Preventive Care at No Cost
With either plan option, in-network preventive care is usually covered with no cost sharing, including well child, routine physicals, OB/GYN exams, mammograms and prostate exams. Costs will only be incurred if additional non-preventive lab work is requested. Also, many prescription medications are considered preventive and are also covered with no cost sharing. Call the member number on your Medical Plan ID card to find out which preventive medications and services are covered at no cost.
Choice Plus Plan / Options Plan (available to Full-Time employees only)
- Coverage through the Choice Plus Plan (Options Plan in Wisconsin) is a more traditional health care option with a deductible, set co-pays and coinsurance amounts.
- With the Choice Plus Plan, you have the option to elect the Flexible Spending Account (FSA).
- Prescription costs are not counted towards the annual deductible; co-pays apply.
Health Savings Plan (available to Full-Time and Qualified Essential Coverage (QEC) eligible part-time employees)
- The Health Savings Plan is a medical plan with a Health Savings Account (HSA).
- The Company contributes to your HSA once your medical benefits go into effect: $500 for individual / $1,000 for family. Plus, you can contribute to your HSA tax free.
- Use your HSA money to pay your out of pocket health care expenses. All medical and prescription costs are applied to your deductible; after you meet the deductible, the plan covers 80% with 20% employee coinsurance.
- With the Health Savings Plan, full-time employees have the option to elect the Flexible Spending Account (FSA), but may only use FSA funds to pay for dental and vision expenses. FSA funds cannot be used to pay for medical expenses when enrolled in the Health Savings Account.
- Your HSA goes where you go! Even if you change jobs, switch health plans, or retire, your HSA is yours—you own it, and the money carries over from year to year.
