HSA helps offset the cost of a HDHP while saving for your out-of-pocket eligible health care expenses. The HSA is your personal bank account and can be used for you and your dependents now and in the future.Why Is It A Good Idea To Have An HSA?HSAs benefit everyone who are eligible to have this account, including single individuals, families and soon-to-be retirees. You save money on taxes in three ways:• Tax-Free Deposits: The money you contribute to your HSA isn't taxed (up to the IRS annual limit)• Tax-Free Earnings: Your interest and any investment earnings grow tax-free• Tax-Free Withdrawals: The money used toward eligible health care expenses isn't taxed now or in the futureSetting aside pre-tax dollars into your HSA means you pay fewer taxes and increase your take-home pay by your tax savings. You save money on eligible expenses that you are paying for out of your pocket. The amount you save depends on your tax bracket. For example, if you are in the 30% tax bracket, you can save $30 on every $100 spent on eligible health care expenses.HSA funds roll over from year to year and accumulate in your account. There is no "use-it-or-lose-it" rule with HSAs, and you decide how and when to use your HSA funds, which can be used for eligible expenses you have now, in the future, or during retirement. Also, when you have a certain balance in your HSA, investment opportunities are available.Who is Eligible?You are eligible to contribute to an HSA if:• You are enrolled in a qualified HDHP• You are not enrolled in a copay plan such as a spouse’s non-HDHP, Medicare, Medicaid or Tri-Care• You or your spouse is not enrolled in a full purpose Health Care Flexible Spending AccountRefer to your HSA documentation for more information.HSA Contribution LimitsYou can contribute to your Optum Bank HSA on a pre-tax basis through payroll deductions up to the IRS statutory maximums. These maximums include the employer contribution of $25 per month. The IRS has established the following maximum HSA contributions:2023 Tax Year 2024 Tax Year$3,850 Individual / $7,750 Family $4,150 Individual / $8,300 FamilyIf you are age 55 and over, you may contribute an extra $1,000 catch-up contribution.

Break Bread Ventures will reimburse up to $2,000/individual and $4,000/family after you have satisfied the first $1,000 of your deductible.Eligible ExpensesOnly eligible expenses can be reimbursed under your HRA. These expenses are defined by the IRS rules and by the Break Bread Ventures plan. Learn more about eligible HRA expenses by reading the Summary Plan Description (SPD).Eligible expenses are those that you pay for out of your pocket for medical care that's provided to you, your spouse, and eligible dependents.

Know Your BenefitsBrought to you by: Sentinel Risk Advisors, LLCMedical Insurance InformationDeductible: A deductible is the amount of money you or your dependents must pay toward a health claim before your organization’s health plan makes any payments for health care services rendered. For example, a plan participant with a $100 deductible would be required to pay the first $100, in total, of any claims during a plan year.Copayment (Copay): A copay is a flat fee you pay upfront for doctor visits, prescriptions, and other healthcare services. It does not count toward your deductible. Coinsurance: On top of your deductible, coinsurance is a provision in your health plan that shows what percentage of a medical bill you pay and the percentage a health plan pays.Out-of-pocket Maximum (OOPM): An OOPM is the maximum amount (deductible and coinsurance) that you will have to pay for covered expenses under a plan. Once the OOPM is reached the plan will cover eligible expenses at 100 percent.Explanation of Benefits (EOB): An EOB is a description your insurance carrier sends to you explaining the health care benefits that you received and the services for which your health care provider has requested payment.Preferred Provider Organization (PPO): A PPO is a group of hospitals and physicians that contract on a fee-for-service basis with insurance companies to provide comprehensive medical service. If you have a PPO, your out-of-pocket costs may be lower than in a non-PPOplan.High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP): An HDHP is a type of insurance plan that offers a low premium offset by a high deductible. Because of the low cost of the plan, the insurer will not cover most medical expenses until the deductible is met. As an exception, preventive care services are typically covered before the deductible is met. HDHPs are often designed to be compatible with heath savings accounts (HSAs), which are tax-advantaged accounts that can be used to pay for qualified out-of-pocket medical expenses before the HDHP’s deductible ismet.This Know Your Benefits article is provided by Sentinel Risk Advisors, LLC and is to be used for informational purposes only and is not intended to replace the advice of an insurance professional. © 2005, 2011, 2013-2014, 2020 Zywave, Inc.

For frames, a typical allowance is $150. In that case if you choose frames that cost less than $150, you pay nothing. If you choose frames that cost more than $150, you’ll pay the difference. So, for frames that cost $170, you’ll pay $20 at the doctor’s office.Frequency: How often you can get an exam or eyewear with your VSP network doctor.Lens Enhancement: A lens enhancement or lens option is an elective feature for your prescription lenses designed to improve your overall experience with your glasses.
