1 NationalONE VEBA Overview (includes comparison to NationalONE plan) July 2014 June 2015

2 The VEBA Trust The VEBA Plan is short for Voluntary Employee s Beneficiary Association Plan. This plan allows for you to manage your rising health care costs. You are given a high deductible health insurance plan with the financial assistance of a VEBA trust account. Your employer contributes money to the VEBA trust account to help with your health care expenses. As you use services, you can use the funds in your VEBA trust account to pay for these expenses. VEBA is a tax free trust in which your employer will be depositing contributions on your behalf to the VEBA Trustee, TrustPoint Deposits will be invested into a money market mutual fund to avoid risk, but allow for interest to be earned Enrollment in the VEBA is automatic; if you elect the high deductible medical plan, you are enrolled.

The contributions will be deposited in equal monthly installments. *Contribution amounts for all employees will be prorated and administered as applicable due to coverage changes, hire and termination dates.

4 How does the reimbursement process work? 1. You seek medical care and the provider submits the claim to HealthPartners. 2. HealthPartners applies discount, verifies deductible and sends you and the provider an Explanation of Benefits (EOB). 5. CHS processes claim, sends money to you and you pay your provider. 3. If deductible is not met, the provider sends you a bill. 4a. Complete a VEBA claim form, attach a copy of the EOB, send to CHS for processing. 4b. Use your Benny Card to pay bill, eliminates Step 5. Page 4

5 The VEBA Trust The plan year for the VEBA runs from July 1 through June 30, with a period of 90 days afterwards to submit expenses for that prior period called the run-out period. Money that remains in your account at the end of the plan year will be rolled into the next plan year after the run-out period has expired. Eligible expenses are the same as your Health Flexible Spending plan. Reimbursements are made by completing a claim form, attaching the proper documentation. Typically this is an Explanation of Benefit (EOB) and submitting to Corporate Health Systems (CHS). You can elect to receive your reimbursement funds either by check, directly deposited into your checking/saving account or may you elect a Benny Card. A Benny card allows you to pay for your eligible expenses using a debit card. The card deducts each payment directly from your VEBA account. There is a $18/plan year administrative fee. Page 5

6 The VEBA Trust The monthly administration fee is $3.09/month and will be deducted quarterly from the VEBA trust account. You can check your account information via the CHS website ( which contains your election, deposits, interest earned, claims, payments, summary plan descriptions, reimbursement schedule, claim forms and an extensive listing of eligible expenses. In the event you leave the District VEBA health plan with money in your account, your will be able to continue to submit claims for medical expenses until the balance is exhausted. In the event of the death of the participant with money in your account, your tax dependents will be able to continue to submit claims for medical expenses until the balance is exhausted. Page 6

14 Commonly Asked Questions What is HRA? HEALTH REIMBURSEMENT ARRANGEMENT ~Allows reimbursement of your un-reimbursed health, dental and optical expenses and is funded by your employer. You may also seek reimbursement for premiums for Medicare Part A and Part B, Medicare Supplement Plans and COBRA continuation. How do I enroll? You can enroll during your company s annual open enrollment period which is typically during the 1-2 months prior to your employer s Plan Anniversary Date (you will be notified with exact dates). The ONLY other opportunity you may have to make or change an election is if you experience a Family Status Change. How are the HRA rules determined? The IRS determines the rules and regulations for the HRA. All HRA s must meet IRS Revenue Rulings and IRS Notice and be in accordance with Sections 105 and 106 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and with Revenue Ruling (June 26, 2002). Where are the funds held? The funds are held in a VEBA 501(c) (a) trust account managed by Trust Point and invested in an interest earning money market account. Are my HRA expenses coordinated with my Flexible Spending Health Care account? Yes. If you participate in the Flexible Spending Health Care account, expenses must first be submitted and processed under the Flexible Spending Health Care account and those monies exhausted prior to reimbursement under the HRA account. When are HRA funds available to me for reimbursement? Once your Flexible Spending Health Care account is exhausted (if applicable), you can be reimbursed for money which your employer has already contributed to your HRA account. If your employer has not yet contributed an amount equal to your claim, Corporate Health Systems will reimburse you up to the amount contributed, pending the remaining amount until further contributions have been made. The remainder of the claim, up to the deposited amount, will be paid out automatically until the entire claimed amount has been reimbursed. How do I get information regarding my HRA Account? Go to to view your account s claim history, account balance and payment history. Claim forms can also be printed from the website. Your user ID and PIN number will be mailed to your home. Your account information can only be accessed with these codes. You can also contact your Corporate Health Systems Benefit Administrator. To view additional frequently asked questions please go to and open the LINKS tab on the home page. What happens to money I do not use by the end of the plan year? If you do not have claims that equal or exceed the amount of the annual contribution, your remaining funds will be moved to the next plan year and will be available to you for reimbursement after the plan run-out period has been exhausted. This summary is only an outline of general information. It is not a contract for coverage. Please refer to your summary plan description or certificate for detailed information

