Welcome
Helping you and your family reach and maintain good health is important to TMI Group. We review our benefit programs each year to ensure we consider the best combination of benefit coverage, network access and affordability for employees.
Please download and review the 2024 Benefit Guide for a summary of the benefits offered. It is important to review this guide along with the summary of benefits included on this site in order to understand each benefit and its offering.
Eligibility
If you are a regular active full-time employee or part-time employee with benefits status, you are eligible to participate in benefits offered by TMI Group. If you choose to enroll in the benefits program, you may also cover your eligible dependents. Eligible dependents include your legal spouse, child(ren) up to age 26 (regardless of student status, marital status, residence, or financial dependence on you), and an unmarried child incapable of self-support.
ADP will be used to complete your enrollment elections.
The benefit choices you make during your initial enrollment remain in effect for the entire year.
You can, however, modify your elections under certain circumstances, called "Qualifying Events". These are events such as marriage, divorce, birth or adoption of a child, loss of eligibility under another plan. If you experience a qualifying event, you may make changes to your benefits within 30 days of the event or 60 days if the event is due to birth or adoption of a child.
Refer to your Employee Benefits Guide or contact Human Resources if you have questions about qualifying events.
Medical/Rx Coverage with BlueCross Blue Shield of North Dakota

Health Savings Account
The Health Savings Account (HSA) allows you to set aside pre-tax dollars to pay for eligible expenses. By contributing to a HSA you reduce your taxable income, so you pay less in taxes, which saves you money. To be eligible for an HSA, you must be enrolled in a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP). Once you are enrolled, you will open an HSA through WEX Health.
Keep in mind the employer contribution and your contribution cannot exceed the overall IRS maximum. You may change the amount you contribute throughout the year.
Flexible Spending Accounts
TMI offers employees the opportunity to enroll in health care and dependent care flexible spending accounts (FSAs) for eligible employees, administered by Wex Health (previously Discovery Benefits). These accounts allow you to pay for eligible health and dependent care expenses with pretax dollars. By contributing to one or both of the Flexible Spending Accounts you reduce your taxable income, so you pay less in taxes — which saves you money.
Contributions
The election you make during enrollment is your election for the entire plan year. You may change it only if you have a qualifying life event and the change request must be consistent with the event.
You may contribute as follows:
Traditional Health Care FSA
- Up to $1,500 annually
- All FSA benefit eligible employees can participate, unless you or your spouse are contributing to an HSA
- Reimbursements allowed for qualified medical, RX, dental, and vision expenses.
Limited Health Care FSA
- Up to $1,500 annually
- All FSA benefit eligible employees enrolled in the HSA can participate.
- Reimbursements allowed for qualified dental and vision expenses.
Dependent Care FSA
- Up to $5,000 annually
- Limited to $2,500 if you are married and file separate tax returns.
- Dependent Care allows employees to use pre-tax dollars to pay for incurred childcare expenses (such as: daycare, nanny, after-school care, etc.)
How the Plan Works
You must incur your eligible expenses during the plan year — January 1 to December 31. An expense is considered to be incurred when the service is performed, not when you are billed or pay for the service. You do, however, have until March 30th annually to file your claims. Any funds after March 30 unclaimed will be forfeited.
