HEALTH PLANS

Wake County offers two different health plans:

CIGNA Open Access Plus – This plan pays more when you use in-network providers. After you meet your deductible, the Open Access Plus plan pays a large percentage of the total cost and you pay the rest (that’s called coinsurance).

CIGNA Choice Fund HRA – This plan features a Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) funded by Wake County. Like the Open Access Plus plan, it has a deductible and coinsurance, but Wake County funds the HRA with $500 for Single coverage or $1,000 for Family coverage to help pay for medical expenses.

FAQs:

• I am enrolled in the HRA plan and I have fund dollars remaining in my account.  What will happen to the extra money?  The extra fund dollars will rollover or carry over to the next plan year as long as you are enrolled in the HRA Plan.

• I am currently enrolled in the HRA plan and have HRA fund dollars in my medical fund account.  I want to switch to the Open Access Plan for the 2009 plan year.  What will happen to my HRA fund account?  You will forfeit any remaining fund dollars in your HRA Account.  The dollars do not rollover to the Open Access Plan.  However, remaining fund dollars will be applied toward any outstanding claims while you were enrolled in the HRA plan. 

• Will I get a new member id card for 2009?  Employees who are enrolled in the HRA plan will receive new member id cards on or before January 1, 2009.  Employees enrolled in the OAP plan will receive a new card only if they make changes to their coverage level.