15 Commonly Asked Questions Continued Is there an alternative way to be reimbursed? Yes, the debit card is an alternative to traditional reimbursement methods. While it does not completely eliminate reimbursement claim forms, it can significantly reduce them. When used for expenses such as office visit and prescription co pays, which make up 55% of all claims, a claim form will not be required. You may be asked to provide documentation of the expense, if the expense cannot be auto-adjudicated. Simply swipe your card at an eligible location such as pharmacies, physician or dental offices and the funds are directly withdrawn from your HRA Account and auto-adjudicated eliminating all out of pocket expenses and reimbursement waiting periods. Corporate Health Systems may request documentation for claims paid using the debit card that cannot be autoadjudicated. Corporate Health Systems will request that you submit documentation to support your purchase via . You then submit your receipt and a copy of the to Corporate Health Systems and your claim will be processed without your completing a traditional reimbursement claim form. If you do not submit the required documentation, your debit card will be deactivated and the expense paid using the debit card will be deducted from your paycheck. It is important that you retain documentation for ALL claims, regardless of the reimbursement method. Where can I use my Debit Card? The IRS now requires that the Debit Card can only be used at health care providers who have a health care-related merchant category code (such as physicians, dentists, vision care offices, hospitals, and other medical care providers) or at grocery stores, discount stores and pharmacies who utilize an Inventory Information Approval System (IIAS). You may not use the Debit Card at any merchant, including pharmacies, that does not have a health care related merchant category code unless that merchant or pharmacy utilizes an IIAS. When utilizing an IIAS, the Debit Card may be used to purchase only those items identified on a list of eligible medical expenses maintained by the merchant. When purchasing eligible health care-related items AND ineligible non-health care-related items, the merchant will only accept the Debit Card as payment for the health care-related items. You must pay for the ineligible items with another form of payment (cash, personal credit or debit card, etc). In rare circumstances, purchases made at merchants utilizing an IIAS may fail to process appropriately. In those cases, you will be required to submit substantiating documentation as described below. You must maintain proper documentation for purchases made with your Debit Card. A list of merchants utilizing an IIAS is available in the LINKS tab on the home page online at Please note that some merchants, including Walgreens, have implemented a custom IIAS solution and do not appear on this list. Please remember to keep documentation for all purchases made with the Debit Card. Per IRS regulations, we may be required to request itemized receipts to verify the eligibility of purchases made with the card. Valid documentation of a purchase must include the dollar amount, date of service, name of provider, and a description of the purchased service or product. For over-the-counter health care items, the name of the product must be listed on the receipt. Any receipt that does not contain the detailed information described above is not acceptable. Credit card receipts are not acceptable. If the requested receipt is lost or otherwise unavailable, most providers can provide a detailed statement documenting HRA eligible purchases. Important point to remember: You cannot use your Debit Card at stores that do not participate in IIAS, even if you have used your Debit Card at these stores before. (Your transaction will be declined.) This summary is only an outline of general information. It is not a contract for coverage. Please refer to your summary plan description or certificate for detailed information.

