The City of Fairview Park offers two 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 HSA 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.
Utilizing In-Network providers will allow for the highest level of coverage. In-Network providers agree to accept Medical Mutual contract rate as the final charge and the member is not balance billed*. Your medical network with MMO is SuperMed Plus.
**Balance Billing: Some Out of Network Providers bill a patient the difference between the total cost of services and the amount insurance pays.
Looking for more details about how items are covered? Please refer to the formal Summary of Benefits and Coverage (SBC) below.

All health plans recognize routine preventive services at 100%, no coinsurance, no deductible if the claim is submitted as routine or preventive and the services performed fall within the approved list of preventive services.
For a complete and updated list of preventive services, please use the link below.
During your wellness visit, proactively let your physician know the reason for the appointment is for a wellness visit and that your physician needs to submit and code the visit as routine or preventive in nature. If your visit is submitted with a diagnosis, the wellness visit will not be paid at 100%, but instead will be subject to deductible and coinsurance. Below are a few examples of services that can be recognized as preventive.
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
You may contribute as follows: (IRS Update for 2025)
$4,300 for Employee Only
$8,550 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.
HSA funds may be used for non-eligible expenses but will be subject to regular income taxes and a 20% excise tax penalty.
Your Health Savings Account is through Health Equity.
Fairview Park contributes 50% of your deductible to your HSA account, on a quarterly basis. You have the option to contribute to your HSA account by payroll deduction. To do this, please download, complete and return the attached document.
This form must be completed each year.
Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) allow you to reduce your taxable income by setting aside pre-tax dollars from each paycheck to pay for eligible out-of-pocket health care and dependent care expenses* for yourself, your spouse and your dependent children.
In order to participate in the FSA, you must enroll each year. Your annual contribution stays in effect during the entire year (January 1st through December 31st). The only time you can change your election is during the enrollment period or if you experience a qualifying event.
Employees have the option to enroll in a Health Care, Dependent Care (DCFSA) or Limited Purpose FSA (LPFSA).
With a Health Care FSA all eligible health care expenses – such as deductibles, medical and prescription copays, dental expenses, and vision expenses – can be reimbursed from your FSA account. With the Health Care FSA, you can spend up to the full amount of your annual election as soon as your account has been set up.
Maximum Annual Contribution: $3,300
The Dependent Care FSA allows you to pay for eligible dependent care expenses with tax-free dollars. Unlike the Health Care FSA, funds in a Dependent Care FSA are only available once they have been deposited into your account and you cannot use the funds ahead of time.
Limited Purpose FSAs are designed to work in conjunction with your Health Savings Account (HSA). Members who elect a LPFSA can pay for dental and vision expenses with pre-tax funds. This plan helps members save money while retaining their HSA eligibility.
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 non-preferred and low-cost generic drugs.
TIER 3 | Higher copay: This category includes preferred, brand name drugs that don't yet have a generic equivalent. These drugs are more expensive than generics, and 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.
Medical Mutual members can join the SaveOnSP program that helps you pay $0 for your specialty medications.
How do I enroll?
For any new eligible medications:
The SaveOnSP service representative will ensure you are enrolled in the appropriate manufacturer program for each SaveOnSP medication you take.
Smart90 is a feature to your Medical Mutual 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.
ImpaxRX is a prescription advocacy program that assists employees and their family members with the high cost of certain eligible medications.

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 you 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 City of Fairview Park Health Plan which allows for savings to keep employee premium contributions to a minimum for all.
