Announcements for 2014! • BDP will offer more choice for 2014 with a choice of two medical plans: • Basic PPO plan with deductible and coinsurance; • High Deductible Health Plan with Health Savings Account (HSA). • Focus on becoming an Active Healthcare Consumer • Benefit Plan Year will be January 1st through December 31st • Coverage for Domestic Partners
What is Consumerism? • Health care consumerism is all about changing your behavior—becoming more involved in your health, taking more responsibility for making smart health care decisions and leading a healthy lifestyle. It is taking responsibility for your health and your healthcare costs by using tools and information to make informed decisions and save money. • Consumerism is moving from the “doctor says/patient does” model to a “doctor/patient partnership” model.
What is a High Deductible Health Plan with HSA? • A High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP is a PPO plan with a deductible that is regulated by the IRS). • A Health Savings Account (HSA) is an account in addition to the medical plan that allows you to make PRE-TAX contributions with any unused funds rolling over year-to-year. • The HSA is a bank account controlled and owned by you to pay for qualified medical expenses (i.e. deductible, coinsurance, prescription drugs and other healthcare expenses).
Why would I choose this plan? • Your payroll contributions are less than the Basic PPO plan! • You can make tax-free contributions into your HSA. • Amounts contributed to an HSA belong to you and are completely portable. • Potential interest and investment gains accumulate tax free. • Distributions are tax free when used to pay for qualified medical expenses. • Remaining balances roll over year-to-year.
Health Savings Account Features • The HSA is administered through Bancorp Bank • Low monthly account maintenance fee • Free, no annual-fee HSA VISA debit card for easy access • Free first order of 50 checks • 24/7 Customer Service • For more information • Call 1-800-283-1534 • Visit www.mybancorphsa.com
When you access Medical Care? • Show your IBC ID card. • Ask the provider to bill the carrier prior to requesting payment from you, so that the discount can be applied. If you are in the Basic PPO plan a copay may still apply for certain services. • IBC will determine your deductible and coinsurance amount – then pay the health care provider the balance. • You will receive an Explanation of Benefits (EOB)detailing the amount paid to the health care provider and your responsibility. • Request an itemized bill from your health care provider. Verify the billed amount against the EOB. If it matches, pay the bill. If you have any questions, contact the carrier or your health care provider.
