Open Enrollment This year Open Enrollment is passive. If you do not make any changes to your currentcoverage, your current elections will automatically carry over to Plan Year 2021-2022. There are exceptions. Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) and Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) require an annual election amount.
This Open Enrollment Guideincludes information forevaluating your benefit options. Please review it with your family to ensure you choose the health plan that’s right for you.
Any new elections and all changes become effective July 1, 2021.
Contact the benefits team at 602-506-1010 if you have questions or need assistance.
Maricopa County's Health Plan CostsMaricopa County's health plans are self-funded; the County assumes the financial risk for providing healthcare benefits to its employees. The County saves the money that an insurance company adds to its premium for a fully-insured plan, but is also responsible if the amount of claims is larger than expected.
The total expected increase for the coming plan year is budgeted at $14.8M. The County is picking up 92.3% of the cost, or $13.7M. The majority of employees will only see a small increase per pay period.
Refer to pages 13 through 16 for premiums by plan.
Comparing Maricopa County's BenefitsThe table below compares Maricopa County premiums to those of other government and private employer plans. Even without the wellness incentive of $30/paycheck ($60/month), County premiums remain competitive.

Introduction
Maricopa County gives you access to benefits and resources to help you take care of your physical, emotional and financial health. It’s up to you to choose the benefits that best meet your needs. Open Enrollment is your annual opportunity to choose the benefits that are best for you and/or your family.
Maricopa County contributes a significant amount towards the cost of your benefits. Your share of the contributions for medical, vision, and dental benefits are deducted on a pre-tax basis which helps reduce your tax liability.

The HMO is the most restrictive form of managed care, but generally has lower premiums and out-of-pocket costs. Coverage is available only in Maricopa County, except for a life threatening emergency. Telehealth is available at no cost.

The County's Medical PlansMaricopa County offers four medical plan options to choose from when selecting the coverage that is best for you and your family. Each medical plan is bundled with a prescription and behavioral health benefit. Your medical plan choices are:
PPO (Preferred Provider Organization)A PPO offers access to a broad “preferred” provider network of physicians, specialists, and hospitals. Selection of a primary care physician (PCP) is not required, nor are referrals to see other providers within the network. These plans offer more flexibility but with higher premiums and out-of-pocket costs. Both nationwide in-network and out-of-network coverage is available. Telehealth is available at no cost.
HDHP (High Deductible Health Plan) An HDHP is a health insurance plan with lower premiums. With an HDHP, the plan pays nothing toward health care services, except for in-network preventive care, until the deductible has been met. There is access to a broad range of in-network providers, and both in-network and out-of-network coverage is available. Under IRS regulations, a Health Savings Account may be opened to set aside money to pay for eligible health care expenses. Telehealth is available.

Financial Health Insurance Terms
Premium – The amount you pay per pay period for health insurance.
Copayment – A fixed dollar amount you pay for covered health services, such as a doctor’s visit.
Coinsurance – A percentage of the total cost of covered health services you pay. This often starts after the deductible is satisfied.
Deductible – A fixed, annual amount you pay for covered health services before the health plan (insurance) starts to pay. For certain services, such as in-network preventive care, you are not required to first satisfy the deductible.
Dual Coverage – The same person is enrolled under more than one of Maricopa County's employee benefits. Dual coverage is prohibited for employees and dependents on all County plans.
In-Network – A group of doctors, hospitals, pharmacies, and other providers who contract with the insurance companies and provide services at negotiated rates.
Out-of-Network – A group of doctors, hospitals, pharmacies, and other providers who do not contract with the insurance companies and do not provide services at negotiated rates. You pay more out of pocket and have fewer protections.
Balance Bill – The difference between the amount charged by an out-of-network provider for a covered health service and the amount your health plan (insurance) pays. Out-of-network providers may balance bill you for these costs.
Out-of-Pocket Maximum – The maximum annual out-of-pocket amount you pay before the health plan (insurance) pays 100% of covered health services. For out-of-network services, providers may balance bill even after the out-of-network, out-of-pocket maximum is reached.
Use In-Network Providers to Save Money While it’s a personal preference to use out-of-network providers, there are some protections you lose by doing so. 1. The health plans do not
contract with out-of-network providers which means they don't check into providers' history such as their medical license, education, training, work history, malpractice claims, board certification, health outcomes, etc.
2. Out-of-network providers may balance bill you, which means billing you for the difference between the amount they charge you for a covered service and the amount your insurance pays.
3. Overall, you pay more out of pocket for out-of-network services.
The language of health insurance can be hard to understand. Yet it is important to have a basic knowledge of the industry's terminology. Here are some of the most common financial insurance terms to help you make sense of it all—so you can make smart decisions that will benefit you and your family.
