2024 medical plans

Core

Pay higher employee contributions from your paycheck in exchange for a lower deductible, reducing your out-of-pocket costs when you need care.

Choice I

Compatible with: Health Savings Account (HSA)

Pay lower employee contributions from your paycheck in exchange for a higher deductible, giving you more financial responsibility when you need care. You also get a tax-free Health Savings Account (HSA) (with funding from Huber) to help cover your out-of-pocket costs.

Choice II

Compatible with: Health Savings Account (HSA)

Pay the lowest employee contributions from your paycheck in exchange for the highest deductible, giving you greater financial responsibility when you need care. You also get a tax-free Health Savings Account (HSA) (with funding from Huber) to help cover your out-of-pocket costs.

Medical Opt-Out

Earn money back if you select “Medical Opt-Out” for medical and prescription coverage. If you currently have Medical Opt-Out coverage, this will automatically carry over to next year unless you make a change during Annual Enrollment.

What if you don’t make any medical plan election?

If you don’t enroll as a new employee or if you have waived coverage in the past and do not take action during Annual Enrollment, you will automatically default to “No Coverage” and will not receive any money back. In order to enroll in a medical plan or receive money back for opting out, you must take action.

Which plan is right for you?

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?

Scenarios to help you choose

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.

Lauren: Employee-only coverage and low healthcare needs 

Meet Lauren:

  • 28-years-old, single, and has been with Huber for four years as a full-time employee.
  • Has two sick visits with her doctor and filled two prescriptions.
Core Choice I Choice II
Annual Paycheck employee contribution – Single Coverage* $1,591 $939 $246

Total (Annual Contributions + HSA + OOP) $1,823 $1,086 $393

The Choice II Plan would be the best option for Lauren.

*Includes employee contribution wellness credit for confirming tobacco-free status.

Vincent: Employee + spouse coverage and moderate healthcare needs 

Meet Vincent:

  • 56-years-old, married, and has been with Huber for 25 years as a full-time employee.
  • Recently hurt his knee while hiking and had knee replacement surgery. He also sees the doctor four times a year to manage his blood pressure.
  • His spouse, Alex, who does not have access to health coverage elsewhere, is healthy overall, but visited the doctor for bronchitis and received three prescriptions, which was in addition to his annual doctor visit.

HSA Funding N/A ($1,200) ($1,200)

Total (Annual Contributions + HSA + OOP) $5,448 $5,939 $7,040

Meet Jason:

  • 43-years-old, married with one child, and has been with Huber for eight years as a full-time employee.

  • Earlier in the year, he went to the emergency room after having some chest pain. And, recently, Jason’s daughter Allie was diagnosed with asthma after two trips to the emergency room.
  • Allie also had five visits with the doctor, and was given two prescriptions to help keep her asthma under control.
  • In addition, Jason’s spouse, Monica, who does not have access to health coverage elsewhere, has had two sick visits with her doctor and filled two prescriptions during the plan year.
Core Choice I Choice II
Annual Paycheck employee contribution – Employee + Family Coverage* $5,387 $3,506 $1,538
HSA Funding N/A ($1,200) ($1,200)

Total (Annual Contributions + HSA + OOP) $7,784 $7,411 $7,843

The Choice I Plan would be the best option for Jason.

*Includes employee contribution wellness credit for confirming tobacco-free status.

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.

 

Core (PPO)

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.

How the Core plan works 

You pay the plan employee contributions from your paycheck to have coverage.

icon 

Preventive Care

Your preventive care is free when you see in-network doctors — you pay nothing! 

icon 

Deductible

You pay 100% of your non-preventive medical costs until you meet the annual deductible.

icon 

Coinsurance

After meeting the deductible, you and the plan share the cost of covered medical care, with the plan paying the majority.

icon 

Out-of-Pocket Maximum

You’re protected by an annual limit on costs — the plan pays 100% of any further covered expenses for the rest of the year.

feature image
Save money with an FSA! 

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.”

 

Choice I and Choice II (HDHP)

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:

  • If you want to keep your paycheck costs as low as possible: Choice II costs you less in paycheck employee contributions in exchange for a higher deductible and out-of-pocket maximum.
  • If you want to lower your out-of-pocket costs: Choice I costs you more from your paycheck in exchange for a lower deductible and out-of-pocket maximum, while still having access to an HSA. (Keep in mind: The Core plan has the lowest out-of-pocket costs and highest paycheck employee contributions of all of Huber’s medical plan options; however, you are not eligible for an HSA with the Core plan.)

