annual deductible, you can use the funds to pay your share of coinsurance.
• Once you reach your annual coinsurance maximum, the plan pays 100 percent of any of your remaining covered expenses for the rest of the year.
CDHP/HSA Option
• Health Savings Accounts (HSA) are tax-advantaged interest bearing checking accounts
• The HSA money can be used to help pay the cost of out-of-pocket medical and prescription drug expenses or for long term investment purposes
• HSAs must be coupled with an HSA-compatible high deductible health plan (HDHP) in order to make contributions to the account
What is a Health Savings Account (HSA)
The IRS and the U.S. Department of the Treasury have specific rules on who can open an HSA.
You can open an HSA if you: • Are enrolled in the CDHP like the new option we’re offering
• Are not enrolled in Medicare• Are not claimed as a dependent on another individual’s tax return

Note: You cannot open an HSA if you have coverage under any other health plan that is not an HSA-compatible health plan.
