Pre- Tax Enrollment Considerations
Employees are advised that some of the benefit plans offered are pre-tax benefits whereby all employee paid contributions are deducted from pre-tax earnings. When premiums are deducted on pre-tax basis, the employee's take home pay is increased because the premiums are subtracted from the gross pay before taxes are applied. Pre-tax deductions also lower the taxable income for the year by the amount of the total payroll deduction for insurance premiums.
Qualifying Event
One of the stipulations of a tax advantage plans is that coverage must remain in force until the beginning of the new plan year unless there is a qualifying event or change in family status. A qualifying event or family status change may include: ?Birth or adoption of a child ?Marriage or divorce ?Death of a spouse or dependent ?Change in spouse's employment status The qualifying event must be reported to the Vermilion Parish School Board Insurance Department along with all required documentation within 30 days of the event to ensure coverage.

Health Savings Account (HSA)
When you're choosing a health plan, there are many factors that affect your decision. If you want an option with flexibility, a high level of choice and tax-advantaged savings, a high deductible health plan with a health savings account (HSA) might be the right choice for you.
A Health Savings Account (HSA) allows individuals enrolled in a high deductible health plan to save money taxfree to pay for eligible small and routine medical expenses until the deductible and out of pocket are met. Eligible Medical Expenses Include:
Doctor's office visits and procedures Diagnostic devices (such as blood sugar test kits for diabetics) Prescription Drugs Eye surgery (such as laser eye surgery or radial keratotomy) Wheel Chairs COBRA Premiums
At the end of the year, you keep any unspent money in your HSA. This rolled over money can grow with taxdeferred investment earnings, and, if it is used to pay for qualified medical expenses, then the money will continue to be tax-free. Your HSA and the money in it belongs to you--not your employer or insurance company.
An HSA can be a tremendous asset as you save for and pay medical bills because it gives you tax advantages, more control over your own spending and the ability to save for future expenses.

Individuals enrolled in the HDHP may elect to open a Health Savings Account (HSA) through HealthEquity and have their pre-tax HSA contributions payroll deducted.

Telemedicine

Blue Care lets you see a doctor anytime, anywhere, so you can get care outside of doctors' office hours or during the day without leaving home, work or school. BlueCare is faster and less expensive than going to the ER or urgent care for minor health needs. BlueCare costs only $39 up front and is an easier way to treat non-emergency illnesses like:
Sinus infections Cough or cold Rashes Allergies Bladder infections Pink eye Mild stomach bugs (throwing up, diarrhea) Flu symptoms You can also use BlueCare to get a prescription or to check in with a doctor if you need a follow-up visit. *HDHP Participants: The $39 telemedicine visit payments will apply to plan deductible and out of pocket maximum