16 Commonly Asked Questions continued: How do I submit a claim? To be reimbursable, the Participant must have incurred an eligible expense after his/her entry date into the plan. An expense is incurred when the Participant is provided with the care giving rise to the expense, not when the service is billed or paid. Reimbursement shall not be made for future projected expenses. Complete a Request for Reimbursement claim form and submit an ITEMIZED BILLINGS for each line you have filled out. Receipts must include the following information: Nature of the expense the specific service that was provided (not payment on accounts) Date of service when the service happened (not when the service was paid for) Person receiving service (can be an eligible dependent) Amount of the service Name of the provider clinic name and/or doctor s name and address If any of these requirements are not met, the line missing the documentation cannot be paid until the corrected portion is received. All other lines with correct documentation will be paid. The IRS regulates the requirements for documentation. All claims must be incurred during the plan year. Claims incurred outside of the plan year, before your enrollment date or after your participation terminates, will not be reimbursed.

26 A REMINDER ABOUT REIMBURSABLE HEALTH CARE EXPENSES See your Summary Plan Description for additional information. 1. You can use a Medical Reimbursement Account to get reimbursed for any eligible expenses not paid in full by another plan, or for any eligible expenses not covered by your health plan. An eligible expense must meet the following requirements: Must be directed or prescribed by a physician, except for eligible over-the-counter products. Must be directly related to a physical or mental condition. Expenses must be incurred on or after the effective date of the plan and while you are a participating employee. Expenses must be incurred for you, your spouse, or other person who qualifies as an eligible dependent for federal income tax purposes. 2. Examples of eligible expenses include: Deductibles (the part of covered expenses you pay before your health plan pays any benefits). Coinsurance amounts (the percent of covered expenses you must pay, if any, after the deductible requirement has been met). Dental expenses, such as, exams or other accepted services. Vision care expenses, such as, eye examinations and eyeglasses. Hearing care expenses, including hearing examinations and hearing aids. Routine physical examinations Prescription medications Over the counter medicines and products 3. You must furnish proof the expenses were incurred by attaching an itemized statement from the provider. If a statement is attached, please write the corresponding line number which the expense is listed (taken from column (1) on the front of the form). 4. HRA/VEBA Eligible Expenses (if applicable): Eligible expenses are subject to your employer s HRA/VEBA Plan Document. See the HRA/VEBA plan document for a list of eligible expenses as they may differ from those listed above. A REMINDER ABOUT REIMBURSABLE DAY CARE EXPENSES 1. In order for your day care expenses to qualify for reimbursement from the Day Care Expense Account, the following requirements must be met: If you are married, your spouse must be working for pay, attending school or seeking employment while you are at work. The children receiving day care must be under the age of 13 at the time the day care services are provided, or the person receiving care must be physically or mentally incapable of self care. The provider cannot be listed as a dependent on your federal income tax form, and, if the provider is your own child, must be at least 19 years of age. Expenses must be incurred on or after the effective date of the plan and after the date you become a plan participant. Under federal law, when you file your income tax return with the IRS you must also report the name, address, and taxpayer identification number of all providers of dependent day care services whose fees were reimbursed to you under this plan during the year. Failure to do so constitutes tax fraud unless the provider of these services is a 501(c) (3) tax-exempt organization. If you have questions on how this might affect your tax filing, refer them to your tax advisor. 2. If the amount of day care expense reimbursement you receive for a calendar year exceeds your earnings if you are single, or the earnings of the lower paid spouse if you are married, the difference must be reported as taxable income for the year. There are special rules if your spouse is a full time student or is physically or mentally incapable of self care. Again, see your tax or legal advisor. 3. You must furnish proof that the expenses were incurred either by having the provider complete the Certification of Provider Section of the form or by attaching an itemized statement from the provider. If a statement is attached, please write on that statement the line number (taken from column (1) from the front of the form) corresponding to that item of expense. 4. If there is not enough money in your Day Care Expense account to cover in full the eligible expenses listed on this form, you will be reimbursed up to the amount of your account balance. Additional reimbursements due you will be temporarily suspended. Suspended amounts will automatically be processed each time reimbursements are paid.
