These dollars also reduce your deductible and maximum out-of-pocket expenses • You do not pay co-pays under this plan but co-insurance whether it is for your prescription drugs, office visits or surgery • Any dollars not used at the end of the year roll over to the next year • 100 percent coverage for preventive care and the cost of these services do not come out of your HRA dollars

Once these dollars have been exhausted YOU must satisfy the rest of your deductive before more benefits are paid. This is the blue box.
