Choices
HM Clause understands that each individual has different needs for themselves and their families. For this reason, we offer a range of medical plan options from which to choose for our Regular Full Time Employees. The plans vary in style, range of flexibility and freedom, and price.
HIGH DEDUCTIBLE HEALTH PLAN
This is a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) offered by HM.Clause that is designed to work alongside a special Health Care Savings Account (HSA). The HDHP works much like the PPO plan, in that members have the choice of using in-network PPO providers or providers not contracted with the health plan. However, there is no first dollar coverage on a HDHP. The member must first satisfy their deductible.
Consumerism
The intent of the HDHP is to allow the member to see and pay for all claims that are incurred, prior to the deductible.Once the deductible is satisfied, the plan performs much like our traditional PPO plan.

Freedom of Choice
A PPO plan is a program that allows considerable range of freedom. You may make any number of elections as to how and where you receive care. The out-of-pocket expense for the PPO program is best managed by always first seeking care from a contracted PPO preferred provider.
Brief Benefit Description
The HDHP has an in-network $1,650 deductible for individuals and $3,300 for families (out of network deductibles are $3,000/individual and $6,000 for families). All expenses incurred before the deductible are bore by the insured.
After the deductible, the Plan pays 80% of the negotiated fees for a PPO preferred provider, and 60% of negotiated fees for a non-contracted provider. Preferred providers accept Anthem’s allowable amount as full payment for covered services.
Non-preferred providers can charge more than these amounts. When you use non-preferred providers, you must pay the applicable copayment plus any amount that exceeds Anthem’s allowable amount. Click on the Benefit Summary below for specific details of this plan.

Description Title
Invest in your health, tax-free
A Health Savings Account (HSA) is like an IRA for your healthcare that empowers you to prepare for and manage healthcare costs — both today and tomorrow. The account is a tax-advantaged medical savings account available to taxpayers in the United States who are enrolled in a high-deductible health plan (HDHP). The funds contributed to an account are not subject to federal income tax at the time of deposit.
Usage
Your HSA can be used to pay for all eligible expenses (typically, prescribed medical or health-related services). Examples of eligible expenses include medical deductibles, copayments, coinsurance, prescription eye care, and dental care expenses.
Tax Benefit
Participants deposit money into an HSA on a pre-tax basis. Meaning, they won't pay regular federal income tax on the HSA deposit. Additionally, most states will also honor pre-tax deposits into the HSA (California is a state that does not honor HSA deposits). HSA funds spent on eligible expenses are not taxed.
Limits
In 2024, the IRS will allow up to $4,150 for individuals, and $8,300 for families, to be deposited into the HSA account.
Use it or Keep it
Unlike the Flexible Spending Account (FSA), unspent HSA funds are allowed to roll over into the next plan year.
Rules
To participate in the HDHP, the following rules apply:
• You may not participate in any other health plan
• You cannot also participate in the Flexible Spending Account in a year you are depositing into the HSA; nor can your spouse
• You may not be covered by Medicare
• You cannot be claimed as a dependent on anyone else's tax return
Please consult with a tax professional to learn all aspects of participating and using an HSA.

Exclusive Provider Organization
Exclusive Provider Organization
HM.Clause offers a single Exclusive Provider Organization (EPO) plan through Anthem for employees located in California. With an EPO plan, you’re free to choose your doctor without referrals. However, your benefit coverage is limited to only within the PPO network. If you seek care from a provider outside of the EPO network, you may be responsible for the full cost of the services and your services won’t be covered.

Limited Freedom of Choice
An EPO plan is a program that allows a limited range of freedom. You may make any number of elections as to how and where you receive care. The limitation to the EPO plan is that you must seek care from a contracted PPO preferred provider, and you cannot receive care from a provider that is out-of-network.
