Recommended Strategy An HSA is... An account to help you meet your deductible and out of pocket maximum A great investment and savings vehicle Your Money Your Account You Own It You Manage It A Tax Savings Vehicle
29
Recommended Strategy With an HSA, you can... Receive a County contribution if you complete the wellness screening Decide how much you will contribute, if any Earn interest Opt to invest (once balance is over $2k) Take it with you when you leave employment Use it now, or save for later Relax... because the funds rollover year to year

Recommended Strategy Deductible $1,500 Employee Only $3,000 Family Amount paid by covered member before plan begins Member pays full cost of the negotiated rate, until deductible Can be paid from the HSA
31
Recommended Strategy 20% Co-Insurance Starts after deductible is met 20% to be paid by member each time a medical service is accessed 80% remaining is paid by the Medical Plan Can be paid from the HSA
32
Recommended Strategy Out of Pocket Maximum $3,000 for Employee only $6,000 for Family Designed to protect member in the event of a catastrophic illness (safety net) Once the out of pocket max is met, all services are covered at 100% by the Plan
