From the Corner HR OfficeJoin the wave!
This year I am encouraging you to consider joining the wave. The “wave” consists of Teradyne
employees who have switched to the Health Investment Plan for their health insurance coverage. This
is the plan which features much lower monthly premiums out of your paycheck, and substantial annual
company contributions into a tax-deferred long term Health Savings Account you own for life. In return,
you accept higher deductibles. When it all nets out, we know based on actual claims data that more
than 75% of our employees would be better off financially in this plan.
It’s really the “wave of the future” for health plans in the United States, as well as at Teradyne. After a
major communications and education push last year, enrollment doubled in this plan. Plan participants
new and old are giving it quite positive reviews, almost all of whom are planning to stay in the plan for 2016.
I plan to re-enroll in the plan for my sixth consecutive year.
I highly encourage you to give this plan serious consideration. There are easy to use tools available forI highly encourage you to give this plan serious consideration. There are easy to use tools available for
you to review your past medical claims data, or model hypothetical health situations, and see how
much you would pay in this plan versus your current plan.
Also, please attend one of the employee information sessions coming soon to your site or via webex.
You will be glad you did.
On a related note, we are making several changes to the fund line up and fee structure for the 401k plan in
November which I am confident you will find advantageous. Please read the employee announcements
and check out the Brainshark on the Open Enrollment website highlighting this change or feel free to
contact the HR Service Center with any questions.

Are you missing an opportunity?
Teradyne has a higher than average Savings Plan Participation:
88% of Teradyne employees participate in the 401k Savings Plan
>30% of Savings Plan Participants hit the annual contribution max ($18,000)
Annual contributions to an HSA are independent of what can be contributed to a 401k or Roth IRA.
Teradyne funds 50% of the annual deductible into employees HSA accounts
Think about your overall retirement strategy… Are you maximizing what is available to you?
First, contribute enough to your 401(k) to maximize the employer match
Next, consider contributing to the HSA up to the applicable limit, taking
would recommend the following….
Note: Consult a tax advisor for additional advice on how to maximize your contributions.
Next, consider contributing to the HSA up to the applicable limit, taking
advantage of the employer HSA contribution ($650/$1300)
Next, consider contributing more to your 401(k) up the maximum, $18,000 or
$24,000 if you will be age 50 or older by December 31.
If you still wish to save more, consider contributing to an IRA, individual
savings or brokerage account.
If you have an HSA… Are you STILLmissing an opportunity?
You’ve made the leap to join the plan, but are you taking the opportunity to invest your funds so your investment can grow tax free?

U.S. adults who are age 25-65, have household income of
$25,000 or more, have primary or shared responsibility for
household financial decisions, and receive health care
benefits through their own or their spouse/partner’s

– Teradyne’s contribution to the employee HSA: + $650
– Premium Difference: + $639.36
TRUE Total Cost= $9.36 balance in HSA
Note: This scenario assumes the individual receives all of
standard wellness visits through out the year based on age
and gender, all of which are covered at 100%.
The same scenario under the
Advantage EPO plan would cost: $490
Hypothetical Broken Arm Scenario (Under Family Coverage on Health Investment Plan)

deductible: $2,600
– 10% of the costs up to the out-of-pocket maximum: $1,457.50

The “True” Maximum Out of PocketOutside of monthly premiums, what is the most I could possibly spend in this plan?
Individual Family
Maximum Out of Pocket $3,350 $6,750
less - Teradyne’s Contribution to HSA
(TER funds 50% of the deductible)$650 $1,300
less - Annual Premium Difference
(compared to the EPO)($148.46 -$92.18) x 12 = $675.36 ($445.37 - $276.53) x 12 = $2,026.08
True Out-of-Pocket Maximum with $2,025 $3,423.92* *True Out-of-Pocket Maximum with
TER funding 50% of the deductible &
re-investing the premium difference
$2,025 $3,423.92
The “True” maximum out-of-pocket amount is what employees would need to earmark
in savings to insulate themselves 100% from the extremely low probability of a
catastrophic event . This would mean generating near $44,100 in medical claims.
This amount is similar to ~ 3.5 % contribution of 401k for the average employee salary,
Which can be entirely funded by HSA contributions on a pre-tax basis
* Assumes worse case scenario
(less than 2% of covered members have claims in this category)
