2016 DIRECT SERVICE PROVIDER EMPLOYEE BENEFITS OPEN ENROLLMENT PRESENTATION

 Open Enrollment  What’s New  Plan Overview and Costs  What You Need To Do  Get Help AGENDA

Open Enrollment is the ONE time each year that you can choose and make changes to your benefits. WHAT’S OPEN ENROLLMENT? Open Enrollment starts on June 15 th and ends on June 22 nd Remember: the law requires most people to have healthcare coverage or pay a penalty in your taxes. Qualifying events such as marriage, birth of a child, or divorce give you the opportunity to change your benefits outside of open enrollment.

HEALTHCARE REFORM – INDIVIDUAL MANDATE Who All U.S. citizens and legal residents What Individuals must have Minimum Essential Coverage Penalty is charged for each individual without coverage:  2016: $695/individual, $347.50/child, capped at greater of $2,085/family or 2.5% of family income Penalty When Beginning in 2014 How If individual or individual’s spouse or dependent does not have Minimum Essential Coverage, penalty will be assessed against that individual

MEDICAL

WHAT IS A HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT (HSA)? HSA Plan The HSA is a different kind of medical plan. It has two parts… A medical plan + a savings account Top 3 things you need to know about the HSA plan: 1.You can save money tax-free and use it for current or future medical costs, like your deductible, or that surgery you’ve been putting off 2.The money you contribute belongs to you, not Access Alaska, and earns interest, growing year after year 3.Tax Advantage! Pre-tax! No tax on growth in funds! Never taxable if used on medical expenditures! Tax deferred if used in retirement for ANY PURPOSE!

USING YOUR HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT The IRS makes the rules. In general, the expense must treat a medical condition: Prescription, deductibles and coinsurance (even Long-Term Care insurance) Dental and orthodontia expenses Vision expenses (lenses, contact lens solution, frames, etc.) Acupuncture, chiropractic, rehabilitation NOTE: All over-the-counter (OTC) drugs require a prescription

To be covered by the High Deductible Health Plan and eligible to open a Health Savings Account, you must:  Have a HSA-qualified Health Savings Plan, like Anchorage Chrysler’s High Deductible Health plan  Have no other health coverage other than an HSA-qualified plan  Not be enrolled in Medicare  Not be claimed as a dependent on a tax return  Your spouse cannot be enrolled in a Full Purpose Flexible Spending Account (FSA)  Have not received IHS or VA benefits within the last three months AM I ELIGIBLE FOR A HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT?

The amount you can contribute is set by the IRS. WHO CAN CONTRIBUTE TO MY HSA? Plan Year HSA Contribution Amounts Employee Only Employee + Child or Children 2016 maximum HSA contributions $3,350$6,750 If you are 55 years of age or older during the calendar year, you are allotted an additional $1,000 catch-up to the contribution amounts above.

PREVENTIVE CARE Preventive Care benefits are always covered at 100%, which means they’re free to you Examples:  Annual physicals  Blood pressure screenings  Colonoscopy for ages 50+ or those at high risk  Immunizations  Well baby and child exams Important! During your preventive exam, your Provider may find an issue or problem that requires further testing or screenings to get a diagnosis. In that case, the additional services are not considered preventive. Also, you may be charged a facility fee, which is not covered under preventive care.
