Health Savings Account (HSA) with Limited Purpose Flexible Spending Account (LPFSA) University of Rochester Feb 10 th and 11 th, 2016

What is a Health Savings Account (HSA)? An HSA is a health care savings account that you can contribute pre-tax money to from your paycheck. You can also make post-tax contributions. You need to be enrolled in a qualified high deductible health plan (HDHP) in order to contribute to an HSA. You can use this account to pay for qualified health care expenses, which includes dental and vision, for you, your spouse and your tax dependents. You can also use an HSA to save for future health expenses. Your employer sponsored HSA is administered by PayFlex. 1

Key advantages of an HSA Contributions are tax-free* and may earn interest. Interest earnings and withdrawals are tax-free when used for qualified health care expenses. You can invest your HSA dollars in a variety of mutual funds. No annual use it or lose it rule. Your balance will roll over into the next year. The HSA is yours. If you change plans, retire or change jobs, the HSA funds stay with you. You can name a beneficiary to inherit your account. *State taxes apply to HSA contributions and earnings in AL, CA and NJ. 4

Customer Identification Process (CIP) To open an account, you ll need the following information: Name Social Security Number Date of Birth Address Process: PayFlex begins Customer Identification Process (CIP) within one business day from receipt of eligibility file Once member passes CIP, HSA is established and contributions can be deposited The established date is generally the 1 st of the following month in which we receive your enrollment If you have not passed CIP by that date then the HSA will be established as of the date you pass CIP 5

Qualified health care expenses for HSAs Common eligible expenses include: Amounts applied to your deductible, coinsurance and prescription copays Prescription drugs Glasses, LASIK eye surgery and contact lenses Dental and orthodontic services Chiropractic and acupuncture treatments Certain fertility enhancement services, including IVF Medicare premiums during retirement COBRA premium payments View a complete list of common eligible expenses on payflex.com, your member portal Note: You can also choose to save your funds for future expenses. 6

HSA Contributions Each year, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) sets maximum contribution limits. HSA Maximum Contribution 2016 Single coverage $3,350 Family coverage $6,750 These limits include all contributions made to your HSA. Note: HSA transfers from another HSA and catch up contributions don't apply. You can contribute up to the maximum allowable limit on a pre-tax basis through payroll deduction. You can make a one-time transfer from your IRA. This transfer amount will not be taxed. This amount counts toward your HSA contribution limit for the year. If you have an HSA somewhere else, you can transfer those funds to your new HSA. If you re age 55 or older, you can contribute up to another $1,000 annually. You can also make these contributions on a pre-tax basis through payroll deduction. 7

A few HSA rules to think about You need to be enrolled in a qualified high deductible health plan. You can t have other health coverage not allowed by the IRS. See IRS Publication 969 for a list of allowable insurance coverage. You or your spouse can t have a general-purpose health care flexible spending account or health reimbursement account. You can t be enrolled in benefits under your spouse s plan or other plan that s not a high deductible health plan. You can t be claimed as a dependent on another person's tax return. You can t have Medicare. There are tax penalties associated with excess contributions and/or spending money on non-qualified health care expenses. 8

A few HSA rules to think about Prior to 1/1/2016 Veterans who have received medical benefits from the Veterans Administration (VA) at any time during the previous three months were not HSA eligible. (Effective 1/1/2016) Surface Transportation and Veterans Health Care Choice Improvement Act The Surface Transportation Act has amended the Code to provide that, effective for months beginning after December 31, 2015, an individual will no longer fail to be an HSA-eligible individual for purposes of making and receiving contributions to an HSA for any period merely because the individual receives VA medical benefits for a service-connected disability. PayFlex does not track to this level of eligibility. The member would be responsible for determining their eligibility. PayFlex provides eligibility information on our website, marketing materials and Road Rules Manual. Business Areas will need to review to determine which items may need to be updated and if the creation of talking points for CSRs and AMs is necessary. 9

How to use your HSA funds

How to use your HSA funds Once funds are available in your account, you can: Use the PayFlex Card, your account debit card, to pay for eligible expenses. Pay for an eligible expense out of pocket. Then pay yourself back from your HSA. (i.e., Make a Withdrawal feature) Use online bill payment to pay your provider directly from your HSA. (i.e., Make a Payment feature) Note: If you use HSA funds for ineligible expenses, you ll need to pay income taxes on that amount. You ll also have to pay a 20% penalty tax. If you re age 65 or older or disabled at the time of this withdrawal, you won t have to pay the penalty tax, however you ll still be responsible to pay the income taxes. Funds can only be used for claims incurred after your HSA is opened 11

