ENROLLED IN AN HSA ELIGIBLE HEALTH PLAN?
Take charge of your health care spending with a Health Savings Account (HSA). Contributions to an HSA are tax-free, and no matter what, the money in the account is yours!
A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a tax-free savings account is owned by you, is 100% vested from day one, and let’s 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.
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.
2023 | HSA FUNDING LIMITS
Each year, the IRS places a limit on the maximum amount that can be contributed to HSA accounts.
HSA Contribution Limits
Employee: $3,850
Two Person/Family: $7,750
HSA “Catch-Up” Contributions

HSA ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
To have an HSA and make contributions to the account, you must meet several basic qualifications.
- To be eligible to open and contribute to an HSA, you must have coverage under a qualified High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP).
- 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 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. (There may be additional special circumstances, check with your tax preparer).
*A full list of qualified expenses can be found in IRS Publication 502 at www.irs.gov.
Prescription Drugs/Rx
Save Money With Generic (Tier 1) Drugs
Ask your doctor if it’s appropriate to use a generic drug rather than a brand. Generic drugs are less expensive, and according to the FDA, they contain the same active ingredients and are identical in dose, form and administrative method as a brand name.

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.
Helpful Rx Cost Savings Tools & Tips
MAIL ORDER - Many drugs are available in a 90-day supply, rather than the 30-day retail supply. Typically, you will pay less if you choose to get a mail order 90-day supply.
GOOD Rx - There are many tools online that you can use in order to save on prescription costs. One being GoodRx.com, an online Rx database that allows you to find what pharmacy is the cheapest for your specific prescription. Additionally, you may be able to find a coupon that will greatly reduce your cost. It is important to remember that many of the coupons can only be used outside of your plan (will not count towards your maximums).
ASK YOUR DOCTOR - Make sure to ask if there are cost savings alternatives to the prescription they are providing. Many times there are generic or different manufacturers that will save you money at the pharmacy.

Virtual Visits - Telehealth
No crowded waiting rooms. No Driving. See a doctor when you need a doctor.
A virtual visit lets you see and talk to a doctor from your mobile device or computer. When you use one of the provider groups in our virtual visit network, you have benefit coverage for certain non-emergency medical conditions. A $49 copay will apply (unless the deductible is satisfied then it is covered at 100%) and this must be paid by you at the time of the virtual visit and will apply toward your deductible and out-of-pocket maximum.
WHEN CAN I USE A VIRTUAL VISIT?
When you have a non-emergency condition and:
- your doctor is not available
- you become ill while traveling
- When you are considering visiting a hospital emergency room for a non-emergency health condition.
*Your covered children may also use Virtual Visits when a parent or legal guardian is present for the visit.
Examples of Non-Emergency Conditions:
- Bladder infection
- Bronchitis
- Diarrhea
- Fever
- Pink eye
- Rash
- Seasonal flu
- Sinus
- Sore throat
- Stomach
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The first time you use a Virtual Visits provider, you will need to set up an account with that Virtual Visits provider group. You will need to complete the patient registration process to gather medical history, pharmacy preference, primary care physician contact information, and insurance information.
Each time you have a virtual visit, you will be asked some brief medical questions, including questions about your current medical concern. If appropriate, you will then be connected using secure live audio and video technology to a doctor licensed to deliver care in the state you are in at the time of your visit. You and the doctor will discuss your medical issue, and, if appropriate, the doctor may write a prescription* for you.
Virtual Visits doctors use e-prescribing to submit prescriptions to the pharmacy of your choice. Costs for the virtual visit and prescription drugs are based on, and payable under, your medical and pharmacy benefit. They are not covered as part of your Virtual Visits benefit.
*Prescription services may not be available in all states.
HOW DO I GET ACCESS?
Learn more about Virtual Visits and access direct links to provider sites by logging into your www.member.medmutual.com or by using the MedMutual app on your phone.

Vision
Under this plan, you may use the eye care professional of your choice. However, when you visit a participating in-network provider, you receive higher levels of coverage.

BENEFICIARY(IES)
It’s very important to designate beneficiaries. Taking a few minutes to designate your beneficiaries now will help ensure that your assets will be distributed according to your direction.
A Beneficiary is the person you designate to receive your life insurance benefits in the event of your death. It is important that your beneficiary designation is clear so there is no question as to your intentions.
It is also important that you name a Primary and Contingent Beneficiary. A contingent beneficiary will receive the benefits of your life insurance if the primary beneficiary cannot. You can change beneficiaries at any time.
You should review your beneficiary elections on a regular basis to ensure they are updated as life changes. Even if you are single, your beneficiary can use your Life Insurance to pay off your debts, such as: credit cards, mortgages, and other expenses.
*You designate your beneficiary(ies) when enrolling for your benefits.
WHAT WILL MY BENEFICIARY RECEIVE?
In The Event That Death Occurs:
–Your Basic Life insurance is paid to your beneficiary.
–If death occurs from an accident: 100% of the AD&D benefit would be payable to your beneficiary(ies) in addition to your Basic Life insurance.
