          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 2019 IRS maximum ($3,500
          for Employee and $7,000 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.
