Choosing the right medical option for you and your covered family members is an important and personal decision involving cost and other factors. Here are some considerations to think about:
Do you want to: | Core | Choice I or Choice II |
---|---|---|
Pay less from your paycheck even if that means a higher deductible to meet when you need care? | ||
Save for future health care costs by opening and contributing to a tax-free HSA that you own for life and never forfeit any unused balance? | ||
Keep your paycheck costs and out-of-pocket costs more balanced? |
The 2024 costs shown below represent the bi-weekly employee contributions you pay from your paycheck.
Plan and Coverage Level | Wellness Credit | No Wellness Credit |
---|---|---|
Core | ||
Employee only | $61.18 | $88.88 |
Employee + spouse | $132.78 | $188.16 |

The following scenarios are intended to help you compare your potential out-of-pocket costs with the three medical plan options: Core, Choice I and Choice II. You can use these scenarios as a guide to decide which plan may be right for you by choosing a profile that most closely matches your situation and healthcare needs for 2024 and seeing which option offers the lowest total annual cost.

Note: The costs for healthcare services shown in the examples above are for illustrative purposes only. Actual costs will vary by geographic region, physicians’ fees, and specific types of services provided. The costs also assume that you remain covered as an active, tobacco-free, benefit-eligible employee for the entire 2024 plan year and use in-network services throughout the year.
With the Core plan, you pay higher employee contributions from your paycheck to have a lower deductible and out-of-pocket maximum, which keeps your out-of-pocket costs down. You can see any provider you wish, but you will pay less when you stay in network.
This plan is compatible with a Health Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA), which allows you to contribute pre-tax money from your paycheck and then use those tax-free funds to pay for eligible health care expenses. Keep in mind, an FSA is a “use it or lose it” account, which means you cannot carry over any unused balance after the end of the plan year and grace period.
You pay the plan employee contributions from your paycheck to have coverage.
A Health Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA) lets you take advantage of tax-free savings when paying for health care. But, be sure to plan your FSA contributions carefully: the money in your FSA does not carry over after the end of the plan year and grace period; you must “use it or lose it.”
The Choice I and Choice II plans pair low-employee contribution, high-deductible coverage with a tax-free Health Savings Account (HSA) that helps you save money and plan ahead for future medical expenses. This combination gives you more control over your money and rewards you for making healthy, cost-conscious choices.
As an added bonus, Huber will contribute to your HSA — $600 for employee-only coverage or $1,200 if you cover dependents.
The Choice I and Choice II plans work the same, but help you manage your costs differently:
With the Choice I and Choice II plans, you can see any provider you wish, but you will pay less when you stay in network.
You pay the plan employee contributions from your paycheck to have coverage.
Contributing to your HSA is a great way to budget for deductibles and other out-of-pocket expenses while also saving money — your HSA contributions are tax-free!*
Keep in mind:
*HSA contributions are not subject to federal income tax, but are currently subject to state income tax in CA and NJ. Consult with your tax advisor to understand the potential tax implications of enrolling in an HSA. Money in an HSA can be withdrawn tax-free as long as it is used to pay for qualified health-related expenses. If money is used for ineligible expenses, you will pay ordinary income tax on the amount withdrawn, plus a 20% penalty tax if you withdraw the money before age 65.
When you enroll in a Huber medical plan, you automatically receive prescription drug benefits through Express Scripts.
The cost of your prescription drugs under each medical plan depends on the tier of the medication — generic, formulary brand, or nonformulary brand. The formulary is a list of preferred drugs based on effectiveness and cost.
As a part of our preventive care coverage, there is also a list of drugs that are covered before you meet your deductible in the Choice I and Choice II plans. For most prescription drugs, your cost share (coinsurance) will apply, but depending on the drug, some may be covered at 100%.
Review the Express Scripts Formulary list to determine if your or a family member’s prescriptions are covered.
The cost of prescription drugs is rising faster than many other health care services and supplies. But, there are ways for you to save.
Generic medications are generally just as effective as brand-name medications, but they typically cost between 80% and 85% less.
You can price a medication, find out what medications are covered, locate a pharmacy, and more.
If you take a maintenance medication to treat a chronic condition — such as an allergy, heart disease, high blood pressure, or diabetes — the convenience and cost savings of the home delivery prescription program through Express Scripts will save you time and money.
This program works in conjunction with your prescription coverage to help you find the best price for your prescription medication. You can also sign up to receive alerts when there’s an opportunity to save money on your current prescriptions. Learn more and activate your free account. For questions, call 1-800-268-4476 or email support@rxsavingssolutions.com.
If you’re enrolled in the Core plan and take a medication on the Non-Essential Health Benefit Specialty Drug list, you may be eligible to pay a zero-dollar copay for your prescription. If this program applies to you, SaveonSP will reach out to you directly with more information and explain how to enroll.
Using Aetna’s in-network providers saves you money. Here’s how to find doctors in your medical plan network.
Huber has added a travel and lodging reimbursement benefit (up to $10,000 per year) through your Aetna medical plan, for all covered services where no in-network provider is available within 100 miles of your residence. Contact 866-276-1820 for more details.
Through your Aetna medical plan, you can take advantage of convenient telehealth services provided by Teladoc. Teladoc offers you 24/7 access to board-certified doctors by phone or video, giving you fast, quality care from wherever you are. Teladoc doctors can diagnose, treat, and prescribe medication when needed for many common conditions, such as:
You can also schedule behavioral health and dermatology appointments through Teladoc.
Teladoc is a cost-effective alternative to the ER and urgent care. In some cases, it may also be less expensive than your primary care physician. A Teladoc virtual visit costs $49 until your deductible is met, and then coinsurance would apply.
Register today to ensure you’re ready to use Teladoc whenever you need it. You have three ways to access Teladoc :
Consider Teladoc when:
The federal Transparency in Coverage Rules require certain group health plans to publicly disclose price and cost-sharing information. This information includes in-network provider rates as well as historical out-of-network allowed amounts and billed charges for covered items and services, which is to be shared via two separate machine-readable files (MRFs). The machine-readable files are formatted to allow researchers, regulators and application developers to more easily access and analyze data.
