Analyze Plan Design Options Health Savings Account with High Deductible Health Plan

Plan Design Options  Changing the way the City does business.  Higher Co-Pays on current plans increases cost- sharing with employees.  High Deductible plans create more informed and cost-conscious users.  Encourages Use of Clinic which lowers overall plan costs.  Over time, informed users make better medical choices, thus controlling costs for both the City and the employee.

Health Savings Account/High Deductible Plan  Adding a Health Savings Account (HSA) with High Deductible Healthcare Plan (HDHP) Option. –City Short-Term Cost Savings  Elimination of City’s Contribution to the Current Flex-Card and Health Reimbursement Account Program ($540,000 approximate annual cost). –City Long-Term Cost Savings by encouraging use of HSA/HDHP plan option.  Contribute $1,500 to HSA Account (Actuaries estimate first year enrollment to be thirty (30) employees, at a projected cost of $45,000 to City.)  Promotes long-term savings for when care is actually needed.  Account rolls over from year-to-year  Employee “owns” the account  Triple Tax-free employee contributions  Interest-bearing account
