Enrollment



Our goal is to provide meaningful benefits that support your wellbeing and the wellbeing of your loved ones. In return, you are expected to take accountability for understanding and appropriately utilizing your benefits. We encourage you to take the time to learn about all of the benefits, review your current elections and make choices that are right for you and your family for 2023.
During Open Enrollment, staff members can enroll in the following benefits:
• Medical • Dental
• Vision • Voluntary Life
• Voluntary Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D)
• Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs)
Be sure to read this guide in its entirety, as well as the other Open Enrollment resources on Worklife. Make your decisions and complete your enrollment or waive coverage in UKG.
Keep in mind that the benefit elections you made for 2022 do not automatically carry over. Be sure to make active elections for 2023 benefits during Open Enrollment in order to avoid a lapse in coverage. You will not be able to make changes during the year unless you experience a qualified life event.

It’s important to consider your options when selecting your medical plan. Deciding on a plan is a personal decision for you and your family. When choosing the plan that’s right for you, it’s important to think about your total costs:
Fixed costs (annual premium contributions) + variable costs (out-of-pocket expenses) = total costs
Here are a few things to think about when choosing a medical plan:
• Consider your per paycheck premium contribution. Since your maximum out-ofpocket exposure is the same on both plans, your premium contribution is an important consideration.
• How do you and your family use your health care? Consider the number of office visits you make in an average year, the number and cost of prescription drugs you use, and the number of foreseeable hospital visits you anticipate in the upcoming plan year (pregnancy, chronic conditions, etc.).
• Enrolling in our High Deductible Plan gives you access to a health savings account (HSA). HSA dollars can be used for qualified health care expenses, including vision and dental for yourself and any tax dependents. Your HSA dollars will rollover year-toyear, giving you the ability to save for future health care expenses. To learn more about HSAs, go to www.optumbank.com.
• You may also make contributions to your HSA up to the IRS maximums: $3,850/single and $7,750/family.
• If you are age 55+, you are eligible to make an additional $1,000 “catch-up” contribution. Be sure to factor in your Room & Board contribution with these limits. There are some tax advantages to contributing to an HSA; see right.
• If you enroll in our Copay Plan, you have the ability to open a Medical Flexible Spending Account that allows you to set aside pre-tax money from your paycheck to pay for eligible medical, vision and dental expenses. (See page 15 for more information.)
• Staff member contributions are tax-free, reducing your taxable income.

Routine dental care can not only improve your oral health but your overall health as well. Delta Dental of Minnesota offers two networks — Delta Dental PPO and Delta Dental Premier — that work together to provide the greatest access to providers and help control your costs. Choosing a dentist in the Delta Dental PPO network may save you even more money.
Four out of five dentists nationally are Delta Dental Network dentists. You can choose to see a dentist outside of the network, but your expenses may be higher, and you may be responsible for submitting your own claim. To find a participating dentist, simply visit www.deltadentalmn.org and use the interactive ‘’Find a Dentist” tool or call Customer Service toll-free at 800-448-3815.
FSAs are voluntary accounts that allow you to use pre-tax funds to pay for certain expenses. You can set up three separate accounts — one for qualified health care expenses, one for qualified dependent care expenses and one for work-related parking/ transit expenses.
The Medical FSA provides a way to pay for your family’s eligible medical, vision and dental expenses with pre-tax money that is deducted from your paycheck.
You may make pre-tax contributions of up to $2,650 per year to your Medical FSA. If you have money left over at the end of the calendar year, you will be able to rollover up to $610 of your balance to the following calendar year.
Eligible expenses can be found here through WEX: https://www.wexinc.com/insights/ benefits-toolkit/eligible-expenses/
You may make pre-tax contributions of up to $2,650 per year to your Limited Purpose

You may contribute up to $5,000 per year, per family household, on a pre-tax basis to the Dependent Care FSA. This annual maximum applies to all contributions made by you and your spouse to a Dependent Care account.
You can be reimbursed for dependent care expenses if they are necessary to allow you or your spouse to work. The services must be provided by a qualified dependent care provider to care for your child, disabled spouse, elderly parent or other dependent who is physically or mentally incapable of self-care.
Staff members who incur work-related commuter expenses, including transportation or parking, may participate in this benefit. In 2023 you are able to deduct up to $300 per month pre-tax from your paycheck for transit expenses and $300 per month for parking expenses.
• You decide how much of your paycheck you want to deposit into your transit or parking account each pay period.
• Your deduction will be loaded onto a debit card for you to pay for transit or parking expenses. You can also submit requests for reimbursements.
• Transactions or reimbursement requests cannot exceed the $300 IRS monthly maximums.
• Any amount remaining at the end of the calendar year will roll forward to the next calendar year.
• Bus passes, commuter van, light rail, train and subway fares
• Parking ramps
The following illustrates the tax benefits of an FSA. This example compares costs for single-employee coverage. Your actual costs and tax savings will vary.
Taxable income $40,000 $40,000
Your FSA contribution -$2,500 $0
Net taxable income $37,500 $40,000
Less taxes -$4,310 -$4,740
Expenses paid after taxes $0 -$2,500
Remaining income $33,190 $32,760
Your savings $430 $0
We find great value in using our flex debit card to pay for claims at the time of service. The card gives you instant access to the funds in your account. The IRS regulations mandate that all claims incurred in an FSA must be substantiated. When a claim cannot be automatically substantiated (e.g., a prescription co-payment), WEX Benefits will request documentation. It is imperative when asked for documentation that you provide it to WEX Benefits as soon as possible. If documentation is not provided, the IRS requires you to pay back the plan.
