ABOUT THE HSA OPTION
A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a tax-advantaged account that you own. Both you and 5.11 can make tax-free contributions.
5.11 contributes $500 for Employee Only, $750 for Employee + Spouse or Child(ren) and $1,200 for Employee + Family
coverage over the next 12 months. You can contribute additional funds into your HSA up to the 2018 IRS maximum ($3,450
for Employee and $6,900 for Family). The contributions earn interest and can be used to cover a wide range of healthcare
expenses. Whatever amount that remains in your account at the end of the year “rolls-over.” Most importantly, your HSA is
portable and offers you freedom for the future.

The HSA Medical option includes a high deductible health plan. After the deductible has been satisfied, you will pay the
copays and coinsurance shown in the benefit summary up to the out-of-pocket-maximum. You have the option of signing
up for an HSA debit card that you can use to pay providers. To get the most effective use of the debit card, we recommend
that you only use your debit card to pay providers after your claim has been submitted to the insurance company and you
receive your Explanation of Benefits (EOB). This way you can take full advantage of your Aetna Managed Choice discount
(if applicable). Your Aetna Managed Choice discount is applied real-time at the pharmacy making this a great place to use
your debit card.
