Best Choice Plus – PPO Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) Features both in-network and out-of-network benefits. The in-network approach allows members to seek care

without having to designate a primary care physician. As a result, it is not necessary to obtain a referral before visiting another physician or specialist.

The out-of-network portion of the plan provides the participant with the ability to see any physician or hospital, but at a greater cost.

Out-of-network ER is paid in-network if visit is a 911/emergency.

Uses Broward Health hospitals and physicians as in-network providers.

Flexible Spending Account Administration Reimbursement will occur for qualifying expenses incurred during the

2012 plan year. However, you will have until March 31, 2013 to file claims for expenses incurred for the 2012 plan year. If you terminate employment you may choose to continue your health care FSA through COBRA. Any monies remaining in a flexible spending account after the 2012 plan year claim deadline of March 31, 2013 will be forfeited. This "use it or lose it" rule is based upon Internal Revenue Services (IRS) regulations. FSA dollars are not invested and do not earn interest.

If you have any questions about potential tax savings, you should consult your tax advisor before enrolling in either program.

HSA Administration

The money in your HSA belongs to you and you keep it if you change jobs or enroll in another medical plan.

You don't have to worry about "use it or lose it" rules - in fact, the HSA operates with a "use it or keep it" philosophy. This makes it different than a Flexible Spending Account. HSA account balances "carry forward" - letting you save for future healthcare expenses, even retiree healthcare costs.

After you leave Broward Health, and you are no longer covered by a high-deductible medical plan, you cannot continue to contribute to your HSA. However, the HSA is still yours and you can use the money or save it to pay for future qualified medical expenses.

when you retire, change jobs or health plans. Provides a tax-advantaged way to save for future medical expenses. Your own HSA contribution is deductible on your income tax return if

you make additional post-tax non-payroll deductions on your own.
