Important Form 1095-C Information

As you may already know, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires Villanova University to provide a Form 1095-C to all benefit eligible faculty and staff. This form confirms that the University offered you and your eligible dependents affordable medical coverage. One requirement of this document is to include Social Security Numbers (SSNs) so that the IRS can tie the information back to tax records. Please ensure during Open Enrollment that all SSNs for yourself and your dependents are reviewed and updated accordingly.

Each year, Benefits Open Enrollment affords you the opportunity to enroll in and make changes to your medical, dental, flexible spending accounts (FSAs), health savings accounts (HSAs), life insurance, and certain voluntary benefits plans.

This year, Benefits Open Enrollment for 2019 will take place online between March 18 through March 29, 2019.

If you do not make an election, your 2018-2019 elections will carry over to 2019-2020 except for the following plans:

• Medical FSA

• Dependent Care FSA

• Child Care Subsidy

• Health Savings Account HSA

We highly encourage you to read this guide and review the information online before making your elections for the 2019-2020 plan year.

Health Care Flexible Spending Account (HC FSA)The annual limit for the HC FSA will increase from $2,650 to $2,700 in accordance with IRS law.

Health Savings Account (HSA)The annual limits for individuals enrolled in a Consumer Driven Health Plan with an HSA will increase from $3,450 (individual)/$6,900 (family) to $3,500 (individual)/$7,000 (family). The $1,000 additional catch-up contribution for individuals 55 and older will remain in place.

Back Up Reimbursement PlanAdministered through HealthAdvocate

Villanova has enhanced the current benefit offering under the Back Up Reimbursement Plan to increase the daily reimbursement from $50 to $75 per

day. In addition, the eligible days per year have been increased from 5 to 10 for a maximum of $750 annually. We believe this is important to allow faculty and staff flexibility when it comes to back up care.

The Consumer Driven Health Plan with HSA is a different approach to how you pay for today’s health care and save for your future. It is a lower-premium, high-deductible health insurance plan, which means you pay less out of your paycheck for premiums and more out of pocket at the point of service—before the plan pays for services that are not considered preventive. Villanova’s CDHP meets the minimum federal requirements that allow an enrollee to also qualify for a tax-advantaged HSA.

Consumer Driven Health Plan (CDHP) with Health Savings Account (HSA) and a Limited-Purpose FSA

Health PlanThe CDHP provides you the flexibility to receive care from both in-network and out-of-network providers (you’ll pay more for out-of-network providers).

In-network age appropriate preventative care services as defined by the plan are covered at 100%—meaning you do not pay for this type of service.

For all other services, you are responsible for paying the full cost of care until you reach the plan’s deductible. You are then responsible for a portion of the cost of care (your coinsurance), until you reach the plan’s out-of-pocket maximum.

See the CDHP with HSA Summary Chart on pages 6 & 7 of this brochure for details. You can also see a side-by-side comparison of all plans in the Pathways booklet.

Pre-Tax Savings Plan(Health Savings Account)

If eligible, you can contribute via payroll deduction on a pre-tax basis to a Health Savings Account (HSA) to pay for out-of-pocket medical expenses, including deductibles, coinsurance, and copayments.

The HSA is a fully employee-owned account. Funds roll over from year to year. There is no “use it or lose it” rule.

Once the balance in your savings account reaches $1,000, you can select from a choice of investment options.

For the 2019-2020 plan year, Villanova will make a tax-free contribution to your account—you must open an HSA, through Villanova’s third-party administrator, Wage Works, in order to receive this funding: • $600 for individual coverage • $1,200 for family coverage

This amount will increase by up to $225 if you and/or your spouse completed the Personal Health Assessment and Health Screening under the NOVAfit! program. This means that the funding of your HSA account could be as large as: • $750 for individual coverage • $1,425 for family coverage

Debit CardWith your HSA, you receive a debit card that you can use for easy access to your account (once funds are accumulated) to pay for out-of-pocket medical expenses, including your copays, prescriptions, and other health care costs.

