Medical

AMHA offers 3 medical plans through Medical Mutual.

A PPO option offers the freedom to see any provider when you need care. When you use providers from within the PPO network, you receive benefits at the discounted network cost. Most expenses, such as office visits, emergency room and prescription drugs are covered by a copay. Other expenses are subject to a deductible and coinsurance. The EPO plan only covers In-Network providers.

The HDHP is similar to the PPO Plan in that you have the option to choose any provider when you need care. However, in exchange for a lower per-paycheck cost, you must satisfy a higher deductible that applies to almost all health care expenses, including those for prescription drugs. All expenses are your responsibility until the deductible is reached, with the exception of preventive care, which is covered at 100% when you visit a physician in the network.

If you enroll in the HSA plan you must open a Health Savings Account (HSA).

Notice: IRS guidelines for 2026 have increased the single and family deductible to $3,400/$6,800 for the HDHP plan.

Utilizing In-Network providers will allow for the highest level of coverage. In-Network providers agree to accept Medical Mutual's contract rate as the final charge and the member is not balance billed*.

**Balance Billing: Some Out of Network Providers bill a patient the difference between the total cost of services and the amount insurance pays.

Preventive Care Guidelines

HSA

Health Savings Account

A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a tax-free savings account that is owned by you, it is 100% vested from day one, and lets you build up savings for future needs. The funds may be used to pay for qualifying healthcare expenses not covered by insurance or any other plan for yourself, your spouse, or tax dependents. You decide how much you would like to contribute, when and how to spend the money on eligible expenses, and how to invest the balance.

To be eligible for an HSA, you must be enrolled in a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP).

UNDERSTANDING YOUR HSA

Pre-tax contributions are deducted through payroll and deposited into your HSA account.
You can use your HSA available funds to pay for qualified medical expenses tax-free.
If HSA funds are used for non-eligible expenses, they are subject to regular income taxes and a 20% excise tax penalty.
Unused funds remain in your account for future use and roll over each calendar year.
HSAs remain with you even if you change health plans or companies. If you open an HSA and later become ineligible to make contributions, you can still use your remaining balance for qualified medical expenses.
You can change your HSA contribution at any time during the plan year for any reason.

To have an HSA and make contributions to the account, you must meet several basic qualifications.

Participants cannot be covered by any other health insurance plan (this exclusion does not apply to certain other types of insurance, such as dental, vision, disability or long-term care coverage)
Participants cannot participate in a Healthcare FSA elsewhere or spouse/domestic partner’s Healthcare FSA or Health Reimbursement Account (HRA).
Participants cannot be enrolled in Medicare or Medicaid.
You cannot be eligible to be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return.
You have not received Department of Veterans Affairs Medical benefits in the past 90 days, unless the Veteran has a disability rating.

You may contribute as follows: (new 2026 limits)

$4,400 for Employee Only
$8,750 for a Two-Person or Family

MAINTAINING RECORDS

To protect yourself in the event that you are audited by the IRS, keep records of all HSA documentation and itemized receipts for at least as long as your income tax return is considered open (subject to an audit), or as long as you maintain the account, whichever is longer.

TRADITIONAL DRUGS

TIER 1 (GENERIC) | Lowest copay: Most drugs in this category are generic drugs. Members pay the lowest copay for generics, making these drugs the most cost-effective option for treatment.

TIER 2 | Low copay: This category includes preferred and low-cost generic drugs.

TIER 3 | Higher copay: This category includes non-preferred, brand name drugs that don't yet have a generic equivalent. These drugs are more expensive than generics and have a higher copay.

WHERE CAN I FIND A DRUG LIST?

Typically, a full listing of covered drugs is found on your provider’s website. A drug list, also called a formulary, is a list of generic and brand-name drugs covered by a health plan. Although a drug may be on the drug list, it might not be covered under every plan. Review the plan materials for details on specific benefits.

You can use drug lists to see if a medication is covered by your health insurance plan. You can also find out if the medication is available as a generic, needs prior authorization, has quantity limits and more.

RX Summary

Smart90 Flyer

Akron Metropolitan Housing Authority is enrolled in Smart90 with Medical Mutual. This is a feature to your prescription plan, managed through Express Scripts. With it, you have 2 ways to get up to a 90-day supply of your long-term medications (medications that you take regularly for ongoing conditions). You can conveniently fill these prescriptions either though home delivery from an Express Script Pharmacy or at a retail pharmacy in the Smart90 Network.

By getting up to a 90-day supply of your long-term medication, you’ll make fewer trips to the pharmacy, and you’ll only need to make one payment every three months. Also, there’s usually a savings for getting one 90-day supply vs. three 30-day supplies at retail. You will pay the same copayment for your 90-day supply whether you fill through home delivery from Express Scripts Pharmacy or at a Smart90 network pharmacy.

Please see attached 2024 list of Smart90 Network pharmacies.

Medical Mutual members may be eligible to participate in the SaveOnSP program that helps you pay $0 for your specialty medications.

For any new eligible medications:

Your doctor or health provider will continue to send your new prescription to Accredo or Gentry for filling.
An Accredo/Gentry representative will call you and transfer you to a SaveOnSP customer service representative. The SaveOnSP representative will assist you with the enrollment in the new manufacturer’s assistance program.
The SaveOnSP representative will provide Accredo or Gentry your needed enrollment information.
Accredo or Gentry will process the claim and you will pay $0 for your medication.
After initial enrollment, SaveOnSP will only contact you once a year to ensure you are properly re-enrolled in the manufacturer’s program if needed.

The SaveOnSP service representative will ensure you are enrolled in the appropriate manufacturer program for each SaveOnSP medication you take.

SaveOnSP Flyer

ImpaxRX Info Flyer

ImpaxRX is a prescription advocacy program that assists employees and their family members with the high cost of certain eligible medications. If the medications you or a family member are taking are identified as eligible under the Medication Under Management (MUM) program, an ImpaxRX advocate will reach out to you to confirm your enrollment in the program and obtain additional information needed to secure the medication at no cost.

Timely participation with ImpaxRX is required to receive these programs for your high-cost medications. Please respond if ImpaxRX contacts you! This will allow them to work on your behalf to obtain your medication at no cost.

There is no cost to you to participate in this program, and there will be no copayments for eligible medications approved by the program. Additionally, by using the program, the cost of these medications is lowered under the AMHA Health Plan which allows for savings to keep employee premium contributions to a minimum for all.

Please call ImpaxRX at 844-467-2979, option 1 with questions.
