Elmet Technologies offers three Patient Advocates medical plans to its eligible employees. You may choose between the HSA Plan, PPO Plan, and PPO Gold Plan, unless you are a Union member hired before April 15th, 2013. If you are enrolled in the union-contracted Allegiant Care plan, you are not eligible to elect any of the Patient Advocates plans.
The Patient Advocates HSA plan is a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) which qualifies participants to contribute to a Health Savings Account (HSA). If you elect the HSA plan, you are not required to open or contribute to a Health Savings Account (HSA), however, those who do contribute to an HSA will reduce their taxable income and be able to pay for medical, dental, vision, and prescription expenses Federal income-tax-free. See the Health Savings Account (HSA) page for more information. This plan has the lowest premiums, highest deductible, and highest maximum out-of-pocket costs. All services, including pharmacy, are subject to the deductible and coinsurance, and there are no copays with this plan. Once you meet your deductible, you pay coinsurance until you satisfy the out-of-pocket maximum.
The Patient Advocates PPO plan offers copays for services like office visits, ER visits, and prescription drugs. For most other services, you are responsible for a deductible and coinsurance until you meet your out-of-pocket maximum. Please be aware that copays do not count towards your deductible, only your out-of-pocket maximum. Preventive care is always covered at 100% before the deductible.
The Patient Advocates PPO Gold plan option has the lowest deductible out of all plans, but has the highest premiums. Services are covered at 100% after a copay, as long as you stay in-network and coordinate care through the Patient Advocates Nurseline. Otherwise, you are responsible for an out- of-network deductible and coinsurance until you meet your out-of-pocket maximum.

HSA & FSA
Healthcare Flexible Spending Account
You can contribute up to $2,750 during 2021 into a Healthcare FSA. Eligible Healthcare FSA expenses include deductibles, copays, coinsurance, prescription drugs, over-the-counter drugs (no prescription required), dental, and vision expenses. Participants in the FSA receive a debit card so that many expenses can be paid at the time of service.
Use It or Lose It
Claims must be incurred by December 31, 2021 to be eligible for reimbursement for the 2021 plan year. The IRS requires that any unused money in your account at the end of the plan year is retained by your employer and forfeited by the employee. However, the IRS allows Healthcare FSA plan members to roll over up to $550 of unused funds for future use.
Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
A Healthcare Flexible Spending Account allows you to pay for out-of-pocket costs with pre-tax dollars, saving you money. Medcom is the FSA Administrator. Your prior FSA election will not automatically continue in 2021. You must actively elect to participate in 2021 by completing your benefits enrollment.
Health Savings Account (HSA)
If you have signed up for the company HSA health plan, you are eligible for a free Health Savings Account (HSA). This savings account stays with you even after leaving the company, and Elmet will contribute $500 per year to the account as long as you contribute each year. The money from this HSA is tax-free and can be spent on qualified medical-related costs, such as over-the-counter medications, prescriptions, vision, or medical expenses. You receive a free debit card with this account and also can reimburse yourself for any costs you pay out of pocket. Once you reach 65 years of age, the money in the account can be spent for any purpose. You can contribute up to the below maximum amounts per year to your account:
Employee Maximum Contributions
Plan Year Individual Coverage Family Coverage Over 55 Catch Up
2021 $3,100 $6,700 $1,000
*Maximums have factored in Elmet’s $500 annual contribution
To get started, enroll by seeing HR for a form, or call KeyBank at 207-262-5712. There is no minimum balance, and the account also includes ATM access and free online transfers and bill pay. Eligibility does require that you are not a dependent on someone else’s tax return and that you’re not covered by Medicare, Tri-Care, or another health insurance plan (other than as permitted in IRS Publication 969).

The website above allows you to put in your information and view what you’ve earned toward your pension and what your projected monthly payment would be based on different retirement ages. Your pension can also have different modifiers to guarantee payment to beneficiaries with certain terms, such as a surviving spouse annuity. An employee retiring at age 62 or beyond will receive their medical insurance paid for until they reach Medicare age at 65. There are additional supplements and premiums employees can receive depending on the specific retirement age they choose.
Teamsters Union Pension Plan
• To receive the regular pension, you must be at least 64 years old and have at least 15 years of pension credit.
• You can elect to retire earlier, as long as you are fully vested. If you do so, you will receive a smaller portion of your pension credits, based on the below grid:
