12 Introducing the HDHP Plan Combines a high-deductible health plan that allows you the option to open a health savings account (HSA) High-deductible health Plan 100% network preventive care Optional health Annual savings deductible account (HSA) Annual outof-pocket protection Personal support and messages, health coaches 12
13 What is a health savings account (HSA)? You can open and fund the HSA to pay the plan deductible and other qualified health care costs or you can let your account grow. HSA It s yours even if you switch jobs or plans Triple tax savings Pay for today s $$ or save for tomorrow s Use for qualified expenses not covered by the plan Use it for retirement, investing* HSAs are designed to help you save and pay for your health care 13
14 What you should know about the HSA An HSA is not health insurance Used to pay/reimburse qualified expenses Each covered individual can open an HSA No use it or lose it requirement HSA is owned by you 14
15 HSA eligibility requirements You may be eligible to open an HSA if: You are not covered by any other non-high deductible health plan, such as a spouse s plan You are not enrolled in Medicare You do not receive health benefits under TRICARE You have not received Veterans Administration (VA) benefits within the past three months You cannot be claimed as a dependent on another person s tax return You cannot be covered by a health care FSA or HRA 15
16 Annual HSA contribution limits Annual contribution limits are set by the IRS Annual Contribution Rules 2012: $3,100 for individuals & $6,250 for families Additional Funding Those 55 years of age or higher, but not entitled to Medicare benefits, can fund an additional $1,000/year catch-up contribution! Amount of Funding Contributions above the annual limit are subject to income taxes and a 20% penalty. 16
17 How you can use the HSA Medical plan deductibles and coinsurance Pharmacy, dental, vision care services Use HSA dollars to pay for medical expenses for your spouse or dependents Any money you take out of your HSA for eligible medical expenses is federal income-tax free 17
18 How you can use the HSA Other qualified expenses 1 Coverage while receiving unemployment benefits 4 Medicare premiums and out-of-pocket expenses 2 COBRA continuation coverage 3 Eligible longterm care 18
19 How the HSA Plan Works HSA Payment Process Present ID card to network doctor Doctor sends claim to UnitedHealthcare UnitedHealthcare applies network discount and notifies doctor of amount you may owe. Doctor bills you for payment 1. You can use your HSA to pay 2. Or you can choose to pay another way (cash, credit card) and reimburse yourself later When you have claim activity, you will receive a Health Statement. TIP: Use your HSA to help you pay qualified expenses 19
20 Explanation of Benefits (EOBs) You may notice some changes on your EOBs beginning late You will see more information on: Appeal rights Consumer assistance programs What s more the EOB has been designed for easier readability. We encourage you to access your EOBs online at myuhc.com. 20
21 How the HSA Helps You Save The money Steve puts into his HSA is federal income tax-deductible. Any money Steve withdraws from his HSA to pay for qualified medical expenses is withdrawn federal income tax-free. Steve may earn interest on his account, and it is not taxable. The amount not spent during this year carries over for use in future years. 21
22 How Much Did Steve Save? In 2012, Steve will deposit $6,250 into his HSA, the maximum contribution for family coverage. Steve will withdraw $3,000 to pay for qualified health care expenses for him and his family. Steve earns interest on his account. Steve s federal and state income tax savings and FICA on his contributions for the year are $2,478. Steve will not have to pay income taxes on the $3,000 as long as he uses it to pay for qualified expenses. Steve does not have to pay federal income taxes on his interest. 4 Steve will carry over $3,250 HSA dollars (contributions expenses + account earnings) into. With a traditional plan, Steve wouldn t have this carryover option, which helps him save for the future. 22
23 Comparing an HSA with an FSA HSA Owned by employee Funded by the employee and employer Funds automatically rollover to next plan year Qualified expenses determined by IRS and employer Automatic enrollment Limited-Purpose FSA Owned by employer Funded by the employee All funds must be used by the end of the plan year or grace period Only & dental are reimbursable Must enroll each year enrollment 23
24 Common HSA Questions 1 How do I enroll? Enroll during your Open Enrollment period Check your employer benefit information for details 2 Can I take the funds in my HSA with me if I leave the company? Yes. Funds belong to you even if you leave your job, change health plans or retire. 3 4 Can others contribute to my HSA? How do I access the funds in my account? Yes. Anyone can contribute to your HSA. Keep in mind that annual contribution limits above what is allowed are subject to income taxes and a penalty. Use your HSA debit card Pay by check, cash or credit care and reimburse yourself later from your HSA 24
