Enrollment Letter- Important Information

ALASKA CONFERENCE OF CATHOLIC BISHOPS 1

1

Dear Employee,

Your Employer participates in a cooperative group called the Alaska Conference of Catholic Bishops, or ACCB,

in order to provide Quality Health Benefits to our employees and their families. Our Health plans are administrated

by Christian Brothers Services, a Catholic Healthcare Trust.

ACCB is providing this packet to help you make informative decisions regarding your personal healthcare, and

options available for your dependents. Your Healthcare choices can only be adjusted during the “Open Enrollment”

period, unless there is a “qualified event” during the year.

Every eligible employee MUST “Re-Enroll” or “Waive” during this time to continue coverage.

This Special “Mid Year” - Open Enrollment begins November 15, 2017 and ends December 20, 2017

During the Open Enrollment period, you will have the opportunity to add, change or drop your health plan for

yourself or your dependents. This includes adding family members who are not currently enrolled in our group

insurance program, as well as increasing coverage for those members already participating.

Any change to benefits will be effective January 1, 2018.

The Open Enrollment period will close December 20, 2017. No exceptions. If you have any questions, please

contact the appropriate person in your parish, school or agency, or call Lalena Kruckeberg @ (907)297-7778

Eligibility

An employee must work 30 hours or more per week (on average over a 6 month period) in order to be

eligible for health insurance benefits.

A benefit eligible person may not waive insurance in lieu of additional compensation in wages, nor may an

employer make such an offer.

The option for a non-benefit eligible employee to purchase our insurance plan is not available.

Employee benefits are effective the first day of the month following a 30 day waiting period from their date

of hire. (ie: if hire date= May 28 (+ 30 days)= June 28 then the insurance effective date is July 1)

Spouse/Dependent coverage is available for purchase. Dependents qualify until the age of 26, married or

unmarried. If adding spouse or dependents, documentation must be provided. (Marriage Certificate

(spouse), and/or Birth certificate(s) for dependent(s))

Medical - “Buy-up” Lower Deductible Health Plan ($500 deductible) 75% coverage in network

Dental PPO - $1,500 allowance /$50 deductible

Vision-VSP Choice Plan - $10 Exam/$25 Eyeglasses

Medical Plan - Consult a Doctor - 4e

What is an HSA?

HSA What is it? A Health Savings Account is a personal bank account to help you save and pay for

covered health care services and qualified medical expenses. How do I get it? You have to sign up for a high deductible health plan that meets a deductible

amount set by the IRS. You also have to meet other IRS guidelines to be eligible to have it. You can learn about these at irs.gov.

Who owns it? You do. Who puts money in it? You. Your employer, family, and others can put money into it if they choose. How is money put in it? You can make deposits like you do with other personal bank accounts. Your

employer and family can also put money into the account. Your employer may allow you to deposit money straight from your paycheck, before the money is taxed.

Is there a limit on how much I can put in it?

Yes. The IRS sets a limit on how much you can put into it each year. You can usually find the limits in your health plan documents and at irs.gov. While there are annual limits, there is no limit to how much you can save over time.

If I don’t spend it all this year, can I use it next year?

Yes. Since you own the account, the money will stay in it until you choose to spend it. You can save and use it into retirement.

Can I cash it out at any point? Yes. But if you cash it out and do not use the money for qualified medical expenses, you will have to pay taxes on it. And you may also have to pay a 20% tax penalty.

Can I keep it if I leave my employer? What happens to the money?

Yes. You own the account.

When can I start spending it? You can start spending the HSA once you have signed up for a high-deductible health plan and have opened the account.

Do I have to pay taxes on it? No. You don’t have to pay federal or, in most instances, state income taxes on: - Deposits you or others make to an HSA - Money you spend from an HSA on qualified medical expenses - Interest earned from an HSA If you put money into an HSA using pre-tax payroll deposits through your employer You don’t have to pay Social Security taxes on it either.

If I don’t spend it, will it earn interest for me?

Yes, an HSA can earn interest. But the amount you can earn depends on the bank you use and how much you have in the account.

What can I pay for with it? You can pay for hundreds of qualified medical expenses, which are determined by the IRS. This can include services covered by a health plan. You can also use it to pay for dental, vision and many other health care services and supplies that are listed under Section 213(d) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Can I use it for things other than health care?

No, as long as you are under the age of 65. And if you use it for services that aren’t qualified medical expenses, you could pay a 20% penalty tax. If you are over the age of 65, you can use it for pretty much anything.

Can I have any other accounts with it?

Yes. You can have a limited-purpose Flexible Spending Account or limited-purpose HRA, which can only be used for eligible dental and vision services.

Can I use it to pay for Extension of Benefit plan premiums or other plan premiums?

Yes.

What’s the difference between a qualified medical expense and an eligible medical expense? A qualified medical expense is a health care service, treatment or item that the IRS says can be purchased without

having to pay taxes. An eligible medical expense is a health care service, treatment or item that the IRS says can be covered or reimbursed

(paid back) by a benefit plan.
