8. District 622 Health Plan Offerings Provider network and drug formulary the same for all plans

9. How does it work?High Deductible Plan with a Reimbursement Account (HSA or VEBA) 1. You seek medical care, your provider submits the charges to HealthPartners 2. HealthPartners processes the claim, applies their discount and sends Explanation of Benefits to provider and you. 3. Provider sends you bill for amount you owe. 4. You pay the doctor using provided checks or Benny card (HSA) 4. You receive reimbursement from VEBA account 5. You paythe doctor (VEBA)

10. What is an HSA and VEBA? Both are accounts that you can use to pay medical expenses Must be in conjunction with a high-deductible health plan (HDHP) Tax-advantages: contribute pre-tax money (HSA only), funds accrue tax-free and withdraw funds tax-free (if they are for eligible medical expenses) You own the account Contributions HSA—Both you and your employer can contribute funds VEBA—Only the employer can contribute funds

11. Benefits of an HSA or VEBA Tax advantage means you save money on your health care expenses Funds rollover each year, so you can use you’re the account to save tax-free money for retirement You own the account, even if you leave the District Lower monthly premiums than a traditional health plan

12. Qualified Medical Expenses The IRS defines expenses that are considered “qualified medical expenses” for HSA/VEBA distributions Expenses must be primarily to treat or prevent a physical or mental defect or illness (HSA Only) If you use HSA funds for expenses beyond what the IRS defines as qualified, you will be subject to income tax on the distribution and an additional 20 percent penalty

13. Examples of qualified medical expenses include: Most medical care that is subject to your deductible (copays, coinsurance, doctor visits, inpatient or outpatient treatment, etc.) Prescription drugs Over-the-counter drugs, only if you obtain a prescription Insulin (with or without a prescription) Dental and vision care Select insurance premiums COBRA, qualified long-term care insurance, health insurance premiums paid while receiving unemployment benefits, health insurance after you turn 65 except for a Medicare supplemental policy Examples of not considered “qualified medical expenses” include: Insurance premiums (other than the exceptions listed on the previous slide) Over-the-counter drugs (unless a prescription is retained from a physician – insulin is an exception) A full list of qualified medical expenses is available at corphealthsys.com or from the Benefits office

14. Distribution Rules Distributions are tax-free if they are taken for “qualified medical expenses” Accounts can only be used for expenses that are incurred on or after the date the account was established Funds can be used for expenses from a prior year, as long as the expenses incurred on or after the date the account was established

15. Distribution Rules cont. Distributions can be taken for qualified medical expenses for the following people: The account holder (employee covered by the HDHP) Spouse of account holder (even if not covered by the HDHP) Dependent Children VEBA: To age 26 HSA: Tax Dependents of that individual

34. HSA Contribution Each year, the IRS sets contribution limits These limits are for the total funds contributed, including company contributions, your contributions and any other contributions You are allowed to contribute the entire year’s limit whenever you first become eligible for the HSA (even if that is in December) However, you must remain eligible for at least 12 months after that date, or you will be subject to taxes and penalties on the amount you contributed

35. Catch-Up Contributions For individuals ages 55 and older, the IRS allows additional “catch-up contributions” Eligible individuals may contribute an extra $1,000 for the year (for 2013) This is to help save additional money for retirement

36. Distributions – Age 65-plus For individuals age 65 and older, HSA distributions can be used for non-qualified medical expenses without facing the 20 percent penalty However, income taxes will apply for non-medical distributions This rule is regardless of whether the individual is enrolled in Medicare

37. Recordkeeping Whenever you use HSA funds to pay for a medical expense, you should keep your receipt Different from the VEBA, you are responsible for demonstrating to the IRS that HSA distributions were for qualified medical expenses If the IRS requests receipts for verification purposes, failure to provide those receipts could result in having to pay a penalty
