The Traditional plan offers fixed copays for many services like doctor visits and prescription drugs.

MEDICAL NETWORKS
MEDICAL PLANS
If you choose the STAR HSA Medical Plan you will automatically be enrolled in an HSA savings account. Canyonlands Care Center will contribute money to your account each pay period that you can use to pay for medical expenses. You can also contribute your own money into your HSA account up to the annual limits. This can be deducted from you paycheck and/or you can contribute directly during the year.
A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a tax advantaged savings account that you own and control.
HSAs are similar to retirement accounts in that funds rollover year-to-year, it is portable if you move jobs or retire, the balance can be invested in mutual funds, and there are survivor benefits.
The HSA Advantage
› It’s a Tax Saver
• Contributions are excluded from federal income tax
• Your money grows tax-free
• Withdrawals used to pay for qualified health care expenses are also tax-free
› Ownership: The money in your HSA is always yours. Unspent balances simply roll over from
year to year until spent.
› Flexibility: You decide when and how much to contribute to your account.
› Portable: Your money stays put even if you change health plans or employers, or if you retire.
Who is eligible?
You must be enrolled in our qualified high deductible health plan (HDHP) and meet the following
requirements:
› Have no other health insurance coverage except what’s permitted by the IRS
› Not be enrolled in Medicare
› Not be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return
How much can I contribute to my HSA?
Each year the IRS establishes the maximum contribution limits (see the table below). These limits
are for the total funds contributed, including company contributions, your contributions and any
other contributions. Please keep in mind you can change your HSA allocation at any time during
the plan year.

Our Banking Partner
We have partnered with HealthEquity for HSA administration. For newly enrolled employees, your
demographic data is transmitted to the bank upon electing our qualified HDHP. HealthEquity will
mail you a welcome kit upon activating your account which will contain information about the
bank and how to use the online banking features and your debit card. If you are an existing account holder, you will continue to use your same Health Savings Account which rolls over year after year.
Please use the same debit card you currently have. The bank will automatically send
you a new debit card approximately one month before your current card expires.
Who is Eligible?
If you are hired as a full-time employee working 30 or more hours per week, coverage will begin on the first day of the month following qualified employment. You may also enroll your eligible dependents in the same plans you choose for yourself.
Eligible dependents include your legal spouse/domestic partner and your natural, adopted or step-child(ren). The dependent age limit for children on your medical plan is age 26, but may vary for other benefits offered.
When to Enroll
You can enroll for coverage as a new hire, or during our annual open enrollment period. Outside of the annual open enrollment period, the only time you can change your coverage is if you experience a qualifying life event.
How to Make Changes
Once you enroll in or decline benefits, you will not be able to make any changes to your elections until our next annual open enrollment period, unless you experience a qualified life event. Qualified life events include, but are not limited to:
› Change in your legal marital status
› Birth, adoption, placement for adoption or legal guardianship of a child
› Death of a dependent
› Change in child’s dependent status
› You or your dependent(s) become eligible or lose eligibility for Medicaid or the Children’s
Health Insurance Program (CHIP)
› Change in your dependent’s employment resulting in loss or gain of eligibility for employer
coverage
› A court or administrative order
If your qualified life event is due to loss or gain of Medicaid or CHIP coverage, you have 60 days to complete the necessary enrollment forms and return them to us. All other qualified life events must be reported to us within 30 days of the event. It is your responsibility to notify us when you have a qualified life event and would like to make changes to your benefit elections. Please do not miss this important deadline!
When Coverage Ends
For most benefits, coverage will end on the last day of the month in which your regular work schedule is reduced to fewer than 30 hours per week, your employment ends, or you stop paying your share of the coverage. Your dependent(s) coverage ends when your coverage ends, or the last day of the month in which the dependent is no longer eligible. Certain benefits may
terminate on the date of event.
