Premier Savings Plan: How does it work?

The Premier Savings Medical Plan is a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP)

which is HSA compatible. How does an HDHP work?

• Preventive care is covered at 100%

• Meet your deductible first – Deductible is the amount that you must pay

before the plan begins to pay out ($1,500 for individual / $3,000 for

Employee +1 or more dependents)

• Note: If family coverage is selected, the entire family deductible must

be met before plan pays benefits for any individual. The deductible may

be satisfied with a single claim for one person or by a combination of

claims from all family members.

• After the deductible is satisfied, you will pay coinsurance for most

services. Coinsurance when using a network provider is 20%.

• The out-of-pocket maximum is designed to protect you from catastrophic

costs ($2,500 for individual / $5,000 for family)

• If you have established an HSA account, you can use the funds in it to pay

your deductible and coinsurance expenses.

Confidential and Proprietary. © 2016 UST Global Inc.

Premier Savings Plan: How does my HSA Work?

18

A Health Savings Account (HSA) allows you to set aside funds

on a pre-tax basis. Use the funds in your HSA to pay for

eligible medical, dental and vision expenses (i.e. deductible

and coinsurance).

Features of a Health Savings Account (HSA):

• HSA account is owned by you, so the money is always yours

to keep even if you should you change health plans, change

employers or transfer out of U.S.

• Money in the HSA may be used to pay for expenses as they

are incurred, or saved for future expenses

• Unused amounts roll over to the next year, no “use it or

lose it” rule

IRS limits: The maximum amount that you can contribute to

an HSA in 2017 is:

• $3,400 for those enrolled with individual coverage.

• $6,750 for those enrolled with family coverage.

Premier Savings Plan: Establishing your HSA Account

20

The HSA account continues to be offered through HSA Bank

Those enrolled in the Premier Savings Plan are eligible to

establish an HSA account. These plan members will receive

a Welcome kit in the mail from HSA Bank with instructions

on how to complete the enrollment process

If you enroll in the HDHP, you are not eligible to contribute

to both an HSA and FSA Health Care account. You must

contribute to one or the other.
