How the CGCSC HDHP and HSA Work Together Center Grove Community School Corporation October 30, 2013 Dr. Paul Gabriel, CFO
Introduction • Let’s talk about our new HDHP/HSA Plan • You should first watch these videos: • Why You Should Consider an HDHP/HSA Plan • What is an HSA? • Go to our website for more info:www.centergrove.k12.in.us/HSA
Let’s Define Some Terms • High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) – Our new health plan with a $3,000-single and $6,000-family deductible • Health Savings Account (HSA) – A bank account you can use to pay health expenses • HDHP/HSA – The two in combination
Should you choose the HDHP/HSA? • Q1: What are you paying now? • Q2: What will your health care costs be in 2014? • Q3: What would you pay with the HDHP/HSA? • Every employee’s situation is different, so you will have to decide for you and your family • We are going to run through a few examples
Example #1 - Single • Single employee, with ongoing health issues • On the single plan and reaches $1,000 out-of-pocket max • How does the HDHP/HSA compare?
Example #1 Summary • If 2014 is exactly as predicted, you save $296. • If 2014 is better than predicted and your health costs are less, you still save $296 and you will have some money left in your HSA at the end of the year. • If 2014 is worse than predicted and your health costs are very high, you still save $296 and your HSA account will be zero at the end of the year
Example #2 – Employee+1 • Married employee (no children), with few health issues • On the family plan and uses the clinic to avoid most expenses • How does the HDHP/HSA compare?
Example #2 Summary • If 2014 is exactly as predicted, you save $2,120 and have $2,527 in your HSA at the end of the year. • If 2014 is better than predicted and your health costs are less, you still save $2,120 and you will have more than $2,527 in your HSA at the end of the year. • If 2014 is worse than predicted and your health costs are very high, you will have to spend an additional $1,353, and your HSA account will be zero at the end of the year.
Example #3 - Family • Married employee (with kids) • On the family plan with moderate annual health expenses • Has an auto accident with major injury in 2014 • How does the HDHP/HSA compare?
Example #3 Summary • This is a worst case example, with very high health care costs in one year. You will still save $285, but will have nothing in your HSA at the end of the year.
