Medical & Rx

Cigna

Cigna will continue to be your medical and prescription carrier. You have the choice between three plans for the 2024 plan year. The three plan options include two PPO Copay plans and a QHDHP plan. View the Providers & Networks for more information on how these plans networks differ from each other as well as buttons to locate participating providers.


If you are already enrolled in one of the Cigna medical plans today and have not already done so, please be sure to register through the Cigna member portal where you can access important information pertaining to your medical plans including participating providers, cost estimates for services, explanation of benefits/claims, and your accumulation amounts for deductibles and out-of-pocket costs. If you are not currently covered, you will be able to register in the Cigna portal as of your effective date of coverage. Visit the website using the button below to register.

You can go online to see the most up-to-date list of medications your plan covers. Go to myCigna App or myCigna.com, click on the Find Care & Costs tab, select Price a Medication, and type in your medication name.


Use Cigna.com/PDL to access your Cigna Advantage 4-tier prescription drug list (all specialty medications covered on tier 4). You can also determine whether there may be lower cost alternatives for your prescriptions.


Helpful Rx Cost Saving Tools & Tips!

Mail Order - Many drugs are available in a 90-day supply, rather than the 30-day retail supply. Typically, mail order drugs are subject to two-times the standard 30-day copays noted above, resulting in lower expenses for you. You can get more information on how to start receiving mail order drugs by clicking the mail order link below.

Ask your Doctor or Pharmacist – 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.

Accounts

Rocky Mountain Reserve

You have the opportunity to contribute to a variety of savings and/or spending accounts on a pre-tax basis which lowers your taxable income. View the information below for important details and guidelines for the various accounts offered by Yield Solutions Group.

The Health Savings Account (HSA) allows you to set aside pre-tax dollars to pay for eligible medical, dental, and vision expenses. The HDHP Medical Plan is qualified for an HSA. By contributing to an HSA you reduce your taxable income, so you pay less in taxes — which saves you money.




HSA IRS Maximums are as follows and are on a calendar year basis. The maximums indicated below are a combined maximum for participant and any employer provided funds to the HSA. If you elect the HSA plan mid-year, maximums are prorated based on your effective date in the HSA plan.

$4,150 for a single contract | $8,300 for a two person or family

$1,000 "Catch Up" contribution for those age 55+

The Flexible Spending Account (FSA) allows you to set aside pre-tax dollars to pay for eligible medical and/or dental and vision expenses. The nice part about an FSA is you have access to the full annualized amount on day one!

The election you make cannot be changed throughout the year unless the change aligns with the qualifying event. For example, if you get married, you can increase your contribution, however, you cannot decrease or end your FSA for this type of life event.


There are two types of FSA options:

  • General Purpose FSA: To pay for qualifying medical, dental, and vision expenses. This type of FSA is only available if you do not have an HSA.
  • Limited Purpose FSA: To pay for qualifying dental, vision, and post-deductible medical expenses. This type of FSA is available for those who have an HSA.


Plan Details are as follows:

  • You can contribute up to $3,050 annually.
  • At the end of the 2024 plan year, if you have not used all of your FSA funds, a maximum of $640 will carry over into next year's FSA plan (should you elect an FSA for the 2025 plan year).
  • You have 90 days after the end of the plan year to submit for expenses that occurred on or before 12/31/2023.
  • If you are enrolled in an HSA plan, you will be eligible for the Limited Purpose FSA only which can be used for qualifying dental, vision, and post-deductible medical expenses.
  • You have access to your full annualized election amount on day one.

The Dependent Care Reimbursement Account (DCRA) allows you to set aside pre-tax dollars to pay for eligible dependent care expenses. Qualifying expenses include daycare, nursery & preschool tuition, summer day camps, and more!

The election you make cannot be changed throughout the year unless the change aligns with the qualifying event. For example, you can increase your contribution if you add another member to your family through birth or adoption, however, you cannot decrease your contribution for this type of life event.


Plan Details are as follows:

  • You can contribute up to $5,000 annually or limited to $2,500 if you are married and file separate tax returns.
  • The plan includes a Grace Period which allows you to incur and submit expenses using your 2024 funds until March 15, 2025.

Dental

Cigna

Yield Solution Group's dental plans provide comprehensive coverage to help you and your family maintain good dental health. The dental plans include both in and out of network benefits. Although your cost sharing is the same in and out of network, if you do go out of network it is likely that you will experience balance billing.


If you are already enrolled in one of the Cigna plans today and have not already done so, please be sure to register through the Cigna member portal where you can access important information pertaining to your dental plan with Cigna including participating providers, coverage information, and explanation of benefits/claims. If you are not currently covered, you will be able to register in the Cigna portal as of your effective date of coverage.
