THE INSURANCE PIECE
Access to a network of Aetna contracted
providers
Meritain processes your claims
Meritain provides customer service
THE HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT
PIECE

Meritain Financial Custodian
Health Equity
What does Health Equity handle vs. Meritain if I enroll in the
$1,350 Deductible Option?
Q:\2014\GBS\17\NicheName\20\DCN#.pptx
Why Enroll in the $1,350 HDHP with the Health Savings
Account (HSA)?
HDHP $1,350 per pay period cost will be $10 for employee only coverage and the District will
contribute $14.14 per pay period to the e plo ee’s Health Savi gs Accou t (H.S.A). Total District
contribution toward the HDHP plan including the H.S.A. contribution matches the $364.90 per
month.
Lower premiums offer an affordable cost option to cover dependents
You can make pre-tax contributions via payroll deduction and receive tax free distributions for
eligible expenses
Once enrolled, you will receive a debit card to pull money from the savings account to pay for
qualified medical expenses
You own the savings account and the money stays with you
The balance rolls over from one year to the next (no use-it-or-lose-it rule)
Use the funds in your HSA account to cover eligible expenses for your dependents even if they are
not covered under your Amphitheater medical plan!!!
Long-term savings for healthcare expenses after retirement
* Note you will have a $3.95 fee charged to your bank account if you have funds in your HSA and terminate the HDHP $1,300 or if you move to another medical plan
