Please note: Once you have made your elections, you will not be able to change them until the next open enrollment period unless you have a qualified change in status.

  4. MEDICAL & PHARMACY United Healthcare You have the option of two medical plans, a traditional PPO Plan with copays and a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) that may make you eligible to contribute to a Health Savings Account (HSA). You may see any physician you like, but you will receive a greater benefit by using a physician that participates in the United Healthcare Choice Plus network. Both plans cover preventive care at 100% according to the US Preventive Services Task Force list.

  5. HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT Health savings accounts (HSAs) are a great way to save money and budget for qualified medical expenses. HSAs are tax-advantaged savings accounts that accompany high deductible health plans (HDHPs). Biovation Labs will be offering a Health Savings Account from Optum Bank to accompany the United Healthcare HDHP Plan. If you currently have an HSA, you can continue to use it. If you would like to change your account to Optum, we will provide you the information needed to do so. What are the Benefits of an HSA? There are many benefits of using an HSA, including the following: It saves you money. HDHPs have lower monthly premiums, meaning less money is being taken out of your paycheck. It is portable. The money in your HSA is carried over from year to year and is yours to keep, even if you leave the company. It is a tax-saver. HSA contributions are made with pre-tax dollars. Since your taxable income is decreased by your contributions, you’ll pay less in taxes. The maximum amount that you can contribute to an HSA in 2019 is $3,500 for individual coverage and $7,000 for family coverage. In 2020, these maximums increase to $3,550 for individual coverage and $7,100 for family coverage. Additionally, if you are age 55 or older, you may make an additional ”catch-up” contribution of $1,000. You may change your contribution amount at any time throughout the year as long as you don’t exceed the annual maximum.

  6. FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNT What is a Healthcare FSA? An FSA is an employer-sponsored savings account for health care expenses. You are not taxed on the money put into the FSA, and you can then use the account to pay for qualified out-of-pocket health care costs, such as your deductible and copays, but not your premium. What are the Benefits of an FSA? There are a variety of different benefits of using an FSA, including the following: It saves you money. Allows you to put aside money tax-free that can be used for qualified medical expenses. It’s a tax-saver. Since your taxable income is decreased by your contributions, you’ll pay less in taxes. It is flexible. You can use your FSA funds at any time, even if it’s the beginning of the year. The 2020 plan year is a short plan year that will last from January 1, 2020 through November 30, 2020. The maximum amount that you can contribute to your FSA for the short 2020 plan year is $2,475.As a reminder, you cannot stockpile money in your FSA. If you do not use it, you lose it. You should only contribute the amount of money you expect to pay out of pocket that year. You may carryover up to $500 of unused funds into the subsequent plan year. What is a Dependent Care FSA? Dependent Care FSAs allow you to contribute pre-tax dollars to qualified dependent care. The 2020 plan year is a short plan year that will last from January 1, 2020 through November 30, 2020. The maximum amount you may contribute this year is $4,583.33 (or $2, 291.67 if married and filing separately). Any funds unused at the end of the year are forfeited. In general, eligible dependents include your child who is under the age of 13, or your spouse or relative who is physically or mentally incapable of self-care and lives in your home. Examples of FSA Eligible Expenses Healthcare: Doctor and pharmacy copay Hospital, surgery and lab expenses Dental, orthodontic and vision expenses Certain medical equipment Dependent Care: Care at licensed nursery school or day-care facility Before and after school care for children Certain day camps Nannies and au pairs In-home day care • FSA and HSA • You cannot contribute to both a Healthcare FSA and HSA during the same plan year. You can contribute to both an HSA and Dependent FSA during the same plan year. A complete list of FSA eligible expenses is available at www.irs.gov.

  7. DENTAL BENEFITS Delta Dental Dental benefits offered through Delta Dental are available to each full-time employee working at least 30 hours or more per week and eligible family members to cover routine care such as regular check-ups, cleanings and X-rays. Receiving dental care can protect you and your family from the high cost of dental disease and surgery. The chart below outlines the dental benefits we offer: If you are planning a dental service that may cost upwards of $200, it is recommended that your dentist file a pre-treatment review with Delta Dental. This will help you get an estimate of what your out-of-pocket cost may be prior to receiving the planned service.

  8. VISION BENEFITS EyeMed The Vision Plan entitles you to specific eye care benefits. Having vision benefits can help you maintain your vision as well as detect various health problems. Our policy covers routine eye exams and provides specified dollar amounts or discounts for the purchase of eyeglasses and contact lenses.

  9. LIFE & AD&D BENEFITS UNUM Your life insurance plan can help provide for your loved ones if something were to happen to you. Biovation Labs provides full-time employees with 1 times your annual salary to a maximum of $750,000 in group life and accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) insurance. Biovation Labs pays for the full cost of this benefit, meaning you are not responsible for paying any monthly premiums. Contact HR if you would like to update your beneficiary information. While Biovation Labs offers basic life insurance, some employees may want to purchase additional coverage. Think about your personal circumstances. Are you the sole provider for your household? What other expenses do you expect in the future (for example, college tuition for your child)? Depending on your needs, you may want to consider buying supplemental coverage. With voluntary life insurance, you are responsible for paying the full cost of coverage through biweekly payroll deductions. You can purchase coverage for yourself in $10,000 increments or for your spouse in $5,000 increments. The maximum is $500,000 or 5x your annual salary.
