A SMARTER WAY TO BETTER HEALTH

It’s Your Health. Get Involved

Your health is a work in progress that needs your consistent attention and support. Each choice you make for yourself and your family is part of an ever-changing picture. Taking steps to improve your health such as going for annual physicals and living a healthy lifestyle can make a positive impact on your well-being.

It’s up to you to take responsibility and get involved, and we are pleased to offer programs that will support your efforts and help you reach goals.

Preventative Health Care Services

Immunizations

Understanding What’s Covered

Preventive care includes services like checkups, screenings and immunizations that can help you stay healthy and may help you avoid or delay health problems. Many serious conditions such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes are preventable and treatable if caught early. It’s important for everyone to get the preventive care they need. Some examples of preventive care services are: o o o o

Blood pressure, diabetes, and cholesterol tests Certain cancer screenings, such as mammograms, colonoscopies Counseling, screenings and vaccines to help ensure healthy pregnancies Regular well-baby and well-child visits

Some immunizations and vaccinations are also considered preventive care services. Standard immunizations recommended by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Include: hepatitis A and B, diphtheria, polio, pneumonia, measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus and influenza although these may be subject to age and/or frequency restrictions.

Generally speaking, if a service is considered preventive care, it will be covered at 100%. If it’s not, it may still be covered subject to a copay, deductible or coinsurance. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires that services considered preventive care be covered by your health plan at 100% innetwork, without a copay, deductible or coinsurance. To get specifics about your plan’s preventive care coverage, call the customer service number on your member ID card. You may want to ask your doctor if the services you’re receiving at a preventive care visit (such as an annual checkup) are all considered standard preventive care.

If any service performed at an annual checkup is as a result of a prior diagnosed condition, the office visit may not be processed as preventive and you may be responsible for a copay, coinsurance or deductible. To learn more about the ACA or preventive care and coverage, visit www.healthcare.gov.

H E A LT H S AV I N G S AC C O U N T WHAT IS AN HSA? A Health Savings Account (HSA) is like a 401(k) for healthcare. It is a tax advantaged personal savings or investment account that you can use to save and pay for qualified health expenses, now or in the future.     

Funds contributed to the HSA are not subject to federal income tax at the time of deposit.

Withdrawals for qualified medical expenses are also tax-free.

HSA funds may be used to pay for qualified medical expenses at any time without federal tax liability or penalty.

HSAs are portable, which means you keep your HSA, even if you leave EspriGas or are unemployed.

Funds roll over and accumulate year to year if not spent.

HOW DOES AN HSA WORK? 1. You must have coverage under an HSA qualified HDHP - there can be no secondary medical coverage in place 2. Once covered by a qualified HDHP, you may open an HSA and contribute up to the 2022 regulatory limits 3. Pre-tax contributions to your HSA can continue until age 65 and you’re enrolled in Medicare Part A. If you are currently enrolled in Medicare, are currently being claimed as a dependent on another person’s tax return, or have coverage through Tricare or the Veteran’s Administration, you are not eligible to open an HSA. 3. Once your HSA is established and you have a qualified expense you may: • make a tax-free withdrawal from your account to cover the costs, or • pay out of your pocket and save your HSA for future qualified expenses 5. HSA money rolls over indefinitely so you may allow the money to accumulate for use in retirement!

Only IRS qualified healthcare expenses are eligible for reimbursement from an HSA. Any funds used for nonqualified expenses are taxable as income and subject to a 20% tax penalty.

CONTRIBUTIONS Maximum contributions for calendar year 2023 are listed below. This amount includes employer contributions.

• $3,850 for Individual coverage • $7,750 for Family coverage • Additional $1,000 for “Catch-Up” age 55 and older For the 2022-2023 plan year, EspriGas will contribute a dollar-for-dollar match to the employee’s Health Savings Account up to $750.

Looking to MAX OUT your employer contribution? Based on the 2023 contribution limits: Individual Coverage $3,850(max) - $750(employer contribution)= $3,100/26= $119.23 contribution per pay Family Coverage $7,750(max) - $750(employer contribution)= $7,000/26= $269.23 contribution per pay

WHAT ARE QUALIFIED MEDICAL EXPENSES? Examples of HSA eligible expenses are copays, deductibles, qualifying prescriptions, and qualifying medical equipment.

A full description of qualified HSA expenditures can be found in IRS Publication 502 and is located on the web at www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p502.pdf.

F L E X I B L E S P E N D I N G AC C O U N T ( F S A ) You may not enroll in the FSA if you are contributing to an HSA.

Provided by Surency EspriGas offers employees the opportunity to participate in the Healthcare Flexible Spending Account (FSA) and Dependent Care FSA. These programs may provide you with significant tax advantages as they allow you to pay for eligible out-of-pocket expenses with pre-tax dollars through payroll deductions. It is very important that you estimate your annual expenses as accurately as possible because the plan only allows for a $570 carryover maximum annually.

