Medical Plans

How The Health Plan Works

A Note About Health Care Reform

If you choose to purchase individual coverage through the Marketplace, you should know that because Cannistraro’s medical insurance meets specific ACA requirements, you may not be eligible to receive a federal subsidy.

Additional information is available at www.healthcare.gov

Deductible

The amount you pay each plan year for eligible in-network and out-of-network charges before the plan begins to pay.

Out of Pocket Maximum

The most you will pay each plan year for eligible network services including prescriptions. After you reach your outof-pocket maximum, the plan picks up the full cost of covered medical care for the remainder of the plan year.

Embedded

"Embedded" means that no one person in a covered family will have to meet more than the individual deductible and/or out-of-pocket maximum.

Copay

The per-service fixed fee you pay for certain covered medical expenses (for example, office visits).

Coinsurance (Applies to the PPO Plan)

Once you’ve met your deductible, you and the plan share the cost of care, called coinsurance. For example, you pay 20% for services and the plan will pay 80% of the cost until you have reached your out-of-pocket maximum.

Explanation of Benefits / Active Summary

An EOB (Explanation of Benefits) is also known as Harvard Pilgrim’s ‘Active Summary’. It is a claim statement highlighting how they have processed claims for medical services you've received. Click here to learn how to read your Active Summary.

Health Reimbursement Arrangement

To help offset the majority of the plan deductibles, Cannistraro pays $3,000 per member to fund a Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) for employees enrolled in the medical plans. The benefit is capped at $6,000 for family.

The HRA is administered by London Health Administrators. London Health will automatically pay the provider directly, up to the eligible HRA amounts below.

When you arrive at the doctor’s office or hospital, present your Harvard Pilgrim Health Care member ID card.

• The provider will bill Harvard Pilgrim Health Care who will then adjudicate the claim and send your claim information to the provider and London Health outlining your deductible responsibility.

• London Health will process the claim accordingly and pay your provider directly.

• The provider will receive the payment along with an explanation showing what was paid, and for what date of service.

Money contributed to your HRA does not roll over from year-to-year. If you leave Cannistraro, you cannot take this money with you.

Health Reimbursement

Arrangements (HRAs) are employer-funded group health plans from which eligible medical expenses are paid up to a fixed dollar amount per year.

The employer funds and owns the account. HRAs are also commonly called Health Reimbursement Accounts.

HRA Deductible Payment Example

The Crown family has the HMO plan that covers Mr. and Mrs. Crown and their two children. Each family member has a $4,000 individual deductible, and together they have a $8,000 family deductible.

Mr. Crown meets his $4,000 deductible after going to the emergency room in February. $3,000 of the deductible is paid by Cannistraro through the HRA with London Health Administrators and $1,000 is paid out-of-pocket directly by Mr. Crown.

Mrs. Crown has an outpatient surgery and meets her $4,000 individual deductible in March. $3,000 of the deductible is paid by Cannistraro through the HRA with London Health Administrators and $1,000 is paid out-of-pocket directly by Mrs. Crown.

The Cannistraro HRA Contribution of $6,000 has been met and total family out-ofpocket responsibility of $2,000 has been met. This means that the total family deductible of $8,000 has now been met by Mr. and Mrs. Crown.

Any further medical care for anyone in the family will be covered by the insurance company according to the plan benefits.

Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs)

Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) allow you to set money aside for certain eligible expenses and draw from it throughout the year to pay for those expenses The money is set aside pre-tax, reducing your taxable income The two types of FSAs offered by Cannistraro are:

• Health Care FSA (funds are available immediately)

• Dependent Care FSA (funds are available as they are deducted from paycheck)

Money cannot be transferred between the accounts (i e , you cannot use money from your Health Care FSA to pay for Dependent Care FSA expenses and vice versa) You also must enroll in the FSAs each year; your elections will not roll over to the next plan year

Health Care FSA

This FSA allows you to pay for eligible medical, dental and vision expenses You can deposit up to $3,200 to the Health Care FSA for the 2024 - 2025 plan year

Health Care FSA Roll Over

If you enroll in the Health Care FSA, you have the option to carry forward up to $640 to the 2024 - 2025 plan year These funds will not count against your future FSA election plan contribution limit Any unused balances in excess of $640 at the end of the 2024 - 2025 plan year will be forfeited per IRS regulations

Dependent Care FSA

Dependent Care FSA is used to pay for the costs of dependent care that enables you to work This care may be for a child under age 13 and for older dependents, including children, spouses and parents who are physically or mentally unable to care for themselves and who live with you for more than half the year

Eligible expenses include daycare, before-school and after-school care, babysitters and elder daycare. For the 2024 - 2025 plan year, you can deposit up to $5,000 to the Dependent Care FSA ($2,500 if you are married and filing separately). Unused funds do not carry over to the following plan year and will be forfeited per IRS regulations.

How the FSAs Work

As a new hire (and again during Open Enrollment), you select the amount of money you wish to deposit into the Health Care and/or Dependent Care account for the entire plan year

The plan year for the FSA benefit is May 1 to April 30 The total amount is then equally divided by the number of pay periods remaining in that year and that amount is deducted from each paycheck The money is set aside in your FSA account(s)

Employees who enroll in the Health Care FSA will receive a debit card to pay for qualified purchases, eliminating the need to submit a paper claim and wait for reimbursement

The FSA plans are administered by London Health Administrators. To register and access your member account, go to LondonHealthUSA.com and select Member Login at the upper right-hand corner the landing page.
