Health Net’s EZ Access plans work just like our PPO

plans: You choose whether to see a provider in ournetwork or go to an out-o -network licensed physicianor health care pro essional. When you go out-o -network, you usually pay more or the services youreceive. Either way, you don’t need a re erral rom yourdoctor to see a specialist or go to the hospital.

What’s di erent about HSA-compatible PPOs is thatthe deductible is higher but you spend less on monthly premiums. Things to know:

• The HSA-compatible insurance plan has a combinedmedical and pharmacy deductible. This means thatyou pay the ull cost o prescriptions and medicalcare (at our negotiated rates) until your annualdeductible has been met.

• The deductible for child and adult preventive carebene ts is waived (in-network only).

• The plan deductible is combined for in-network andout-o -network services.

Plus, you can open an HSA and use tax- ree dollars to pay or quali ed medical expenses.2 Other HSA advantages:

• You have complete control over your health caredollars and can use them when you like.

• Contributions (up to the IRS maximum) and withdrawals are tax- ree when used or quali edmedical or pharmacy expenses.

• HSA funds can be invested, and investment earnings arenon-taxable when used or quali ed medical expenses.

• Long-term savings, rollover features (no time limitor using the unds) and catch-up contribution or

insureds between the ages o 55 and 65.

hSA-COmPAtIblE PPOINSURANCE PlAN

Optimum Advantage HSA ng

With a calendar year deductible amount o $4,500,this high-deductible PPO insurance plan works well orpeople who don’t go to the doctor o ten but who wantprotection against the unexpected.

EZ Access HSA: a high deductible PPOinsurance plan with tax-saving opportunities

With an Optimum Advantage HSA insurance plan,there are no surprises or hidden costs, and no complicatedcopayment/coinsurance structure to gure out. A ter youmeet your calendar-year deductible, in-network bene tsare paid at 100%. Plus, you have immediate coverage orchild and adult preventive care services.

Once you’re enrolled in this plan, you may open anHSA at any bank or nancial institution that o ersthem. To make it easy, Health Net has partnered withBank o America to o er our insureds an HSA that’s
