Medical
You can choose from three medical benefit plans—Buy-Up Plan, Mid Plan, and High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP)—so you’ll find one that matches both your healthcare needs and your budget. These plans have different features, and you can pick between PPO and HSA options depending on what works best for you.
BUY-UP PLAN
- This plan provides the most comprehensive coverage, with low deductibles and copays, making it a good choice if you expect frequent medical expenses.
MID PLAN
- Offering a balance between premium cost and coverage, the Mid Plan is well-suited for those seeking solid benefits with moderate deductibles and copays.
HIGH DEDUCTIBLE HEALTH PLAN (HDHP)
- The HDHP has the lowest monthly premiums but higher deductibles and can be paired with a Health Savings Account (HSA) for tax savings on qualified expenses.
For more information, please click on the Summary of Benefits (SBCs) below.
HSA
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. If you currently have an HSA your contributions and current fund will rollover to 2026.
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
- HSA funds can be used for non-eligible expenses but will be 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 funds
- You can change your HSA contribution at any time during the plan year for any reason.
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.
HSA funds may be used for non-eligible expenses but will be subject to regular income taxes and a 20% excise tax penalty.