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.

How the Choice I and Choice II plans work

You pay the plan employee contributions from your paycheck to have coverage.

Use your HSA to save money and plan ahead! 

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:

  • The Choice I and Choice II plans cost you less from your paycheck than the Core plan, so you may have extra money available to put in your HSA.
  • You can only spend HSA money that’s actually been deposited into your account. If you don’t have enough money in your HSA when you need it, you can pay another way and reimburse yourself later so you take full advantage of your HSA’s tax savings.
  • You will never forfeit any money left in your HSA — it rolls over year after year. If you know about future expenses or want to save for your health care costs in retirement, set aside a little extra each paycheck so your balance can grow over time.
  • You can change your HSA contribution amount throughout the year as needed to keep up with any changes in your situation.

*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.

 

Prescription Coverage

When you enroll in a Huber medical plan, you automatically receive prescription drug benefits through Express Scripts.

Drug tiers

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.

icon 

Preventive drugs

Medications that have been determined to potentially prevent the onset or recurrence of a disease or condition.

You pay: $0 – $ 

icon 

Generic drugs

Same active ingredients as brand-name equivalents and meet the same standards for quality and effectiveness, but usually cost much less.

You pay: $

icon

Formulary brand drugs

Brand-name medications included on the formulary and favored by your prescription carrier.

You pay: $$

icon 

Nonformulary brand drugs

Brand-name medications not preferred by your carrier. They may still be covered, but may require prior authorization and cost more.

You pay: $$$

Save money on your prescriptions!

The cost of prescription drugs is rising faster than many other health care services and supplies. But, there are ways for you to save.

image
Ask your doctor about generic medications.

Generic medications are generally just as effective as brand-name medications, but they typically cost between 80% and 85% less.

Use the Express Scripts interactive tool

You can price a medication, find out what medications are covered, locate a pharmacy, and more.

Receive your long-term medication through home delivery.

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.

Take advantage of the Rx Savings Solutions program.

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.

Use SaveonSP to pay $0 for certain specialty medications (only available with the Core plan)

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.

Why use home delivery?

  • Prescriptions are shipped to you for free — no waiting in line at the pharmacy.
  • You save money with a reduced cost for a three-month supply (90 days).
  • You can set up automatic refills.
 

Find a Doctor

Using Aetna’s in-network providers saves you money. Here’s how to find doctors in your medical plan network. 

  • Visit the Aetna website.
  • Click on “Find a Doctor” in the top horizontal menu bar.
  • If you’re already a member, log in to find a doctor or pharmacy in your plan’s network.
  • If want to search as a guest, click on “Plan from an employer.”
  • Under “Continue as a guest,” enter your home ZIP code and desired search radius.
  • Under “Select a Plan,” type or select “Aetna Choice® POS II (Open Access).”
  • Enter the name or type of provider you’re searching for OR find what you need by category.

Don’t have a personal doctor? You should. Here’s why.

  • Better health. Getting the right health screenings each year can reduce your risk for many serious conditions. Preventive care is free, so there’s no excuse to skip it.
  • A healthier wallet. Having a doctor you can call helps you avoid costly trips to the emergency room and decide when you really need to see a specialist.
  • Peace of mind. Advice from someone you trust ... it means a lot when you’re healthy, but it’s even more important when you’re sick. Your personal doctor gets to know you and your health history and can help coordinate any care you need.

Aetna Travel and Lodge Benefit

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.

 

Teladoc – General Medical

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:

  • Sore throat, fever, rash
  • Headache, cold and flu, acne
  • Stomachache, allergies, UTIs, and more

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 :

Why telehealth?

Consider Teladoc when:

  • You don’t feel up to going to the doctor’s office.
  • You can’t get to your doctor because you’re traveling or it’s after hours (nights, weekends, holidays).
  • You want the convenience of a virtual medical, dermatology, or behavioral health consultation from the privacy and comfort of your home. 

Transparency in Coverage Rules

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. The MRFs for Huber’s medical plan carrier can be found below:
