Medical Insurance
Blue Shield | HSA Medical Plan
With the HSA plan through Blue Shield, you can pay for qualified healthcare expenses now and grow your savings for
future healthcare needs. This plan combines a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) with a special, tax-qualified savings
account (HSA). You can contribute tax-free money to your HSA up to IRS maximums. In addition, Rauxa will deposit
$20 per paycheck into your account. The money in your account is yours to pay for current healthcare expenses - or
you can save toward future healthcare expenses. Similar to the PPO plan, you have the freedom to choose your doctor
without the requirement of selecting a PCP and you may self-refer to specialists. You may use a network provider whose
negotiated rates provide richer levels of benefits with claim forms filed by the providers. You may also obtain services
using a non-network provider; however, you will be responsible for the difference between the covered amount and the
actual charges and you may be responsible for filing claims.
Blue Shield | PPO Medical Plans
The Blue Shield Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plans allow you to direct your own care. If you receive care from
a physician who is a member of the network, a greater percentage of the entire cost will be paid by the insurance plan,
however, you are not limited to the physicians within the network and you may self-refer to specialists. If you obtain
services using a non-network provider, please note that you will be responsible for the difference between the covered
amount and the actual charges, and you may be responsible for filing claims.
