11. Health Management Plan There are certain preventive benefits covered by the Affordable Health Care Act that must be covered at 100% with no deductible. (I.E. HIV Counseling, Tobacco Cessation Counseling. ) www.bcbsal.com/preventiveservices. www.bcbsal.com/preventiveservices Hospital per diem charge is covered at 100% once the calendar year deductible is met.

12. Health Management Program The Health Reimbursement Account has a rollover feature

13. Health Management Program Any funds left in your HRA at the end of the calendar year will roll over into the next year up to a maximum of the annual contribution.

14. COMPARISONS The following comparisons are not to be used as a cost estimator but as a general guideline on costs. Your expenses might be more or less based on how much you have in your HRA, where you are at with your deductible, or whether you are seeing an in or out of network provider.

23. COVERING OUT OF POCKET COSTS No matter which Option you select. The next question you have should be - What can I do to set money aside to cover out of pocket expenses?

24. Health Management Program Set aside funds in your Medical Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) to cover out of pocket expenses.

25. Medical FSA Account Features Employee can contribute up to $2,500 annually. Can be used for out of pocket medical expenses (your benefits booklet has a detailed listing of eligible expenses). Can be used for out of pocket dental and vision expenses. (your benefits booklet has a detailed listing of eligible expenses). Rollover feature of up to $500 maximum into next FSA Plan Year Employee does not have to be enrolled in the City’s health plan to participate.

26. FSA RULE OF THUMB For every $5 you contribute to your FSA account it will only cost you $4 due to the tax savings

27. FSA TAX SAVINGS EXAMPLE Without FSAWith FSA Annual Income$30,000 Pre tax Contribution$0($28,000) Taxable Income$30,000$28,000 Tax Rate 28%($8,400)($7,840) After Tax Expenses($2,000)$0 Net Income$19,600$20,160 ANNUAL TAX SAVINGS WITH FSA : $560

28. How the FSA and HRA work together Flexible Spending Account & Health Reimbursement Account Use the FSA funds to reach the Employee Threshold Deductible: – Single coverage: $250 – Family coverage: $500 Use the HRA funds to reach the Employee Remaining Deductible: - Single coverage: $500 - Family coverage: $1,000 Use any remaining FSA funds to continue to cover unreimbursed medical expenses (co-insurance)

29. How the FSA/HRA card works with the HMP Example One – Physician Visit – The threshold amount is not met by the employee. Pay with the FSA/HRA card and it will use any available FSA funds to pay for the visit or you will have to pay with Personal means ( Credit card, Debit card, Check or Cash) If you do not enroll in the Flexible Spending Account, YOU MUST pay for the expenses out-of-pocket until the threshold has been met!

30. How the FSA/HRA card works with the HMP Example Two – Physician Visit – The threshold amount has been met by the employee. Pay with the FSA/HRA card and it will use any available HRA funds to pay for the visit. If no HRA funds are available you will have to pay with Personal means (Credit card, Debit card, Check or Cash or FSA Card)
