Health Savings Account
If you enroll in the Consumer Driven Health Plan (CDHP), PEBP will be providing seed money into a Health Savings Account (HSA) to help offset your out of pocket expenses. If you do not qualify for a HSA, your will still receive the seed money, but it will be in the form of a Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA).
For Plan Year 2013, the PEBP Board approved using PEBP's unrestricted surplus to provide employees with one-time contributions to the HSA/HRA accounts. This one time contribution will only be available for those who are enrolled in the CDH Plan on July 1, 2012. The contributions are as follows:
| Regular HSA/HRA PEBP Contribution | One-time Contribution | Total HSA/HRA PEBP Contribution | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Participant under age 45 | $700.00 | $400.00 | $1,100.00 |
| Participant age 45 or older | $700.00 | $600.00 | $1,300.00 |
| Per Dependent (maximum of 3 dependents) | $200.00 | $100.00 | $300.00 |
You can use these contributions to pay for your out-of-pocket medical and prescription costs, including your deductible.
If you qualify for the HSA, you can also elect to contribute additional money on a pre-tax basis to your HSA to a maximum of $3100.00 if you have participant only coverage or $6,250.00 if you have family (two or more individuals) coverage. Please note that the PEBP contribution is included in this limit.