The PayFlex Card, your account debit card The PayFlex Card makes it easy for you to spend the money in your HSA How does the card work? You can use the card as debit or credit. If you use the card as debit, you ll need a PIN to complete the transaction. Current card holders can create a PIN by calling Card Services at 1-888-999-0121. New card holders will be a assigned a PIN when they receive their card. After you swipe the card, your expense will be taken out of your account if you have funds available. Fee is assessed only if account is overdrawn. Where can I use the card?* Physician and dentist offices, vision care providers, and hospitals Grocery stores, discount stores, web-based merchants Drug stores, retail pharmacies, and family owned businesses *In order for the card to work, a merchant needs to have a health care merchant category code or an IRS approved inventory control system. They also need to accept MasterCard. MasterCard is a registered trademark of MasterCard International Incorporated. 12

Important reminders You can use the card to pay for eligible expenses. Save all receipts and Explanation of Benefits (EOB) in case of a tax audit. If you don t have enough funds available in your account, the card will be denied. If you already have a PayFlex Card that has not expired, continue to use this same card. You can order a card online for your spouse or tax dependent at no cost. From the PayFlex member portal website, you can: View your account balance Review card transaction history View the list of common eligible expense items 13

HSA investment options The funds in your HSA cash account are FDIC-insured. Those funds also earn interest. Once you have at least $1,000 in your HSA you can open an investment account. There are a variety of mutual funds available. There are no transfer or trading fees and no minimum investment amount per trade request. Mutual funds and investments are not FDIC-insured. Invested funds are subject to risks, including changes in value and the possible loss of the amount you invested. Funds in your investment account can t be used to pay for eligible health care expenses. However, contributions can be transferred back to your HSA at any time. By transferring funds into an HSA investment account you can potentially benefit from capital appreciation in the value of mutual fund holdings. However, you will also be exposed to a number of risks, including the loss of principal, and you should always read the prospectuses for the mutual funds you intend on purchasing to familiarize yourself with these risks. 14

Tax Reporting There are a number of required tax forms for HSA reporting. Form 1099-SA: reports all account distributions. A distribution from your HSA for a qualified expense is not taxable. Produced by PayFlex and mailed in January. Form 5498-SA: reports all contributions, both employer and employee, and earned interest. The individual has until April 15* to contribute for the tax year.

Limited Purpose Flexible Spending Account (LPFSA) Aetna Consumer Financial Solutions products are administered by PayFlex Systems USA, Inc. ( PayFlex ), an affiliate of Aetna Life Insurance Company ( Aetna ). PayFlex s robust account tools, accessible through your Aetna Navigator secure member website, make it easy for you to manage your tax-advantaged accounts.

Limited Purpose Flexible Spending Account You can enroll in an LPFSA if you have a qualified high-deductible health plan with a health savings account (HSA). You can use an LPFSA to pay for eligible out-of-pocket medical, dental and vision expenses. Expenses could include: Medical coinsurance expenses after you meet your deductible (expenses applied to your deductible are not eligible) Dental and orthodontia care; like fillings, X-rays and braces Vision care, including eyeglasses, contact lenses and LASIK surgery The IRS annual maximum contribution amount is $2,550. Benefits of an LPFSA An LPFSA helps you save money on taxes for dental and vision expenses. It also helps you save your HSA funds for other expenses, including saving funds for the future. The information describes the Limited Purpose Flexible Spending Account in general terms. Eligible expenses may vary from employer to employer. In case of a conflict between your plan documents and the information in this material, the plan documents will govern. Please refer to your employer s Summary Plan Description ( SPD ) for more information about your covered benefits. 21

How to use your LPFSA funds Request reimbursement If you pay for eligible expenses with cash, check or a personal credit card, you can submit a claim online or through the PayFlex Mobile app. You can also fill out a paper claim form and fax or mail it to PayFlex. Note: Save all of your receipts and Explanations of Benefits (EOBs). When you submit a claim, you ll need to submit the EOB or receipt. 22

Enrolling in an LPFSA Things to think about: Review your dental and vision expenses from the last year and think about what you expect to spend this year. Decide how much of your salary to contribute (up to the IRS limit, or plan limit). Your employer will deduct your LPFSA contributions from your paycheck in equal amounts each pay period on a pretax basis. This helps lower your taxable income. Be sure to plan your contribution carefully. Use-it-or-lose-it Rule Unused funds over $500 left in your LPFSA at the end of the plan will be forfeited. As of 1/1/15, you are allowed to carry over $500 into the next calendar year. Grace period The grace period provides you with additional time after the end of the plan year to submit claims incurred for the prior year: April 30 th of the following year. 23
