HealthFlex Exchange—Conceptual Framework

More Plan Options 6 Medical/Rx • 3 Dental • 3 Vision Options

Higher premiums, Lower out-of-pocket

Lower premiums, Higher out-of-pocket

YOU “Shop” for Plan with “Credit” (defined contribution)

More premium owed Less premium owed

Premium costs offset by “credit” (fixed defined contribution)

Premium less than DC* (“credit”) = “Excess” deposit to:

HRA or HSA*

Premium exceeds DC* = Salary Deduction

(Medical, Dental, Vision)

* HRA: Health reimbursement account HSA: Health savings account DC: Defined contribution
