> Death of your spouse or covered child

When Coverage EndsCoverage will stop on the last day of the month in which employment with the company ends.
Why do I pay for benefits with before-tax money?
There is a definite advantage to paying for some
benefits with before-tax money:
Taking the money out before your taxes are
calculated lowers the amount of your pay that is
taxable. Therefore, you pay less in taxes.
Key Benefit TermsCOBRA – A Federal law that allows workers and dependents who lose their medical, dental, or vision coverage to continue any of these coverages for a specified length of time by electing and paying for continuation benefits.Coinsurance – The percentage of the medical or dental charge that you pay after the deductible has been met.Copayment – A flat fee that you pay for medical services, regardless of the actual amount charged by your doctor or another provider.

Frequently Asked Questions About Your Medical Plan
Q. What should I do if I have a problem getting a claim paid?
A. Start by contacting the carrier’s member services number to determine the
nature of the problem. If the issue is the way the doctor or other service provider has
billed the claim, then contact your doctor or Claims Advocate at USI. If the insurance
company has an eligibility issue, contact Human Resources for assistance.
Q. What is the difference between brand formulary, brand non-formulary, and
generic drugs?
A. Brand formulary is a prescription drug that is listed on the formulary (i.e., a list of
prescription drugs covered by the plan). These drugs are protected by a patent issued
to the original innovator or marketer. Brand non-formulary drugs are patent protected
but are not listed. A generic equivalent drug can become available when the patent
protection runs out, and is deemed equal in therapeutic power to the brand name
originals.
Q. When should I go the Urgent Care vs. Emergency Room?
A. For non-life threatening injury/illness after normal doctor’s office hours.
Prescription Drug Benefits at a Reduced Cost – Did you know you can obtain prescription drugs at local retailers at a reduced cost and sometimes even free? Publix offers a variety of generic Oral Antibiotic medications to you absolutely free. Bring in your prescription for an approved medication and receive it FREE, up to a 14-day supply. Publix recently approved a medication for diabetes. Walgreens, WalMart, Winn-Dixie & Sam’s Club also offer generic prescriptions for $4 and a 90 day supply for approx. $10 . Remember DO NOT show your ID card to receive these benefits, or you will be charged your insurances drug rate.
In addition to the network of physicians, hospitals, emergency rooms, and urgent care clinics, you also have the option of going to the convenient care clinics located within some grocery and drug stores, for minor illness such as ear aches, colds, flu and so on. By selecting one of these providers, you pay only the regular office visit copay; a significant savings over the emergency room and urgent care copayments.
Please visit the various websites for locations, hours of operations and scope of services.

Health Savings Accounts(HSA)
Health Savings AccountsA health savings account (HSA) is an account funded to help you save for future medical expenses not covered by your insurance plan, including the deductible, coinsurance and even vision and dental expenses. You must be enrolled in a HSA compatible health plan to be eligible, there are certain advantages to putting money into these accounts, including favorable tax treatment and the ability to roll unused funds over from year to year.
Who Can Have an HSA?Any adult can contribute to an HSA if you:
· Have coverage under an HSA-qualified, high-deductible health plan (HDHP)· Have no other first-dollar medical coverage (other types of insurance, including specific injury or accident,
disability, dental care, vision care, or long-term care insurance are permitted)· Are not enrolled in Medicare or Tricare· Cannot be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return
Contributions to your HSA would be made by you. The total contributions are limited annually. If you make a contribution, you can deduct the contributions (even if you do not itemize deductions) when completing your federal income tax return.Contributions to the account must stop once you are enrolled in Medicare. However, you can keep the money in your account and use it to pay for medical expenses tax-free.
HDHPsYou must have coverage under the Baer's Furniture HDHP to open and contribute to an HSA.
HSA ContributionsYou can make a contribution to your HSA each year that you are eligible. Contributions from all sources can be no more than:
· Self-only coverage: $3,450 in 2018 · Family coverage: $6,900 in 2018
Individuals ages 55 and older can also make additional “catch-up” contributions. The maximum annual catch-up contribution is $1,000.

