  7. What is the Blue Health and Savings Account? • The Blue Health and Savings Plan provides…. • Medical coverage through Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield • Pharmacy coverage through Caremark • Access to your HSA account through PayFlex • Health Savings Accounts (HSA) are tax-advantaged interest bearing checking accounts • The HSA money can be used to help pay the cost of out-of-pocket medical and prescription drug expenses or for long term investment purposes • HSAs must be coupled with an HSA-compatible high deductible health plan (HDHP) in order to make contributions to the account

  8. How the Blue Health and Savings Plan Works Preventive Care 100% HSA Funded by you to help satisfy annual deductible and save for future medical expenses Annual Deductible Traditional Health Coverage • Stay healthy with Preventive Care coverage • Youmake contributions to your account to use toward your deductible and/or co-insurance to pay for medical care and prescription drugs • Once you have satisfied your annual deductible, Traditional Health Coverage then covers additional expenses (similar to a PPO) • An annual out-of-pocket maximum protects you from large medical expenses

  9. Insurance Terminology • Deductible– The amount you must pay each year before the plan begins paying • Example: You may have to pay $1,600 before the plan will pay a benefit • Copayment – A flat fee you pay each time you receive health care treatment • Example: You may pay $20 each time you visit your doctor; $40 for a specialist • Note: Copayments are not applicable for the Blue Health & Savings Plan • Coinsurance – A percentage paid of allowable charges by the insurance provider and you after the deductible amount has been paid • Example: Insurance may pay 90% of allowable charges for a hospital bill and you may be responsible for 10% after you meet your deductible • Out-of-Pocket Maximum –The most you will pay out of your own pocket for health care services during the calendar year for coinsurance. The Out-of-Pocket Maximum includes the deductible. • Example: Once you pay $3,000 within a calendar year, the plan will pay 100% of all services in that year

  13. Being a Wise Consumer • Visit a retail health clinic, walk-in doctor’s office or urgent care center for some health problems • Say you have a health problem that isn’t an emergency (like a low fever, upset stomach, rash or sprain), but you can’t see your regular doctor. Instead of the emergency room (ER), think about going to an in-network retail clinic, walk-in doctor’s office or urgent care center. Here’s why: • They can take less time than an ER. • Most are open nights and weekends. • They cost about the same as a regular doctor’s visit. • And you could save $75 to $240.* • The “find a doctor” feature on anthem.com makes it easy to find lower-cost care near your home or work. If you’re looking for a retail health clinic, choose the “Other Health Professionals” category.   • Call 911 or go to the ER if you think you could put your health at serious risk by delaying care.

  14. Being a Wise Consumer • Know your options for having lab work done • When you need to get lab work (such as a blood test, urine test, Pap test or biopsy), your doctor might send you to a hospital lab. But keep in mind that your plan’s network includes other options. A lab that isn’t located in or part of a hospital could be a good choice for you because: • They’re often less expensive than hospital labs — you might even have lower coinsurance for outside labs. • Many have flexible hours (like early morning for when you’ve been fasting). • And you could save up to 20%.*