Healthcare Flexible Spending Account You may defer up to $2,850 to your Healthcare FSA to fund eligible out-of-pocket healthcare expenses. The following list provides examples of expenses eligible for reimbursement under the IRS guidelines: • • • • • •

Non-covered medical expenses that quality under Section 217 of the IRS code Deductibles Office visit copays Prescription medication Over-the-counter medications (require physician prescription) Hearing and dental expenses not covered by insurance

For a searchable list of FSA eligible expenses please visit: www.fsastore.com Examples of non-eligible expenses include cosmetic surgery, electrolysis, toiletries, vitamins, health club dues.

Dependent Care FSA You may defer up to $5,000 to your Dependent Care FSA to fund eligible out-of-pocket expenses for childcare and eldercare. To be eligible for reimbursement, expenses must meet the following criteria established by the IRS: ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪

The person cared for must be under age 13, or if older, physically or mentally incapable of self-care.

Day care must be necessary in order for you and your spouse to work.

The person cared for must be claimed as a dependent on your federal tax return and must reside in your home at least eight hours per day.

Payment for care cannot be made to anyone you claim as a dependent on your income tax return, to your spouse or to a child under age 19.

If care is provided by a center that cares for more than six individuals, it must be licensed.

For a complete list of eligible medical and dependent care expenses, you may access publications #502 (healthcare) and #503 (dependent care) on the web at www.irs.gov.

LEGAL NOTICES THIS GUIDE - This brochure summarizes the health care and income protection benefits that are available to EspriGas and their eligible dependents. Official plan documents, policies, and certificates of insurance contain the details, conditions, maximum benefit levels and restrictions on benefits. These documents govern your benefits program. If there is any conflict, the official documents prevail. These documents are available upon request through your Human Resources department. Information provided in this brochure is not a guarantee of benefits.

HEALTH INSURANCE PORTABILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT (HIPAA) EspriGas, in accordance with HIPAA, protects your Protected Health Information (PHI). We will only discuss your PHI with medical providers and third-party administrators when necessary to administer the plan that provides you your medical, dental and vision benefits or as mandated by law. A copy of the Notice of Privacy is available upon request through your Human Resources department.

WOMEN'S HEALTH ACT If you have had or are going to have a mastectomy, you may be entitled to certain benefits under the Women's Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998 (WHCRA). For individuals receiving mastectomy-related benefits, coverage will be provided in a manner determined in consultation with the attending physician and the patient for: • All stages of reconstruction of the breast on which the mastectomy was performed; • Surgery and reconstruction of the other breast to produce a symmetrical appearance; • Prostheses; and • Treatment of physical complications of the mastectomy, including lymphedema.

CONTINUATION REQUIRED BY FEDERAL LAW FOR YOU & YOUR DEPENDENTS (COBRA) The continuation required by Federal Law does not apply to any benefits for loss of life, dismemberment or loss of income. Federal law enables you or your dependent to continue health insurance if coverage would cease due to a reduction of your work hours or your termination of employment (other than gross misconduct). Federal law also enables your dependents to continue health insurance if their coverage ceases due to your health, divorce, or legal separation, or with respect to a dependent child, failure to continue to qualify as a dependent. Continuation must be elected in accordance with the rules of your Employer's group health plan(s) and is subject to federal law, regulations and interpretations.

MEDICAID AND THE CHILDREN'S HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM (CHIP) The continuation required by Federal Law does not apply to any benefits for loss of life, dismemberment or loss of income. Federal law enables you or your dependent to continue health insurance if coverage would cease due to a reduction of your work hours or your termination of employment (other than gross misconduct). Federal law also enables your dependents to continue health insurance if their coverage ceases due to your health, divorce, or legal separation, or with respect to a dependent child, failure to continue to qualify as a dependent. Continuation must be elected in accordance with the rules of your Employer's group health plan(s) and is subject to federal law, regulations and interpretations.

You must request enrollment within 30 days after the loss of other coverage.

• Gain a new dependent as a result of marriage, birth, adoption or placement for adoption. You must request (medical plan OR health plan) enrollment within 30 days after the marriage, birth, adoption or placement for adoption.

You must request medical plan enrollment within 60 days after the loss of such coverage.

Federal law prohibits the plan from limiting a mother's or newborn's length of hospital stay to less than 48 hours for a normal delivery or 96 hours for a Cesarean delivery or from requiring the provider to obtain pre-authorization for a stay of 48 or 96 hours, as appropriate. However, federal law generally does not prohibit the attending provider, after consultation with the mother, from discharging the mother or her newborn earlier than 48 hours for normal delivery or 96 hours for Cesarean delivery.
