Your CDHP anD Hsa
At The Hartford, we offer competitive benefits and programs to help you live well—and coverage options that give you control over how you spend your health care dollars. The Consumer-Directed Health Plan (CDHP) options and the Health Savings Account (HSA) give you more power to manage your health care—and encourage you to make informed health care decisions.
It’s important to understand how your medical coverage works before you need care, so when the time comes you know what to do.
Click the tabs to the left to learn more about your CDHP, and how it works together with your HSA—and how using your plan wisely can save you money on health care expenses today and in the future.

This guide is intended to provide a general overview of certain benefits. Details about those benefits are provided in official plan documents, which govern eligibility for the benefits and the operation of the plans. Any differences between this guide and the plan documents are not intended, but if any differences are found to exist, the plan documents will govern.

A Consumer-Directed Health Plan (CDHP) is a little different than a traditional health plan that you may be used to, but taking time to get to know the plan could mean extra money in your pocket. CDHPs are designed to give you more control over how you spend your health care dollars.
These plans cost less per pay period, but have higher deductibles than other plans. CDHPs allow you to contribute to a special tax-advantaged Health Savings Account (HSA) you can use to pay for qualified health care expenses—like doctor’s bills, hospital charges and pharmacy expenses. Your HSA funds can also be used for dental and vision expenses. Any remaining funds in your HSA carry forward from year to year, so you can build your savings. You own your HSA, not The Hartford, so the money is yours to take with you—wherever you go!

tHe CDHP oPtions at a glanCe
Here are some highlights of how the CDHP options work:• In-network preventive care services are covered at 100%, so you pay nothing.
• You have access to both in-network and out-of-network providers—you’ll pay less when you stay in-network.
• You pay 100% of eligible medical and prescription drug expenses (except for preventive care expenses) until you satisfy the annual deductible. • After you satisfy the deductible the Plan pays a portion of eligible
expenses and you pay the rest (the coinsurance). If you cover dependents, you must satisfy the family deductible.
• An out-of-pocket maximum protects you from the high cost of a major illness or injury.
In addition, the CDHP options offer you the unique ability to save tax-free money through an HSA to pay for health care expenses now—or save for the future.
a note about HoW DeDuCtibles Work unDer tHe CDHPs
If you cover dependents, you must meet the family deductible, not the individual deductible, before the CDHP options begin paying benefits. One family member, or all family members combined, can satisfy the deductible. So, for example, if you elected family coverage under the CDHP Standard option and you have a $3,000 expense in February, you and your family must incur an additional $2,000 in expenses to satisfy the $5,000 family annual deductible (even though you personally have exceeded the $2,500 individual deductible). Let’s suppose you incur an additional $2,000 of expenses in March. Then, the annual deductible has been satisfied for you and all of your covered family members for the remainder of the year.

Keep in mind that you will generally pay less when you use in-network providers, rather than providers who are out-of-network. The plan pays 100% of the cost of in-network preventive care for you and your covered family members, so be sure to take advantage of preventive care screenings and wellness visits. To find an in-network provider, check the online provider directory at anthem.com.

WHat HaPPens WHen You visit Your HealtH Care ProviDer?
When you visit an in-network provider, you will generally pay nothing at the time of your visit. So, when and how do you pay for care? Just follow these steps:1. Present your Anthem health plan ID card. Generally, you do not need to pay anything at the time of your visit. 2. After your visit, your provider will send a bill to Anthem.
3. You will receive your Explanation of Benefits (EOB) from Anthem—the amount listed under “Member Responsibility” is the amount you owe your provider.
4. You will receive a separate bill from your provider. You have a choice to:
— Pay the bill using funds from your HSA—Use your HSA debit card or check to pay your bill, if you have money in your account, or pay out-of-pocket and get reimbursed later. learn more about how to use your HSA to pay for eligible expenses.
OR
— Pay out-of-pocket and save your HSA funds for future use—You may decide that you prefer to save your HSA funds for a future expense. For example, maybe you are saving your funds for a planned surgery next year—or you prefer to use your HSA as a way to save for medical expenses after retirement.
alWaYs CHeCk Your eob CarefullY for aCCuraCY
It’s important to check your EOB carefully to be sure your health services were billed correctly. For example, preventive care services are generally covered at 100%; if you think you were billed for what should have been a preventive care service, be sure to contact your provider. Sometimes health care services can be miscoded by providers resulting in billing errors. Checking your statements may save you from overpaying.

