  8. How Does the Lumenos Plan Work?

  9. Lumenos Plan with an HSA With the Lumenos plan, you have a high deductible medical plan coupled with a Health Savings Account (HSA) • You can fund your HSA with pre-tax payroll contributions or post-tax contributions (which are deductible when you file your taxes) • The money in your HSA can be used to pay for your medical care, including prescriptions that go towardsatisfying your deductible • Once you’ve satisfied your deductible the plan’s Traditional Health Coverage prescription copays kicks in.

  10. Using Your Lumenos Plan to Get Care When you visit an in-network doctor: • Show your ID card at the time of service • Typically you pay nothing at the time of service. Your provider will file a claim • You will receive a Claim Recap showing the total cost and the “allowed” cost. Your provider will then bill you for the “allowed” cost of the service(s) • If you have funds in your HSA you can pay your provider using your HSA checkbook or debit card When you visit a doctor that is not in the network: • Show your ID card at the time of service • You may be asked to pay at the time of services. • Use your HSA checkbook or debit card to pay your provider for services (provided you have the funds available) • If your provider does not file a claim on your behalf, you will need to file a claim with Anthem BCBS to ensure expenses get applied towards your out-of-pocket. You can download a claim form at anthem.com

  11. Using Your HSA Plan to Get Care When you visit a pharmacy: • Show your ID card at the pharmacy • Until you have satisfied your annual deductible you will pay the full discounted cost of your prescription drug • You can pay for your prescription at the pharmacy using your HSA debit card or checkbook as long as there are funds available in your HSA account. • After the deductible is met you will pay the applicable copays of $10/$30/$50/25%.

  12. Using your HSA for Qualified Medical Expenses

  13. Can I Use My HSA to Pay for Non-Qualified Medical Expenses? Yes, but… • Any amount you spend will be considered taxable income (you will have to pay taxes on the amount used), and you will have to pay a 20% penalty. • Non-qualified expenses will not count toward your deductible. • Once you are 65, you can withdraw the money without penalty, but it will be considered taxable income.

  14. Funding Your HSA

  15. Making Contributions to Your HSA There are several ways you can contribute to your account: • Tax-free through payroll deductions • Post-tax by personal check • When you file your taxes, you can make an adjustment to your gross income to receive the tax benefit • Anyone may contribute to your HSA, provided the total contributions to your HSA do not exceed your maximum allowable annual limit • $3,100 for individual coverage in 2012 ($3,250 in 2013) • $6,250 for family coverage in 2012 ($6,450 in 2013) • You can make catch-up contributions if you are 55 years of age or older ($1,000 for 2012 and 2013)

  16. Am I Eligible for the HSA Plan? The IRS and the U.S. Department of the Treasury have specific rules on who can open an HSA. You can open an HSA if you: • Are enrolled in the Lumenos HSA plan, because it includes an HSA-compatible health plan • Are not enrolled in Medicare or another non-qualified plan • Are not claimed as a dependent on another individual’s tax return • Are not active military • Others – refer to IRS publication 502 Note: You cannot open an HSA if you have coverage under any other health plan that is not an HSA-compatible health plan.

  17. Who is Holding the Funds in My HSA? A qualified financial institution will hold and invest the money. Hebrew Union has Partnered with 5/3. Services provided: • Your debit card and PIN • Your HSA checkbook • FDIC insurance • Monthly account statements • Year-end tax forms *If your employer has selected a financial institution to administer your HSA that is not one of Anthem’s partner banks, or you choose to have your HSA at a different bank, you will not have access to HSA information through Anthem Customer Service or the online health site. Investment rules and fees for your account may also vary.
