DHMO 2500 SBC

HDHP 6000 SBC 

UHC Benefit Brochure

Comprehensive and preventive healthcare coverage is important in protecting you and your family from the financial risks of unexpected illness and injury, which provides peace of mind.  A little prevention usually goes a long way, especially in healthcare.  Routine exams and regular preventive care provide an inexpensive review of your health.  Small problems can potentially develop into large expenses.  By identifying the problems early, often they can be treated at little cost.  In case of an illness or injury, you and your family are covered with excellent medical plan options available through Cherry Creek Schools.

Cherry Creek Schools offers you a choice of four medical plans:

• Kaiser DHMO 2500
• HDHP 6000 (HSA qualified)

With the DHMO plans and the high deductible plan, you must select a medical group and primary care physician (PCP) in the Kaiser Permanente Network although you may receive services without selecting a PCP.  Women may select an additional Woman's Principal Healthcare Provider (WPHCP) with a referral arrangement from their PCP.  With the DHMO plans, all care must be provided by your PCP, WPHCP or Kaiser medical group.

Keep your teeth healthy and your smile bright with the Cherry Creek School District's three different benefit plan options.  This comparison chart provides a summary for each dental plan Delta Dental Plan Comparison

Delta Preferred Plan (PPO)

The PPO plan is Delta Dental's preferred option program.  With Delta Dental PPO, you have access to a network of dentists who accept reduced fees for covered services, giving you the lowest out-of-pocket costs. Delta Dental Preferred Dentists can be found online at www.deltadentalco.com.

Delta Exclusive Provider Plan (EPO)

The Exclusive Provider Plan (EPO) stresses preventive care and requires specific copayments for most dental services.  You must obtain all dental care from a Delta Preferred dentist (PPO).  Delta Preferred dentists can be found on line at www.deltadentalco.com.  There is no out-of-network benefit, if you enroll in this plan and use an out of network dentist, you are responsible for the full cost.

A Flexible Spending Account (FSA) offers you an easy way to reduce your taxes.  Money withheld for an FSA is not subject to Federal and State income taxes and Social Security Tax.  When you participate in an FSA, you are only taxed on the income left over after you have paid certain out-of-pocket healthcare and daycare expenses.  An FSA provides valuable benefits and tax savings since many of your normal expenses can be paid with pre-tax money!  You and your dependents do not need to be enrolled in Cherry Creek School District's medical, dental, or vision insurance plans to utilize an FSA.  You can use these monies with your spouse's insurance plans or Medicare.

Alerus offers two separate Flexible Spending Accounts - one for medical expenses and one for dependent childcare and/or elder care expenses. You can enroll in one or both FSA's depending on your family's needs, but you must use each account separately.

• Medical Spending Account Limit: $2,750 per family per calendar year.
• Dependent Care Spending Account Limit: $5,000 per individual or joint tax return or $2,500 per calendar year for an individual who is married and filing a separate tax return.  NOTE: Both spouses cannot select more than $2500 for a combined $5000 per household.

A Health Savings Account (HSA) is an individually-owned, tax-advantaged account that you can use to pay for current or future IRS-qualified medical expenses. With an HSA, you'll have the potential to build more savings for healthcare expenses or additional retirement savings through self-directed investment options.

How an HSA works:

• You can contribute to your HSA via payroll deduction, online banking transfer, or by sending a personal check to HSA Bank. Your employer or third parties, such as a spouse or parent, may contribute to your account as well.
• You can pay for qualified medical expenses with your Health Benefits Debit Card directly to your medical provider or pay out-of-pocket. You can either choose to reimburse yourself or keep the funds in your HSA to grow your savings.
• Unused funds will roll over year to year. After age 65, funds can be withdrawn for any purpose without penalty (subject to ordinary income taxes).
• Check balances and account information via HSA Bank's Member Website or mobile device 24/7. Are you eligible for an HSA?

If you have a qualified High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) - either through your employer, through your spouse, or one you've purchased on your own - chances are you can open an HSA. Additionally:

• You cannot be covered by any other non-HSA-compatible health plan, including Medicare Parts A and B.
• You cannot be covered by TriCare.
• You cannot be claimed as a dependent on another person's tax return (unless it's your spouse).
• You must be covered by the qualified HDHP on the first day of the month.
