FAQ's

WHat happens if i change my medical plan?​

If you change your medical plan, the amount accumulated towards your benefit limits or maximums as of September 30 may carry over to your new benefit effective October 1.

When you move from a non-HSA plan to another non-HSA plan (i.e. 80% M $40 to 80% J $30) OR an HSA plan to another HSA plan (i.e. MEC HSA to HSA B)...
The amounts accumulated toward your medical and prescription deductibles and out of pocket maximums through September 30 WILL be applied to your elected benefit as of October 1.

When you move from an HSA plan to a non-HSA plan (i.e. MEC HSA to 80% J $30)...
The amount accumulated toward your deductible and out-of-pocket maximums for medical claims incurred through September 30 WILL be applied to your elected benefit as of October 1.  Prescription claims are not eligible to transfer. Depending on your accumulator totals, you may or may not have any additional deductible and/or out-of-pocket amount to meet as of October 1. Your limits will reset on January 1 when the annual plan limit cycle begins.

When you move from a non-HSA plan to an HSA plan (i.e. 80% J $30 to MEC HSA)...
The amounts accumulated toward your deductible and out-of-pocket maximums through September 30 WILL NOT be applied to your elected benefit as of October 1, in accordance with IRS regulations.  Your HSA plan deductible and out-of-pocket limits will reset to $0 on October 1 and again on January 1 when the annual plan limit cycle begins.
