Health Savings Accounts
Health Savings Accounts coverage information is provided by the carrier for general purposes only. For more information on this coverage, call the Benefit Center at 844-217-8221.
Health Savings Account (HSA) Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Health Savings Account (HSA)? An HSA is a tax-‐advantaged medical savings account available to taxpayers in the United States who are enrolled in a high deductible health plan (HDHP). This is not an option for someone who is not enrolled in a high deductible health plan or someone who is age 65 or older. The funds contributed to an HSA are not subject to federal income tax at the time of deposit.
What is a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP)? An HDHP is a health insurance plan with lower premiums and higher deductibles than a traditional health plan.
Why do I need to know this? Your medical plan option is a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) accompanied by a Health Savings Account (HSA).
What is the difference between an HSA and a Flexible Spending Account (FSA)? Unlike a flexible spending account (FSA), HSA funds roll over and accumulate year to year if not spent. HSAs are owned by the individual, which differentiates them from company-‐owned Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRA) that are an alternate tax-‐deductible source of funds paired with either HDHPs or standard health plans. HSA funds may currently be used to pay for qualified medical expenses at any time without federal tax liability or penalty. Withdrawals for non-‐medical expenses are treated very similarly to those in an individual retirement account (IRA) in that they may provide tax advantages if taken after retirement age, and they incur penalties if taken earlier.
Can I be enrolled into both the HSA and FSA plans? No, you cannot be enrolled into the HSA and the traditional FSA plan. However, you can use your existing HSA account for medical, dental, and vision expenses.
What are my options if I am age 65 (or over)? If you are age 65 or over, IRS regulations prevent you from enrolling into the HSA. However, you will be eligible to enroll into the traditional FSA plan.
Are there any eligibility requirements that would make me ineligible to enroll into the HSA plan? Yes, during the enrollment process you will be asked the following six questions to determine your eligibility to enroll into the HSA. If you can answer yes to any of these questions, you are not eligible to enroll into the HSA.
1. Are you currently enrolled in Medicare?2. Are you or your spouse enrolled in another medical plan that is not a high-‐deductible health plan?3. On January 1, will you or your spouse have a health care flexible spending account or have money left in a
health care flexible spending account?4. Will you be claimed as a dependent on another person's tax return this year? 5. Are you eligible for benefits through the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)?6. Do you receive health benefits under TRICARE (the health care program for active duty and retired
members of the uniformed services, their families and survivors)?
What are the maximum contribution amounts for the HSA? The IRS regulates the maximum contribution limits for HSA accounts. Below are the details for the upcoming and the full plan year.
2017 HSA Limits (Full Plan Year January 1 through December 31, 2017 • For Single Coverage - $3,400• For Family Coverage - $6,750
Will my district be funding any portion of my HSA? If you enroll into the HSA plan, your district may be funding a portion of your HSA election. The amount will be detailed on your confirmation statement, which you will receive in the mail once open enrollment ends.
Flexible Spending Accounts
Flexible Spending Accounts coverage information is provided by the carrier for general purposes only. For more information on this coverage, call the Benefit Center at 844-217-8221.

The primary advantage to enrolling in an IRS approved Flexible Spending plan is to reduce your taxable income. The secondary advantage is to help offset your eligible out-of-pocket expenses.
This plan, offered by your Employer, allows you to set aside PRE-TAX dollars for health and dependent care expenses that you would otherwise pay for with post-tax dollars. Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) are exempt from federal taxes, Social Security taxes (FICA), and in most cases state income taxes.
For example, if you incur a deductible expense or office visit co-payment you may be reimbursed for those expenses through a Healthcare Flexible Spending Account. This plan allows you the opportunity to save approximately 30% or more on the expenses you, your spouse, or your dependents already incur for health care. The same holds true for the Dependent Care Flexible Spending Plan. By setting aside pre-tax dollars in a Dependent Care Flexible Spending Plan, you can take advantage of paying for child care costs on a pre-tax basis.
The plan and process works like this:• You elect to participate in either or both the
health care or dependent care Flexible Spendingplan
• Through payroll deduction, you begin setting pre-tax dollars aside based on your annual election
• You incur an expense that qualifies forreimbursement
You may either:• Use your Benefits MasterCard for the purchase, if
the merchant accepts the card, or• Pay out-of-pocket and submit a claim for
reimbursement
Remember, the funds from that account were never taxed; that is how you will save approximately 30% or more on your health and/or dependent care expenses!
The information in this packet is a brief overview of Flexible Spending plans and is in no way meant to guarantee benefits. More detailed information regarding both the health and dependent care reimbursement plans can be found online at www.plansource.com.

Health Care Flexible Spending Plan
Save potentially 30% or more on your out-of-pocket health care
expenses
Healthcare Flexible Spending PlanA Flexible Spending Account, or FSA, lets you set aside pre-tax money from your paychecks to spend on out-of-pocket healthcare expenses (i.e. co-pays, deductibles, over-the-counter items, etc.) that your insurance plans do not cover in full or are ineligible under the plans. Money that goes into an FSA is pre-tax, so you can save as much as 30% of each dollar you put into your FSA, as long as you spend the money on qualified health costs for you, your spouse or eligible dependents. Whether or not you are enrolled in the medical insurance plan through your employer, you are eligible for the FSA.

