在健康保险范围的水域中航行非常棘手。你可能想知道,雇主必须提供健康保险吗?尽管《平价医疗法案》(ACA)要求拥有50名或更多全职同等雇员的雇主提供健康保险,但没有雇主不得不提供福利。
但是,许多雇主确实提供了除外的好处。
And, the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Treasury are releasing a new Excepted Benefits HRA in 2020.
What does this all mean? Should you jump on board and offer excepted benefits to your crew? To make that kind of decision, you need to know what is an excepted benefit and what the new Excepted Benefit HRA is.
有什么其他好处?
ACA下的除外的福利是传统健康保险计划中未包含的覆盖范围类型。
这负担得起的护理法要求传统的健康保险计划涵盖以下健康益处:
- 卧床患者服务
- 紧急服务
- 住院
- 怀孕,产妇和新生儿护理
- 精神卫生和物质使用障碍服务
- Prescription drugs
- 康复和习惯服务和设备
- 实验室服务
- Preventive and wellness services
- Pediatric services, including oral and vision care for children
如您在上面的列表中所看到的那样,不包括一些好处(例如,成人的视觉覆盖范围)。
这re are four categories of excepted benefits, according to the劳工部:
- 非健康覆盖范围
- 健康益处有限
- 特定疾病或疾病覆盖范围
- 补充健康益处
非健康覆盖范围
ACA下的除外福利的第一类包括不被视为医疗保健范围的福利。
这se benefits are add-ons to regular health insurance coverage. Typically, these benefits pay out wage replacement and may incidentally cover medical care coverage after an accident or extended illness or injury. However, they do not cover general health care costs for employees who get sick.
此类别中包含的覆盖范围示例包括:
- Accident-only coverage (e.g., automobile or accidental death and dismemberment insurance)
- Disability insurance
- 工人的赔偿保险
健康益处有限
健康益处有限are offered separately from traditional health care plans. These benefits are not required under the ACA and include:
- 牙齿覆盖范围
- Vision coverage
- Long-term care benefits (e.g., nursing home)
特定疾病或疾病覆盖范围
第三类除外的福利涵盖了特定于某种类型的疾病或疾病的福利类型。这种覆盖范围与小组卫生计划下的福利没有协调。
此类别的例外好处的示例包括:
- Coverage for a specific disease or illness (e.g., cancer insurance)
- 医院赔偿(保险,如果住院持有人支付持有人)
补充健康益处
最后类型的例外福利类别包括为医疗保险或武装部队医疗保健覆盖范围补充的单独保险单。
在极少数情况下,此类别还可能包括补充集团健康计划的单独保险单。
除福利HRA外,
Starting in January 2020, employers can choose to offer employees an Excepted Benefit HRA. If you offer it, your employees must enroll during公开招生。
HRA的一个例外的好处是2020年推出的两种新型HRA类型之一,另一个是个人覆盖范围HRA(ICHRA)。
尽管ICHRA是传统的集团健康保险的替代方法,但雇主可以与传统健康保险一起提供的均等福利。
您可以提供例外的福利HRA吗?
如果您想为员工提供例外的福利HRA,则还必须为他们提供传统的健康保险计划。
However, the employee does not have to enroll in the traditional health insurance plan to enroll in the Excepted Benefit HRA—you just have to offer it.
除了福利HRAS封面外,还有什么?
除福利外,hras涵盖了传统健康保险计划中未包括的东西,包括:
- 牙齿覆盖范围
- Vision coverage
- 短期,限量保险(STLDI)
- 主要健康保险计划未涵盖的共付额,免赔额和其他费用
贡献限制
雇主为例外的福利HRA做出了贡献。但是,您只能为每个员工贡献一定数量。
For 2020, the annual contribution limit for an Excepted Benefit HRA is $1,800.
除了常规HRA的福利外,福利除外
那么,除外的福利和偿还福利的HRA之间有什么区别?
Unlike regular HRAs, Excepted Benefit HRAs can reimburse employees for medical care expenses that are not considered excepted benefits.