Frequently Asked Questions About HSA Plan UsageHow do I manage my HSA?Your Health Savings Account (HSA) is your account; the HSA dollars are your dollars. Since you are the account holder or HSA beneficiary, you manage your HSA account. You may choose when to use your HSA dollars or when not to use your HSA dollars. HSA dollars pay for any eligible expense. Most commonly, the HSA account holder will use HSA dollars to pay the out-of-pocket expenses (i.e., deductible and coinsurance) associated with their high deductible plan.
What expenses are eligible for reimbursement from my HSA?HSA dollars may be used for qualified medical expenses incurred by the account holder and his or her spouse and dependents. Qualified medical expenses are outlined within IRS Section 213(d). In summary the IRS Section 213(d) states that “the expense has to be primarily for the prevention or alleviation of a physical or mental defect or illness”. In addition to qualified medical expenses, the following insurance premiums may be reimbursed from an HSA:
· COBRA premiums· Health insurance premiums while receiving unemployment Benefits· Any health insurance premiums paid, other than for a Medicare supplemental policy, by individuals ages 65
and over
Are dental and vision care qualified medical expenses under an HSA?Yes, as long as these are deductible under the current rules. For example, cosmetic procedures, like cosmetic dentistry, would not be considered qualified medical expenses.
What expenses are NOT eligible for reimbursement from my HSA?The following expenses may not be reimbursed from an HSA:
· Premiums for Medicare supplemental policies· Expenses covered by another insurance plan· Expenses incurred prior to the date the HSA was established· Over-the-counter drugs purchased without a prescription (except insulin)
What is a coverage gap?This is the gap between total out-of-pocket expenses associated with your high-deductible health plan and your HSA dollars. For example, assume that you have a $2,000 deductible, a $4,000 maximum out-of-pocket, and either you or your employer has contributed $2,000 to your HSA account. If your medical costs incurred exceed $4,000 for the year, then you are financially obligated to pay the difference between your total maximum out-of-pocket ($4,000) and your HSA balance ($2,000) - ($4,000 - $2,000 = $2,000)
What happens when my HSA funds run out?You may be financially responsible for any eligible medical expenses that fall within the coverage gap.
Can I use my HSA dollars for non-eligible expenses?Money withdrawn from an HSA account to reimburse non-eligible medical expenses is taxable income to the account holder and subject to a 20 percent tax penalty - unless over age 65, disabled or upon death of the account holder.
When can I start using my HSA dollars?You can use your HSA dollars immediately following your HSA account activation and once contributions have been made.
11
How do I pay my physician or network facility at time of service with my HSA dollars?You may request that the network provider submit your claim to your health plan. You should make sure that your provider has your most up-to-date insurance information. Once the medical claim has been processed, if applicable, out-of-pocket expenses will be billed. At this time you may choose to use your HSA Debit card to pay for any out-of-pocket expenses, or you may choose to pay with your own money and receive reimbursement at a later date. You should always ask that your medical claim be submitted to the health plan before you seek reimbursement from your HSA. This procedure will ensure that provider discounts are applied. Also, remember to keep all medical receipts and Explanation of Benefits (EOBs) for tax purposes.
What if I have HSA dollars left in my account at year-end?The money is yours to keep. It will continue to be available for you and your health care costs next year.
What happens to my HSA dollars if I leave Baer's Furniture?The funds are yours to keep. You may elect one of the following options:
· Leave your funds in your current HSA account· Transfer your funds to an HSA with your new employer· Transfer your funds to another qualifying account within 60 days
Can I use the money in my account to pay for my dependents’ medical expenses?You can use the money in your account to pay for medical expenses for yourself, your spouse or your dependent children. You can pay for the unreimbursed expenses of your spouse and dependent children even if they are not covered by your HDHP.
Can couples establish a “joint” account and both make contributions to the account, including “catch-up” contributions?“Joint” HSA accounts are not permitted. Each spouse should consider establishing an account in their own name. This allows you both to make catch-up contributions when each spouse is 55 or older.
My employer offers an FSA – can I have both an FSA and an HSA?You can have both types of accounts, but only under certain circumstances. General Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) will probably make you ineligible for an HSA. If your employer offers a “limited purpose” (limited to dental, vision or preventive care) or “post-deductible” (pay for medical expenses after the plan deductible is met) FSA, then you can still be eligible for an HSA.
Can I shift my IRA funds to my HSA?Owners of individual retirement accounts that are enrolled in a high-deductible health plan can shift IRA funds to an HSA without facing a tax penalty. The IRS allows a one-time transfer that does not exceed your maximum HSA contribution limit.
Can I borrow against the money in my HSA?No. You may not borrow against it or pledge the funds in it. For more information on prohibited activities see Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code.
