Good News on Cost + Plan Updates
For the third year in a row, there will be no increases to medical plan contributions for full-time salaried employees.
- Option 1 will have lower contributions along with a reduced annual deductible and out-of-pocket maximum.
- Option 2 will have lower contributions, and as a qualified high-deductible plan, the option to open a Health Savings Account (HSA).
- All services, including prescription drugs, will be subject to the deductible, except preventive services.
- If you’re currently enrolled in Option 2 and do not take action during Annual Enrollment, you will remain in the new Option 2 for 2023. Click here for more details on Option 2 changes.
