  11. Health Reimbursement Account  Exp is offering employees a Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) on the high deductible plan option only to help offset the costs associated with out of pocket expenses.  The company will be adding an annual contribution of $500 automatically to your HRA on January 1. You can use this money for co-pays, deductibles, or other out of pocket costs associated with qualified medical, dental, or vision expenses. You will receive a debit card to access the money.  You are able to earn an additional $500 one time contribution into your HRA fund. Each employee that completes an on-line Health Risk Assessment will be eligible for an additional $500 contribution to the HRA.  Spouses and dependents can use Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) funds only if they are enrolled in a health plan that meets the minimum standards of the ACA (either with exp or elsewhere). Spouses and dependents with no proper health insurance coverage will not qualify for HRA use.  HRA funds do not roll-over into next plan year. Unused HRA funds will be forfeited at the end of the plan year.  If you elect the Healthcare FSA also, your HRA funds will be used first. 10

  12. Health Risk Assessment  A Health Risk Assessment provides you with an individual wellness score that measures your overall health, will take about 20 minutes to complete, and includes 50 standard lifestyle questions.  The Assessment is confidential, and you only need to complete the Assessment, not achieve a certain score.  To start the Health Risk Assessment, you will need to set up an account at www.myuhc.com. w.myuhc.com  No need to submit proof upon completion, balances to the HRA will automatically be credited the additional $500 on a monthly 11 basis.

  13. Scans and Therapies  Scans and Therapies are major diagnostic services such as MRI, CT Scan, PET Scan, MRA and Nuclear Medicine.  They are typically performed at a hospital or out-patient center, and sometimes in a doctor’s office.  They can cost several hundred dollars or more (if in- network, more if out-of-network.)  Use the Treatment Cost Estimator on myUHC.com to determine what your cost will be.  Regardless of where the test is done, the benefits are subject to Deductible, then Coinsurance, even if performed in a doctor’s office (“Covered” does not mean “Paid at 100%.”) ## 12

  14. Saving money on Prescriptions Mail Order Prescription Benefits:  You can order a 3 month supply of medicine to be shipped to you for only the cost of 2.5 co-pays.  This saves you time and money for medicines you take on a routine basis. Generic Medications:  Several pharmacies now offer special prescription programs, including $4 generic drugs and free antibiotics.  Generic drugs contain the same active ingredients and are available in the same strength and dosage form as their brand- name counterparts but could cost up to 50% less. 13
