36 WAIVING HEALTH INSURANCE If you waive health insurance coverage, the employer contribution towards a HRA will be $175 per month for a total of $2100 for the year Unused money carries to the next year if you continue to Waive coverage from year to year If employee is hired with an effective date later that January 1, 2011 the $175 per month for the waiver will be prorated.  Example: Employee is hired on March 1 st, with an effective date of May 1 st on their waiver with an HRA. The employee would receive $175 per month beginning with the month of May

37 HEALTH REIMBURSEMENT ACCOUNTS (HRAS) Who is NOT eligible for HRAs  If employee or spouse has a Health Savings Account (HSA), you are NOT allowed to have an HRA. If you have an HSA and elect our HRA, you will be in violation of federal tax law.  A retiree who has gone back to work and elects coverage under the retirement system  Retirees  Spouse of a hazardous duty retiree

38 A WORD ABOUT MEDICARE & HRAS If you are an active employee over the age of 65… The KCTCS Health Plan is considered primary over Medicare You do not need to sign up for Medicare Part “B” until you cease employment. You will then enroll for this coverage under a “Special Enrollment Period” NOT The prescription drug plan offered through the KEHP is considered “Creditable Coverage”. You do NOT need to sign up for a Medicare part “D” plan If you are over age 65 and enrolled in Medicare and choose to waive health insurance through the KEHP, your waiver HRA will be your primary health plan over Medicare  Bills must be paid through your HRA before submitted to Medicare

39 HRA Two Separate Health Reimbursement Accounts Embedded HRA  Offered in conjunction with Commonwealth Maximum Choice  Funded with employer money only  Administered by Humana and the DEI Stand alone HRA  Available only to employees who waive health insurance  Funded with employer money only  Administered by Chard-Snyder (PCA) (Humana materials may refer to an HRA as a Personal Care Account (PCA)

40 FSA VS. HRA In addition to the HRA, an employee may fund a Health Care FSA to reimburse unpaid qualified medical expenses ( ex: Deductible, Co-pays, Co-insurance, Dental, Vision, etc.)  May fund with employee contributions  If waiving or have single health coverage, may use all or part of the $50 Benefit for funding only plan covered expenses For Commonwealth Maximum Choice Plan participants, when using your HRA, only plan covered expenses will count towards the plan deductible and out-of-pocket maximum ( Excludes: Dental, Vision)

41 FSA VS. HRA If you have both a Health Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA) and a Health Reimbursement Account (HRA), reimbursement will come from your FSA account balance first.  The FSA balance is forfeited at the end of the plan year (12/31/10) and 2 ½ month grace period (3/15/11).  The HRA balance will roll-over from year to year as long as you remain a waiver or enrolled in the Commonwealth Maximum Choice Plan.  Will not roll-over if you change your plan selection. NOTE: If you use the Benny PrePaid Benefits Card from Chard- Snyder, reimbursements will automatically be from your FSA first until that annual election amount is depleted. Then, reimbursement will be from your HRA NOTE: If you use the Benny PrePaid Benefits Card from Chard- Snyder, reimbursements will automatically be from your FSA first until that annual election amount is depleted. Then, reimbursement will be from your HRA.

42 USING BENNY PRE-PAID BENEFITS CARD FOR HRA AT PHARMACIES – “WAIVERS” ONLY If employee is covered under spouse’s health plan, they would use that health insurance card first. Employee would then use Chard-Snyder Benny card for any co-pay or coinsurance amounts due.

43 SAVE YOUR RECEIPTS: HRA AND FSA REIMBURSED EXPENSES It is important to save all itemized receipts The IRS requires proof (substantiation) that expenses are qualified under your plan’s benefits For the Commonwealth Maximum Choice Plan -Humana automatically verifies transactions, in most cases, as they occur. However, Humana may ask members to submit receipts for verification of an expense For Waivers, Chard-Snyder automatically verifies transactions, in most cases, as they occur. However, Chard-Snyder may ask members to submit receipts for verification of an expense Always save all receipts and explanation of benefits (EOB) in case you are contacted to verify an expense that could not be matched automatically If a refund is needed: Card should be credited by the provider If providers refund the member directly the member will be required to refund the card (per IRS guidelines)
