Human Resources: Benefits: Deductibles - Did You Know?

Reminder: Even if you don't want to make any changes, you still need to enroll for the next benefit plan year. 

With annual benefit enrollment half way complete, did you know these things about our offered medical deductible plans?  

• Annual enrollment is the only time you can change your deductible – the Agency offers either the $750 or $1,500 deductible plans. 
• When considering which deductible plan to enroll in, you should remember there is absolutely no difference in the coverage, both plans offer exactly the same coverage. 
• When considering family plan deductible amounts, keep in mind that a family plan on the $750 deductible is $750 per person or $1,500 per family towards the deductible, and the $1,500 deductible is $1,500 per person or $3,000 per family towards the deductible.  
• Only the $1,500 deductible plan offers an HRA. The HRA (Health Reimbursement Arrangement) is a contribution from the Agency you can use towards your out-of-pocket medical, dental, vision and/or prescription costs. 
• HR has updated its “Contact Us” page on the Intranet under the Human Resources link. The page has been laid out differently in order to make it easier for you to search for the topic you need assistance with. Check it out by going to the Intranet > Human Resources > Contact Guide.