make tHe most of Your visit to tHe DoCtor
Your primary care physician plays a key role in diagnosing health problems, discussing options for care including screening and disease prevention strategies and health promotion, and making referrals as needed for quality care.
Be Prepared for a Medical Appointment
When you go to the doctor, there’s usually a lot to consider in a short amount of time. It’s easy to overlook a symptom you meant to bring up or a question you meant to ask. It helps to be well prepared for your appointment. Here’s how. • Know your medical history, including: allergies, family health history, drug,
alcohol, and tobacco use, and current exercise program.
• Write down any current prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, vitamins, herbal or natural remedies, and supplements you’re taking, including the dosage.
• Have there been any major life changes or stresses you’re currently experiencing? • Take a few minutes before your appointment to make a list of your questions,
concerns, and symptoms, and refer to the list during your appointment.
Feel Confident about Asking Questions
Asking questions, lots of questions, is the number one best step you can take towards getting better health care, and having greater peace of mind about the care you get.
Here are some tips to help you ask questions and get more answers:
• If possible print out or write down all of your questions and bring them to your appointment.
• Bring a family member or friend with you to take notes so that you can
concentrate on what the doctor is saying. If you can’t bring someone, write down or record the discussion, with your doctor’s permission, so you can review it later. • If you don’t understand something, anything, ask the doctor or nurse to explain it
again. It’s their responsibility as medical professionals to make sure you are well informed about your care.

PresCriPtion Drug Coverage unDer tHe CDHP oPtions
When you participate in The Hartford’s health plan, you automatically receive prescription drug coverage through Express Scripts. With the CDHP options, you must satisfy the combined medical/prescription drug annualdeductible before prescription drug coverage begins. Your out-of-pocket prescription drug expenses count toward the combined medical/prescription drug out-of-pocket maximum. Keep in mind, however, that preventive drugs (as mandated by the Affordable Care Act) are covered at 100% with no deductible.
All of The Hartford’s health plan options include a formulary feature, which is a list of commonly prescribed medications that have been shown to be clinically effective and cost effective, and includes four drug types: • Generic
• Preferred brand • Non-preferred brand • Patient Choice
You can purchase these medications through a participating retail pharmacy or by mail through the home delivery program.

1. You will need to present your Express Scripts ID card when you pick up your prescription at a retail pharmacy. Remember, your prescription drug card is separate from your Anthem health plan ID card.

You own your HSA, not The Hartford, so the money is yours to take with you. The CDHP offered in conjunction with an HSA gives you greater control of your health care spending.
• You can take your HSA balance with you—wherever you go! If you switch to another high deductible health plan—such as your spouse’s plan—or if you leave The Hartford, you can continue to use your HSA balance to pay for qualified expenses. • Investment options. Once your HSA balance reaches $2,500,

If you are enrolled in a CDHP and HSA, it’s very important to understand the cost for care and how the plan works so you can accurately budget for your health care expenses. Knowing the general cost of your medical care can help you ensure that you set aside enough money to cover any upcoming expenses. You’ll need to cover your plan’s deductible with out-of-pocket funds or the money in your HSA. So you’ll want to make sure to budget and plan ahead. A good place to start is by reviewing your past expenses. You can access this information on your claims administrators’ websites.

You can withdraw money from your HSA for any reason. But keep in mind that there are tax implications if you use the funds for non-eligible expenses. If you withdraw money before you reach age 65 and don’t use it for eligible health expenses, you will pay a 20% penalty. Also, the money will be treated as ordinary income and subject to taxes (regardless of your age). To avoid paying unnecessary taxes, be sure to think carefully at the time of purchase. For example, if you grab a pack of gum at the pharmacy while picking up your prescription, use your HSA for the
prescription only and pay for the gum with other money.
After the calendar year ends, your W-2 will show any contributions made by you or The Hartford to your HSA. In addition, you will receive a 1099-SA, which shows the withdrawals from your HSA. It’s important to keep all of your Explanation of Benefits forms and receipts throughout the year in case you’re audited. You’ll also receive a Form 5498-SA from Fidelity. This form is used to report distributions made from a health savings account (HSA). Keep this form with your tax return copies in case you’re audited.

One of the best ways to manage your costs is by preventing serious and costly conditions in the future.
