CONSUMER DRIVEN HEALTH PLAN (CDHP) York College of Pennsylvania - Consumer Driven Health Plan (CDHP) The York College of Pennsylvania CDHP combines a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) with a tax-favored savings account known as a Health Savings Account (HSA). Paired together, an HDHP and HSA empower you to be an involved healthcare consumer. Keep in mind that you can use your HSA dollars at the FSA Store. Please see FSA Store flier for additional details. HIGH DEDUCTIBLE HEALTH PLANS An HDHP provides coverage after you meet the Plan s deductible. To qualify as an HDHP under IRS guidelines, the plan must satisfy certain deductible and out-of-pocket amounts which may change each year. For 2015, a qualified HDHP has a single annual deductible of at least $1,300 ($2,600 for family) and annual out-of-pocket expenses (i.e., deductibles, coinsurance, copayments) not exceeding $6,450 single ($12,900 for family). Per Federal regulations, an HDHP cannot have a separate drug card or prescription benefit. Prescription charges are also subject to the Plan s deductible. Once the deductible is met, prescription benefits are subject to copays. Under the HDHP, services are covered at a higher percentage when in-network providers are used; however, you can use any licensed doctor or facility you choose and receive coverage at the out-ofnetwork levels. Refer to the enclosed HDHP medical plan summary for complete plan details including In- and Out-of-Network coverage, co-payments and coinsurance. THE COLLEGE S 2015 HDHP CONTAINS A $1,300 SINGLE AND A $2,600 FAMILY DEDUCTIBLE. HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT An HSA is a tax-advantaged health savings account for participants enrolled in an HDHP. You can use funds in an HSA to help pay for qualified expenses, or save for the future. You may contribute pre-tax funds up to the annual contribution limit (with an additional catch-up contribution for participants age 55 and over) regardless of your HDHP annual deductible amount. Once you reach age 65 or over and enroll in Medicare Part A or B, you can not continue to make contributions to an HSA; however, you can still make eligible withdrawals. For 2015, the annual contribution limit is $3,350 for single coverage / $6,650 for family coverage. The Catch-Up contribution limit is $1,000. Any funds in your account at the end of the plan year accumulate and earn non-taxable interest over the life of the account. The dollars in your HSA are your money both the College s contributions and your own and remain your money even if you leave the College. You can take your account with you if you retire or leave your employment. Remember, it is always your money. Additional information on banking options will be provided to you after you enroll. Please refer to How to Submit a Claim to your Health Savings Account (HSA) document for additional information on managing your account. HSA money rolls-over indefinitely so you do not need to make a withdrawal, however, you must be enrolled in an HDHP to contribute funds. Since HSA funds are your money, it is important to keep accurate records and carefully track your account activity to show that your distributions were used to reimburse qualified medical expenses only. THE COLLEGE WILL FUND YOUR 2015 HSA WITH AN AMOUNT OF $1,000 IF YOU ELECT SINGLE COVERAGE OR $2,000 IF YOU ELECT FAMILY COVERAGE. THE AMOUNT WILL BE DEPOSITED INTO YOUR HSA THE FIRST WEEK OF JULY, 2015 IF YOU JOIN THE PLAN MID-YEAR, THE COLLEGE WILL FUND YOUR ACCOUNT WITH THE APPROPRIATE PRO- RATED AMOUNT. YOU MAY MAKE ADDITIOL CONTRIBUTIONS TO YOUR HSA WHICH CANNOT EXCEED A COMBINED TOTAL OF $3,350 SINGLE OR $6,650 FAMILY FOR 2015.

HSA FACTS Money in the account belongs to the account holder. Funds earn interest tax free. Pay for qualified medical expenses with tax free dollars. Enrollment in an HDHP is required to make contributions to an HSA. Maximum allowed contribution to an HSA is permitted regardless of when enrollment in the plan begins; however, you must remain enrolled in an HDHP for the following 12 month period. Account balance is portable upon retirement or termination from the college. Funds not used for qualified expenses are taxed at the regular income tax rates (plus a 20% penalty if withdrawn before age 65). QUALIFIED HSA EXPENSES Only qualified healthcare expenses, as allowed by the IRS, are eligible for reimbursement from a Health Savings Account. Be aware that not all items listed as a qualified expense by the IRS are eligible for coverage under your company s benefits plan. The following listing provides a sampling of eligible reimbursement expenses under an HSA. Medical, dental, and vision deductibles and co-insurance amounts for yourself or qualified dependents Long-Term Care insurance premiums COBRA Continuation Health Coverage premiums Hearing aids Smoking cessation programs Wheelchairs Organ transplants Some Medicare premiums You can obtain additional information from the IRS concerning allowable expenses by calling 1-800-829-3676 to request a copy of IRS Publication 502 or by visiting the IRS website at www.irs.gov and clicking on More Forms and Publications. YOUR HDHP AND HSA WORKING TOGETHER Your HDHP and HSA pair together and are simple to use. It is a simple process: 1. Receive care under your HDHP 2. Pay for qualified expenses using funds from your HSA OR Pay out-of-pocket and let your HSA continue to gain interest Each time you receive medical care and incur a charge for the HDHP deductible, a co-payment or coinsurance amount, you choose whether to pay from your HSA or out-of-pocket. WHAT S THE CATCH? When something seems relatively simple to follow, provides comprehensive medical coverage for you and your family, and gives you a savings vehicle for current and future expenses, it can seem too good to be true. A Consumer-Driven Health Plan provides motivation for you and your family to live a healthy life and become involved in how you spend your healthcare dollars. In the end it is your involvement that leads to lower healthcare costs and unused money in your HSA that can grow over time. HSA ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS IN ORDER TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR AN HSA ACCOUNT, AN INDIVIDUAL MUST: BE COVERED BY A PLAN THAT QUALIFIES AS A "HIGH DEDUCTIBLE HEALTH PLAN (OUR PPOBLUE HIGH DEDUCTIBLE PLAN) AND NOT BE COVERED BY ANY OTHER HEALTHCARE PLAN NOT BE CLAIMED AS A DEPENDENT ON ANOTHER PERSON'S TAX RETURN NOT BE ENROLLED IN MEDICARE PART A OR B. HOWEVER, ACTIVE EMPLOYEES AGE 65 OR OVER CAN CONTRIBUTE TO AN HSA AS LONG AS THEY ARE NOT ENROLLED IN EITHER MEDICARE PART A OR PART B NOT BE ENROLLED IN TRICARE OR IN RECEIPT OF VA MEDICAL OR PRESCRIPTION BENEFITS WITHIN THE PREVIOUS THREE MONTHS.