If you decide to also enroll in the Limited-Purpose FSA—which reimburses you for eligible dental and vision expenses only—your FSA dollars will be loaded onto the same debit card. See the Pathways booklet to learn more about FSA coverage.

An HSA provides you with flexibility in how you pay for medical services today and in the future.

• Tax Advantages: Your contributions to your HSA come out of your paycheck before taxes are withheld, so every dollar that goes toward your HSA reduces your taxable income. Participants can also make contributions to the HSA with after-tax dollars. (Because this is a tax-favored account, there are IRS limits on annual contributions; see chart below for details.)

• Use It Today: Pay for regular health care expenses, including deductibles, coinsurance, copayments, and prescription drugs, with an easy-to-use debit card.

• Save for Tomorrow: If you save more money than you spend on health care expenses in the plan year, you can use that money in the future. Any money remaining in this account at the end of the plan year rolls over into the next year—and, even if you leave Villanova, the money remains yours.

• Invest for Your Future…Tax-Free: Once the balance in your HSA reaches $1,000, your funds will be automatically directed into the investment you select—helping you build savings for your future. When used to pay for qualified medical expenses, distributions from your HSA are tax-free.

• Catch-up Contributions: Employees 55 years of age or older can contribute additional dollars to their HSA. See the chart below for details.

*For illustrative purposes, the chart assumes that an individual did not participate in the annual NOVAfit! Personal Health Assessment and Health Screening Campaign. If you participated, HSA contributions could increase to $750 individual and $1,425 family. Please note that this will reduce the amount of employee contributions accordingly.

What You May Want to ConsiderAs with any benefit choice, there are things you should carefully consider prior to enrolling. As you think about your health care needs, be sure you understand how the medical plan works. Here are some things to keep in mind as you review the CDHP with HSA plan compared to Villanova’s other options:

• Lower Premium: You pay less out of your paycheckfor coverage.

• Higher Out-of-Pocket Costs: You pay 100% of anycovered non-preventive expenses until you meet yourdeductible before the plan pays for services.

– Deductible: If you’re enrolled in family coverage,you must meet the entire family deductible before theplan pays—unlike the PPO plan.

– Out-of-Pocket Maximum: If you’re enrolled infamily coverage, you must meet the entire familyout-of-pocket maximum before the plan pays 100%—there is no per person maximum like there is in theHMO and PPO plans.

• Access to the Same Doctors and Networks: TheCDHP with HSA is offered through IndependenceBlue Cross, so you will continue to have access todoctors and networks that are currently part of theIBC network.

• Limited-Purpose Flexible Spending Account:According to federal regulations, HSA participantsare not eligible to participate in a regular HealthCare Flexible Spending Account (FSA). However,HSA participants can participate in the Limited-Purpose FSA, which provides a tax-free way to saveand pay for dental and vision expenses not coveredby your health plan.

All other Health Care FSA rules and features applyto the Limited-Purpose FSA—same maximum, sameuse-it- or-lose-it rule, same claim-filing deadline, andif you enroll, you will receive a debit card to pay foreligible dental and vision expenses. If you elect anHSA, you will receive one combined debit card.

HSA Requirements• You cannot be covered under another non- CDHP

medical plan or Health Care FSA (such as yourspouse’s plan/FSA) and contribute, or receiveVillanova’s contribution, to the HSA.

• HSA contributions must be in your account beforeyou can use them to pay for eligible medical expensesor receive reimbursement.

Please note that Villanova’s funding will be depositedat the beginning of the plan year.

• You must be under age 65 and not enrolled inMedicare to contribute, or to receive Villanova’scontribution, to the HSA.

If you enroll in the CDHP for 2019-2020 and currently have a 2018-2019 Health Care FSA, you must have a $0 balance in your FSA by May 31, 2019 to be eligible for an HSA in June 2019.

If you have a balance remaining in your Health Care FSA as of June 1, 2019, you will not be eligible to enroll in the HSA or receive Villanova’s contribution until September 1, 2019.

If this occurs, you will not be able to use HSA funds to get reimbursed for medical costs incurred before September 1.
