What s changing? We are pleased to share that all plans continue to be available with no significant changes and only the 2% increase we promised last year. This is identical to our 2015 increase and compares favorably to U.S. market increases of 4 6.5% estimated for 2016. Additional changes that may apply to you, depending on your plan or family needs, are listed here for your quick reference. Cigna and Anthem All High Deductible Health Plans (HDHPs) paycheck deductions remain at zero; annual deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums increase 2%. Cigna Primary Care Plus paycheck deductions increase 2%. Certain compound medications are no longer covered. HMO Paycheck deductions increase 2%. 2016 is the final year Fallon Community and Group Health Cooperative HMOs will be offered due to low enrollment; coverage continues through December 31, 2016. You may change plans during this annual enrollment or during 2017 Annual Enrollment. Health Savings Accounts (HSAs)* Cigna HDHP current HSA accounts with JPMorgan Chase Bank will be moved to HealthEquity through a transition process communicated via email to those impacted. 2016 HSA maximum contribution for family coverage increases from $6,650 to $6,750. *HSA is not an Intel-sponsored benefit and is not an ERISA welfare benefit plan. Additional Benefits Anyone who enrolls in the VSP Vision Plus Plan receives the added benefit of laser vision correction (Lasik) coverage. The benefit is a $2,000 allowance per lifetime per covered member. Intel s voluntary short-term disability (STD) plan increases from.8% of earnings (annual maximum contribution of $700) to 1% of earnings (annual maximum contribution of $900). OUR BENEFITS GROW WITH YOUR FAMILY Along with introducing the new Bonding Leave in January, Intel strives to improve benefits that help you and your growing family. While details in the Family section of Circuit My Benefits & Career tab highlight even more of these valuable benefits, here are two key changes we believe will meet the needs of our Intel families in 2016: Adoption reimbursement increases to $15,000 per adoption (from $5,000). The value is even greater by removing the benefit lifetime cap and expanding the list of eligible reimbursements to include expenses associated with surrogacy and adoption of spouse s existing child. The fertility lifetime maximum increases to $40,000 (from $10,000) for medical services and $20,000 (from $5,000) for prescription drugs with all plans, except for HMOs. This includes a variety of new conception services for employees wishing to expand their families.