FSA Eligible Medical Care Expenses 2017Healthcare Flexible Spending Plan. Medical and dental expenses that qualify as expenses for medical care under IRS rules generally qualify as Eligible Expenses for reimbursement under the Plan. Those may take the form of co-pays, deductibles, and medical expenses not covered by other insurance.

“Preventive care” includes periodic health examinations (e.g., annual physicals, routine prenatal and well-child care), immunizations, tobacco cessation and obesity weight-loss programs, and screening services that are not for the treatment of an existing illness, injury, or condition. Preventive care also includes treatment of a related condition during the preventive care service or screening.

Dependent Care Flexible Spending plans are designed to help you save money on the child care expenses you and your spouse (if applicable) incur during the year. Child care expenses may include day care, nursery school costs, or after-school programs. This plan can also be used for expenses incurred in the care of elderly parents, a disabled spouse or a disabled child. Please note, the Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account is not for dependent medical expenses; this account is specifically for the care of your child or dependent while you and/or your spouse are at work or attending school.

You must also meet one of the following requirements for eligibility:• Your spouse is working or looking for employment• You are a single parent or guardian• At a time when you are employed, your spouse is a

Health Care Reform and Flexible Spending Accounts Changes to Over-the-counter Eligibility for ReimbursementIn March 2010, President Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively “the Act”). The Act includes a number of modifications to employee benefit programs. One provision that affected employee participants beginning January 1, 2011 was the requirement for over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, medicines and biologicals to be accompanied by a physician’s prescription in order to be eligible for reimbursement under health flexible spending accounts (FSAs), health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs) and health savings accounts (HSAs).
Though the specific list of items affected has not been completely assessed, the following categories of OTC items will require a doctor’s prescription as of January 1, 2011 in order to be eligible for reimbursement through an FSA, HRA or HSA:
The Act will also impact the use of all Benefit MasterCards. Beginning January 1, 2011, items that require a doctor’s prescription for reimbursement can no longer be auto substantiated at the point-of-sale. Therefore, purchases of OTC drugs, medicines and biologicals will require another form of payment. The employee can then submit a claim or request for reimbursement by using a reimbursement form and submitting the receipt for the purchase along with the doctor’s prescription for the item purchased. This change affects only OTC drugs, medicines and biologicals; bandages, home health-aids and other OTC items (mentioned below) will still be eligible and can be purchased using the Benefit MasterCard without further documentation.
The following are examples of some of the OTC items that will remain eligible for reimbursement without a doctor’s prescription:
• Band Aids
• Birth Control
• Braces & Supports
• Catheters
• Contact Lens Supplies &Solutions
• Denture Adhesives
• Diagnostic Tests & Monitors
• Elastic Bandages & Wraps
• First Aid Supplies
• Insulin & Diabetic Supplies
• Ostomy Products
• Reading Glasses
• Wheelchairs, Walkers, Canes
Please feel free to contact PlanSource with questions regarding the change to OTC eligibility and reimbursement at (888) 266-1732.

As a smart consumer, it's best for you to know your share of the cost up front. Simply ask your dentist to submit the information for a pretreatment estimate to our customer relations department. We'll inform both you and your dentist of the exact amount your insurance will cover and the amount that you will be responsible for. That way, there won't be any surprises once the work has been completed.
Open Enrollment If a member does not elect to participate when initially eligible, the member may elect to participate at the policyholder's next enrollment period. This enrollment period will be held each year and those who elect to participate in this policy at that time will have their insurance become effective on September 1.
Late Entrant Provision We strongly encourage you to sign up for coverage when you are initially eligible. If you choose not to sign up during this initial enrollment period, you will become a late entrant. Late entrants will be eligible for only exams, cleanings, and fluoride applications for the first 12 months they are covered.
Section 125 This plan is provided as part of the Policyholder's Section 125 Plan. Each employee has the option under the Section 125 Plan of participating or not participating in this plan. If an employee does not elect to participate when initially eligible, he/she may elect to participate at the Policyholder's next Annual Election Period.

Dental Rewards® This dental plan includes a valuable feature that allows qualifying plan members to carryover part of their unused annual maximum. A member earns dental rewards by submitting at least one claim for dental expenses incurred during the benefit year, while staying at or under the threshold amount for benefits received for that year. Employees and their covered dependents may accumulate rewards up to the stated maximum carryover amount, and then use those rewards for any covered dental procedures subject to applicable coinsurance and plan provisions. If a plan member doesn't submit a dental claim during a benefit year, all accumulated rewards are lost. But he or she can begin earning rewards again the very next year.
Benefit Threshold $500 Dental benefits received for the year cannot exceed this amount
Annual Carryover Amount $250 Dental Rewards amount is added to the following year's maximum
Maximum Carryover $1,000 Maximum possible accumulation for Dental Rewards
