HEALTH CARE REFORM

Page 9: Benefits Annual Enrollment Meeting  Effective January 1, 2014

© 2010 Wittenberg University Springfield, Ohio 45501

Health Care Reform•Health Care Reform- also called Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act or PPACA became law in 2010.•PPACA changes already in place:

•No pre-existing conditions for children•Full coverage for preventive care•Extended coverage for adult dependent children•No limits on plan benefits

•Beginning in 2014 PPACA requires most individuals to obtain acceptable health insurance for themselves and their family members or pay a penalty. The penalty will start at $95 per person or up to 1% of household income. •Wittenberg’s benefit plan is affordable and meets the minimum value as required under PPACA. •Since the Wittenberg plan is affordable and meets the minimum value, Wittenberg employees will not be eligible for a subsidy through the healthcare marketplace exchanges.

Glossary of Terms• Co-pay – The amount you pay each time you see a doctor, get a prescription

filled, or get other services. A copay is a flat fee ($20) for medical services.

• Deductible – The amount you must pay each year before your plan pays anything toward co-insurance.

• Co-insurance – A percentage that you pay after you have met your plan’s deductible. The plan pays a certain percentage (90%) and you pay a certain percentage (10%).

• Out-of- pocket limit – The most you have to pay each year for expenses covered by your plan. It traditionally includes the deductible and coinsurance amounts. Once you reach this amount, you do not pay anything for most services. New for 2014: $20 Co-payments will apply toward the out-of pocket

limit.

Deductibles and Out-of-Pocket Limit

Deductible The $400/$800 deductible simultaneously applies to both in and out-of-network services. In other words, there is not a separate deductible for out-of-network.

Out-of-Pocket Limit (“OOPL”) There is a separate out-of-pocket limit for in-network and out-of-network co-insurance expenses.

• Co-insurance and copay costs for services received in-network only apply to the in-network OOPL. The in-network OOPL is $1,200/$2,000

•Co-insurance costs for services received out-of- network only apply to the out-of-network OOPL. The out-of –network OOPL is $1,300/$2,200

FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNTS

Page 32: Benefits Annual Enrollment Meeting  Effective January 1, 2014

Flexible Spending Account (FSA)

TASC Third Party Administrator

www.tasconline.com

A flexible spending account (FSA), is a tax-advantaged financial account that allows an employee to set aside a portion of earnings to pay for qualified medical and dependent care expenses. Money deducted from an employee's pay into an FSA is not subject to payroll taxes resulting in substantial payroll tax savings. One significant disadvantage to using an FSA is that funds not used bythe end of the plan year are lost to the employee, known as the "use it or lose it" rule.

Page 33: Benefits Annual Enrollment Meeting  Effective January 1, 2014

© 2010 Wittenberg University Springfield, Ohio 45501

Flexible Spending Account, cont. • Estimate your expenses carefully:

• On an annual basis, determine how much you want to contribute toward your FSA account(s) for the calendar year.

• You cannot change your election(s) during the calendar year unless you have a qualifying event.

• You cannot transfer money from one account to another.

• You have a grace period of three months after the end of the calendar year to submit claims for eligible expenses incurred during the previous calendar year. Funds left in your account after the three month grace period will be forfeited (often called the “use-it-or-lose-it” rule).

Page 34: Benefits Annual Enrollment Meeting  Effective January 1, 2014

Health Care FSA

• $2,500 annual contribution limit

• You have immediate access to your full election at the beginning of the calendar year even though the full election has not been deducted from your pay.
